9 best heat guns

Today, heat guns help maintain a comfortable temperature in unheated rooms of various sizes. They are volumetric heaters, equipped with additional fans for accelerated air exchange. Thanks to these devices, it is possible to raise the temperature by 10-15 ° C in minutes. There are several types of heat guns, they differ in the type of energy consumed. Each of them has its advantages and disadvantages. When choosing, experts recommend to pay attention to a few points.

How to choose a heat gun

1. Power. First of all, the power and performance of the device is adjusted to the size of the room. It is one thing to warm a small change house in a warehouse where several people constantly work. A small electric heater is suitable here. Completely different requirements apply to the gun, which will work in the garage or in the production workshop.
2. Power source. As for the source of energy, the easiest way to connect to the grid. But guns capable of operating at a voltage of 220 V are not distinguished by high power. It’s another thing if there is an output of 380 V. Gas or diesel models may come to the rescue, in which fuel burns, emitting the necessary amount of heat. But their price will be higher, and with improper handling there is a risk of poisoning with exhaust gases.
3. Manufacturer. The release of heat guns are engaged in many firms. Chinese models under the Ballu brand won wide popularity in Russia. They combine affordability and efficiency. A serious competitor in the market is the Russian manufacturer Interskol. The brand is recognized not only in the CIS countries, but also in the European Union.

The best heat guns hit our rating. When selecting applicants, the following criteria were taken into account:
