Ed: I just bought an infrared heater to heat a three-seasons room. Mine's a Suncloud, not quartz. It has four 675 watt (I think) infrared bulbs mounted below a heat exchanger with a small fan. Since the thing draws 1,500 watts, it's only rated at like 5,300 BTUs or so, but the manufacturer claims that the combination of the "special" heat exchanger and the fact that it's infrared cause it to deliver that amount of heat very efficiently.
We had the thing on last evening, and we got down to just about freezing. It kept the room very comfortable at that temperature, and didn't run continuously. I don't know how it'll do when it's zero, but it's a lot better than either the fan-forced heater I have or the oil-filled one we used last year, which incidentally died right at the end of the season despite being new. The only bad thing about this is the cost. I paid like $530.00 for the thing. The unit I bought and the bulbs are guaranteed for three years. Anybody know if you can use a light probe to check infrared bulbs? Good luck Ed. comes in a furniture-grade cabinet, Bill Stephan Kansas City, MO (816)803-2469 William Stephan -----Original Message----- From: "Edward Przybylek"<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: 10/13/06 1:29:02 PM To: "BlindHandyManList"<[email protected]> Subject: [BlindHandyMan] Quartz Infrared Heaters Hi all, I've been looking at quartz infrared heaters to help supplement my home heating this winter. The paticular unit I've been looking at is called the EdenPure. Supposedly the larger unit will heat 1000 square feet. Has anyone had any experience with this type of heater and if so, what did/do you think of it? Thanks.
