A wall mounted electric room heater includes a wall box adapted to be secured between a pair of wall studs and having an open front and side walls extending from a back wall. A heater/blower assembly carried by a frame is disposed in the box and includes and electric resistance heating element mounted in a venturi having an inlet spaced from the back wall and an outlet communicating with the open front. A fan is mounted within the venturi for drawing air from the room through the open front into the wall box outside the venturi to the venturi inlet for flow through the venturi over the heating element to be heated and discharge from the venturi outlet and through the open front into the room. An air straightener as installed on the venturi downstream of the fan for causing the heated air to discharge from the venturi outlet in substantially axial direction to prevent the heated air from being entrained with the room air being drawn into the wall box by the fan. A louvered grill overlies the open front of the box and the air straightener. A partition carried by the frame cooperates with the back and side walls of the box to define a wiring compartment.
