Changing power rating of a fan heater

Hi everyone,

Im just wondering if you know any place in Doha where I can change the power rating of a fan heater that I just brought from US (due to nil stock in Qatar in any place of any kind of heater). I did not realize on the power requirements when I purchased and now, of course, I cannot use it until I change its rating! I have been tip that in Mushreib they should be able to do it, but shall I check also in Al Saad area?

Thank you very much :-)

The heater is rated at 1500W, but I just feel that buying a convertor for such a small appliance might be a lot. The convertor is huge and going through the forum I found out that the quality of convertors that are sold here, in Qatar, is not the best! That's why I'm wondering if in Mushreib or Al Saad can do that for me and of course not at a huge price...come on in Morocco, where I used to live before they would change that small piece for $4!! Thank you nafeels for your tip

try to look for 110V to 220V convertor, thats all u need. but i should be designed for 2000W or over as heaters normally are around this load, electronic stores should be able to help
