Vornado EH1-0096-43 Portable Electric Unit Heater

Product Description

The VORNADO EH1-0096-43 is a portable electric unit heater rated at a maximum of 5,118 BTU/h and 1,500 watts. It operates on 120 volts at 12 amps and delivers adjustable heat output, with a minimum rating of 2,559 BTU/h for lower-demand situations. The white housing is compact enough for spot heating in smaller work areas, mechanical rooms, or utility spaces. HVAC technicians and facilities maintenance staff typically deploy this type of unit for supplemental or temporary heating where a hardwired solution is not required or practical.

This portable heater is suited for residential and light commercial applications where a standard 120-volt outlet is available. Typical install scenarios include workshops, garages, basements, and service areas that require localized heat without permanent installation. Its compact footprint at 9.25 inches wide and 12 inches tall allows placement in confined spaces. No ductwork or dedicated circuit is required beyond a properly rated 120-volt receptacle.

Installation Notes

Installation of this unit requires no hardwiring; plug into a grounded 120-volt receptacle rated for continuous 12-amp draw. Verify the circuit is not shared with other high-draw appliances to avoid nuisance tripping. Place the unit on a stable, level surface away from flammable materials, and ensure adequate clearance around the housing for airflow. A licensed electrician should evaluate circuit capacity if there is any question about the existing wiring.
