Ouellet OVS1500BL Residential Wall Fan Heater 1500W 240/208V, White

The Ouellet OVS1500BL is a residential wall fan heater rated 1500 / 1125 W at 240 / 208 V, finished in white. In practical terms it is a fan-forced wall heater for rooms with no baseboard wall to give up - bathrooms, entries and hallways that need heat fast, in a footprint about the size of a sheet of paper.

TL;DR

• Output: 1500 / 1125 W at 240 / 208 V (5,120 / 3,840 BTU/h)
• Draw: about 6.2 A - size the circuit at 125% per CEC 8-104
• Finish: White
• Control: not included - needs a line-voltage thermostat
• Availability: in stock in Vaughan, ON. Ships Canada-wide, counter pickup available

Quick Specs

Best For

• Bathrooms and entries where floor and wall space is already committed
• Rooms that need to come up to temperature fast rather than hold a steady temperature
• Retrofits where furniture placement rules out a baseboard run
• Cottages and secondary suites used intermittently

Why Contractors Choose It

• Recovers a cold room far faster than convection - the fan moves heat immediately
• Occupies a single wall cavity instead of a whole wall run
• Available with a built-in thermostat, so no separate wall stat is needed
• Dual 240/208 V rating across the BL range

Choose the Right Model

Ouellet builds this series across the wattages and supply voltages Canadian buildings actually run. Match the part number to the service you have:

• OVS1500AM - almond
• OVS1250BL - 1250 / 937 W
• OVS1000BL - 1000 / 750 W
• OVS2000BL - 2000 / 1500 W
• OVS1000AM - 1000 / 750 W, almond
• OVS2000AM - 2000 / 1500 W, almond

Installation Notes

CEC Section 62 applies. Size the circuit at 125% of nameplate (CEC 8-104) and provide a disconnecting means within sight of the unit or lockable per CEC 62-108. Recessed models need the matching wall can roughed in before drywall; surface models mount to the finished wall.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Ordering the heater without the matching wall can on a recessed install
• Blocking the grille with a towel bar or a door swing
• Expecting silence - this is fan-forced; choose a convector if noise matters

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Ouellet OVS1500BL CSA certified for use in Canada?
Ouellet is a Quebec manufacturer and its heating products are built to Canadian standards and certified for the Canadian market. Confirm the certification mark and the ratings on the unit's own nameplate against your local amendments before you energize it.

Where does Maple Electric Supply ship this from?
From our own stock in Vaughan, Ontario. That means no cross-border wait, no duty and no surprise brokerage on a heater you need before the cold hits. Counter pickup is available, and we ship across Canada.

What does the 1500 / 1125 W rating on the OVS1500BL actually mean?
This unit is dual-rated. On a 240 V supply it delivers 1500 W. Put the same unit on a 208 V supply and output drops to about 1125 W - roughly 75%, because output falls with the square of the voltage. Order on the voltage the building actually has, not the one on the drawing.

What size breaker and wire does the OVS1500BL need?
The unit draws about 6.2 A at 240 V. Fixed electric heat is a continuous load, so CEC 8-104 sizes the conductor and the breaker at 125% of that - about 7.8 A. Your electrician sizes the final circuit against everything else on it; a 15 A 240 V circuit tops out at 2880 W of total connected heat.

How much heat is 1500 W in a real room?
5,120 / 3,840 BTU/h. As a working rule of thumb for an insulated Ontario room, budget roughly 10 W per square foot for a well-insulated space and closer to 15 W per square foot for a basement, a room over a garage or anything with a lot of glass. Send us the dimensions and we will size it properly.

Does the OVS1500BL include a thermostat?
No - this is the base unit and it needs a control. You can either run a line-voltage wall thermostat, or order the equivalent part number with a factory-installed thermostat built in. We stock both, plus the Ouellet stats that suit them.

Is this a recessed or a surface-mount heater?
Check the part number and the listing photo before you order - Ouellet builds both. A recessed unit needs the matching wall can roughed in before drywall; a surface unit mounts to a finished wall. Getting this wrong after the drywall is closed is an expensive mistake.

How loud is a fan-forced wall heater?
You will hear it. That is the trade: a fan moves heat into the room far faster than convection, at the cost of audible airflow. If the room needs silence - a bedroom, a recording space, a quiet office - choose a convector or a baseboard instead.

Can I get a price on a full job's worth?
Yes. Multi-unit and contractor pricing is available on Ouellet heating - send the schedule or the count and we will quote it. Most heating orders over a handful of units are priced by our counter team rather than at list.
