Fan Convector Heaters - COVID -19

ShippoYork
To all

We are all aware of the requirements and advice for using AHU/AC systems in relation to COVID -19 , specifically fan coil units , however I am struggling to find any guidance from HSE, or BESA on the safe operation / use of Fan convector heaters during COVID-19


I would appreciate any advice

    Are you talking about electric/lthw heaters serving a single room? Personally, I don't see any issues.

    The main concern with central AHU/AC systems was the ability for the virus to spread due to circulation of air around several offices. Within a single room you would not normally be sharing the air with people who otherwise would not be in that room. I would also suggest that the action of convector heaters in passing air over a hot element would act to reduce any airborne virus that might be present.
