ABSTRACT:
A heating assembly is provided for attachment to an existing ceiling fan to heat airflow being generated by the fan blades. The heating assembly is adapted to connect to the base of the ceiling fan directly below the blades by means of the centrally located mechanical attachment mechanism associated with the fan and conventionally provided to allow attachment of a light kit thereto. The heating assembly includes a vented housing enclosing on or more electrical filaments, heat tubes or other heating elements arranged to radiate heat outwardly of the vented housing into the airflow generated by the fan blades and electrically connected by electrical leads extending through the attachment mechanism to wiring extending from the ceiling fan, which is normally used for a light kit assembly. The heating apparatus may also include an on/off switch and thermostat control located on the fan or at a remote location.
