Questions & Answers

Can be used for electric heat
ByOct 2, 2024
1 Answer | 
Answer This Question

This product is designed for central forced air heating and cooling systems. It might not be suitable for electric baseboard heaters. The deflectors are designed to change the airflow direction of air from a forced-air heating system. On an electric baseboard, they would probably just trap heat and then get over-heated.

Can this be used for a ceiling air vent to prevent the air from coming straight down?

Answer This Question

I belive so. You will need double stick tape

    I guess it could, although it's designed for floors. It has pretty strong magnets on it so it might work on the ceiling, depending on the type of grate you have.

        I read NOT to put deflectors under windows because the heater vent was put there to serve a porpose. I had a window crack on me one cold winter and I had a deflector under it. I will not use the deflectors on vents under windows. Is it true that it's a bad idea to deflect the heat away from windows?

        Answer This Question

        We recommend checking with your local builders code to verify. However, the following information may be helpful in answering your question: Note that in some areas it is part of the building code to have a vent under a window. If more than one window is in a room then at least 1 vent needs to be installed. "Window glass is the coldest part of a wall. When warm room air hits it, the air cools, and cool air sinks. ... The placement of forced-air heat registers or baseboard heating units under the windows counteracts this process by sending up warm air to mix with the cool. The end result is that the room feels more comfortable"

          Does this direct the air down or straight out?

          This directs the air down.

            Down

            By|Mar 4, 2019

              It directs the air down. I use it in my vents in front of my windows. It works. Would give 3 out of 5 stars because it does need to be repositioned once in a while

              By|Jan 25, 2023

                It seems that it's designed to direct the air downward. You may be able to reposition it to change the direction, as shown in the photos.

                By|Jul 28, 2023

                  Depends on how you position it. If you mount it on the floor, it will direct the air out. If you mount it on a baseboard vent, then it will direct the air down.

                  By|Mar 4, 2019

                    If you direct the curve facing down as the picture shows, it does direct the air flow down and across the floor. There's no way to adjust it so that product is angled further upwards due to curvature, magnet placement, gravity, etc. On the other hand, one of the cats has figured out that it is THE place to stretch out if she wants to be blown with warm air during the winter.

                          Mine is used over an air vent. I have electric heat but only air is at the vent coming through from duct work.

                            It will just make the air deflect straight out before it goes into the room and not up and get waisted behind a curtain

                            By|Jan 31, 2021

                              Yes. But only on a baseboard vent, so it won't break if it falls (which is very likely)

                              By|Mar 8, 2023

                                I would imagine they would if you flip them over

                                  Why doesn't anybody make a deflector for wall heaters or electric fireplaces? They would sell out in a min.

                                  Yes! that is exactly what I'm looking for! I am wondering if the baseboard deflector can be attached to my electric stove heater because the small heater is at the top and goes up.

                                    Thank you for your suggestion! Deflecto will look into the possibility of new product designs for wall heaters and electric fireplaces.

                                        I actually use this for my air conditioner. They make things for air conditioners, something like this, but they’re way more expensive. This was a great alternative. I mean, I just attached it with some double-sided tapes. You know the ones that come with the hooks that you just pulled the little tab when you’re done and it pulls the tape right off. It works great. The air is diverted up towards the center of the room, instead of straight out now.

                                          Well worth the money if you need an oversized deflector. Had to make a few modifications since my HVAC unit is similar to those found in motels…live in an assisted living facility…with a non-metal housing. Good purchase and, as always, process was a breeze on the Home Depot site.

                                          it took 3 different orders to get them here. Item not user friendly and is not deep enough to deflect the draft

                                          magnets on this were not well thought out and I had to alter their 'attachment' to the plastic to make them strong and reliable. My use of this deflector was actually for a floor register, but the register was right under some window drapes when they were closed. So after fixing the magnets to be more secure, it works well due to the steep upward angle of deflection, and the bottom of the drapes are held behind it now.
