A fan-forced wall heater sits in a can recessed between the studs, with a grille flush on the wall, and blows warm air into the room. It heats a room faster than a baseboard and takes no floor space, which suits bathrooms, entries and rooms with no free wall under a window. The fan makes some noise. Most come with a thermostat on the grille, and some let the installer choose the wattage.
