Most Air Heating Systems are designed as room heaters suited for individual or adjoining rooms. Very briefly, this is how it works: An electric powered fan or blower pulls air from the room through the collector and blows back heated air into the room. This is the simple wall mounted solar heater. For roof mounted designed to heat adjoining rooms, ducts to convey air must be installed. The electrically powered fan makes it an active solar air heater. In the passive type, air enters into the bottom of the collector, rises as it is heated and enters the room.

Although factory built collectors for on-site installation are available, do-it-yourselfers may choose to build and install their own air collectors.
