In cold climates, they make nice localized heaters, and will probably cost less than what your electric furnace would have cost to run,
so the efforts to ban them is misguided. ( They're also used in other heating applications and as nice load resistors for electrical testing.) Hoyt Stearns Scottsdale, Arizona (where we don't need much heat, so I'm replacing everything with LEDs.) P.S. I toured the Boeing Everett Washington 747 plant years ago, and they told us that they didn't need any air heaters, the lamps (metal halide lamps in that case ) and equipment were enough to heat that 100 acre building.
