Product Overview

Whether you want to quickly heat your immediate area or deliver long-term even heating to an entire room – the Honeywell HZ-817 Whole Room Baseboard Heater has you covered. This convection heater is equipped with 2 heating modes: a Quick Heat mode and a Convection Heating mode. In Quick Heat mode, the unit propels a steady blast of warm air throughout your immediate area to bring you quick, comfortable warmth. In standard convection heating mode, the unit disperses even, consistent heat to your entire space.

With multiple heating options, a low profile design, and virtually silent operation, the HZ-817 heater is perfect for warming up bedrooms, dens, offices, and living areas. Additionally, the Honeywell HZ-817 baseboard heater was recently named a "Best Buy" by a leading consumer reporting agency based on its excellent combination of performance and value.

Easy Automatic Heating

To keep you cozy and comfortable at all times, the HZ-817 whole room heater automatically maintains your desired temperature setting. To use this simple feature, start warming your space in Quick Heat mode. Once the room reaches a comfortable temperature, turn the thermostat knob counterclockwise until the heater goes off. The heater's thermostat will then cycle the unit on and off to maintain your selected temperature.

Energy Smart Mode

To save further on your monthly energy bills, this Honeywell heater is equipped with an Energy Smart operating mode that regulates the unit's power consumption. Start using this feature by choosing from one of four Energy Smart temperature settings (65°F, 70°F, 75°, or 80°F). Once a setting is selected, the HZ-817 heater will select an appropriate power level to accommodate the temperature. When the room's temperature reaches your setting, the heater lowers power consumption to provide warmth without wasting energy. This feature can ultimately save you up to 35% on energy bills.

Numerous Safety Features

The Honeywell HZ-817 convection heater has numerous safety features to give you peace of mind during operation. These include:

  • Overheat Protection: Shuts off the unit if the high temperature limit is reached.
     
  • SafeGuard Alert Indicator: Changes color from black to red when the grille is hot in order to prevent burn injuries.
     
  • Tip-Over Protection: Automatically disables heater operation if it is accidentally tipped over. It is especially useful with pets and young children around.
     
  • Stable Power Supply: The HZ-817 portable heater uses a heavy-duty power cord and a 3-prong grounded plug to protect against electrical shocks.
     
  • Backup Thermal Circuit Breaker: Permanently shuts down the heater if it operates at higher than normal temperatures.

Additional Control Features

  • Manual Controls: Manual control knobs are foolproof and easy to use.
     
  • LED Temperature Indicator: LED lights indicate the current room temperature.
     
  • Defrost Control: The heater's Frost Watch function automatically turns on the unit if the ambient temperature falls below 55 degrees F. This helps to protect against pipe freezing and frost damage indoors.
     
  • Override Heating Mode: When it's necessary to override the Energy Smart mode, simply turn the control knob to "High" and enjoy maximum heat.

Summary

The Honeywell baseboard heater takes up minimal ground space and offers 2 heaters in 1. Multiple safety features and an Energy Smart mode have earned this model various awards and recognitions.    

What Customers Love

    I was very pleased with how quickly I received my heater and well it works. I live in Northern Wisconsin in a small home heated by LP Gas. Since plugging in my Honeywell heater, the furnace has not kicked in! It completely heats my little livingroom and bedroom without a sound. I would recommend this product as it does everything it claims.

    Purchased this product because of its "Best Buy " rating. Unit was used in a normal room (200') yet never was able to adequately heat it. Fan does not convect at a high enough rate to evenly dispurse the heat.

      BEYOND EXPECTATIONS

      By Marjorie Kolchak

      from USA

      Verified Buyer

      Comments about Honeywell 2 in 1 Whole Room Baseboard Heater (HZ-817):

      The price was less than "the large shopping website" and item was delivered sooner than expected. I have a very large kitchen with living/diningroom/kitchen that has a tile floor and in no time the air and the couch feels comfortable after turning it on in the mornings. My other rooms have carpeting and I don't need to make them too warm.

      Broke after one month

      By Tom Ehresman

      from USA

      Verified Buyer

      Comments about Honeywell 2 in 1 Whole Room Baseboard Heater (HZ-817):

      I used this heater in my garage in the Los Angeles area. It did not heat the garage generally but worked well if it was placed at my feet. Heated only a very localized area.

      Today about 45 days after purchase (and using it for about a week) it stopped working. The orange lights come on but no heat.

      Even when working I can't imagine it would be very efffective in a colder environment.

      Obviously, I wouldn't recommend

      Heater works as expected

      By John E. Smith

      from USA

      Verified Buyer

      Comments about Honeywell 2 in 1 Whole Room Baseboard Heater (HZ-817):

      The heater is located in a four season sun room. I have been able to use the installed base board heat sparingly since I began using the Whole Room Baseboard Heater: yesterday AM the outside temperature was 6 degrees and the heater warmed the room to a pleasant temperature. Because of its low profile and size, it is hardly noticable and does not conflict with the furniture in the room. Also, I have noticed little, if any, increase in my utility expenses since I began using the product. I would recommend the product without hesitation.

      Great whole-room heater

      By Barbara Howard

      from USA

      Verified Buyer

      Comments about Honeywell 2 in 1 Whole Room Baseboard Heater (HZ-817):

      This a great heater. It's quite compact, keeps the temperature on the desired level and is very quiet. I bought it for a large room with high cathedral ceiling, so I was a little bit hesitant, but so far, it works great. I highly recommend it.

      Works well for a large bedroom

      By Sam

      from USA

      Comments about Honeywell 2 in 1 Whole Room Baseboard Heater (HZ-817):

      This heater works well to heat up my bedroom which is quite large. It does take a while to heat up the room but that is to be expected. The unit is very quiet.
