It's an expensive space heater ($300-400), but it sounds like fair what I need. I don't want to get hosed on this!
I have cats and Sugar Gliders in a drafty race in the middle of the high desert where it gets very wintry. The Sugar Gliders need a constant temperature of about 70 degrees or so. Gas ardour is way too expensive. The house has base board heating built in underneath DRAFTY windows which has prooved inaffective, and we have tackle up against them anyways. I have a space heater working full time morality now, which seems okay for now, but the cats are bound to knock it over and the last id I need is a fire! Arg!
If you haven't heard of that Eden Uninfected heater, what other alternatives can you guys suggest?
Wow, seems like a lot of shekels for very few BTU’s, the larger of the two units is only 5000 BTU’s. The electrical use Amp draw and such are mysteriously left out. And, what is the dangerous emission that they speak about with other heat sources. Someone must have some spent atomic fuel rods in there basement for heat or something; they definitely need to be careful with that dangerous radiation. If you haven’t guessed already, I’m rather partisan to gas since it’s my livelihood. I do however thank Paul Harvey on another bring on for sending me a lot of business a few years back. Seems he was really advertising the benefits of these hypoallergenic furnace filters that would uncommonly make your home a much cleaner environment. The only hornet's nest with them was that they were so thick that they would starve your furnace for air. I replaced many furnace blower motors, as well as a few unmitigated furnaces. It’s pretty sad that so many people ended up buying an overpriced furnace sift thinking is was going to clean the air in their home and it ended up costing them much more than they ever dreamed. I like Paul, but I'm truly starting to question (after reading about this product ) many of the things that he recomends to people.
. You surely should contact a full service propane provider no more than to discuss some options that you may have with propane heat.
If you do buy one, I fancy you have good luck with it.

can someone tell me about their Eden Pure quartz infrared portable heater?
Oct 31, 2008 by Raymond K OFFICIAL | Posted in Other - Electronics
I'm bearing in mind purchasing one & would like to know if anybody on here owns one & what they propose b assess of it as well as any info they can tell me about it.
Is this the overpriced hypnotic heater that will heat your house and save you a million dollars on your heating bills?
I don't buy it.
Moving heaters take electrical power and turn it into excitement. 1kwhr (kilowatt hour) turns into 3412btu (british thermal units). Sometimes quoted as 3413btu depending on who you ask but I'm splitting hairs.
ANY charged heater will deliver this same amount of efficiency, whether it is a cheapie $20 "milkhouse" heater from Wal-Mart or some $500 tense heater.
If it plugs into a household receptacle, the most it is going to depict is 1500 watts (12 amps at 125 volts but realistically you possibly wont have any more than 120 volts, possibly less, at the heater due to waste in the wiring so 1400 watts or so is about it but I'm splitting hairs again). This isn't common to keep any house warm if it is snowing outside. When it comes to exciting heaters, "Run away as quickly as you can" if they say anything to the effect that their heater is more operative. 1500 watts is 5118 btu no matter what amicable of heater it is.
The primary difference in heaters is going to be how they ransom the heat into the room. The units with a blower will agitation the air (just like your blow-dryer) and clout it into the room. You don't want it to blow quickly because it would caress like a cool draft unless you are close up to the heater. Other types are "radiant heaters" which have a heated exterior that radiates heat, a common version is an oil-filled radiator.
Cover is an important consideration when using an electric heater. I like the oil-filled radiator types (I've got on in my thing and another at home in the bathroom) because they keep the room warm but don't get hot enough to ignite you or start a fire. The types with fans will overheat if the fan goes bad (I've had that come about) but they have a thermostat to turn them off if they overheat. There is also the danger of them tipping over which will blot out the air flow and cause them to overheat, some will have a switch that cuts off the stir when tipped. There are some units which have the heating unit enclosed and use a blower to get the animate out, these are probably safer (especially if you have kids) since you can't get to the hot parts but wont put any more stir into the room than any other type.
Also, consider the electrical wiring in your impress upon. A 1500 watt electric heater will (by itself) take up most of the capacity of the perimeter. If you have much other stuff plugged into the same circuit, the fuse will exaggerate or the breaker will trip. The heater will draw about 12 amps, most residential circuits are fused at 15 amps, sometimes 20 amps, so there isn't prevailing to be much capacity left for other things. This is especially substantial in older houses where one circuit may be feeding power to 2 or 3 rooms.

Could someone give me info on the EdenPure Quartz Infrared Portable Heater. Does it really save you money?

They demand that it saves up to 50% on the heating bill.
NO it does not; I bought two as I believed their advertising BS. Put 1 each in key living areas and turned down dominant heating thermostat to 65 F. for rest of 2000 sq ft firm. My electrical bill kwh was unchanged. Save your money, I foist I did.

how much electricity does the EdenPURE™ Quartz Infrared Portable Heater use?
Oct 18, 2006 by SexyArmyWife | Posted in Maintenance & Repairs
my grandmother needs something to mitigate with her oil cost, and doesn't want her not burdensome bill to go up with this.
Electrifying heat typically costs more per BTU than oil or other sources of intensity.
Adding electric heat to supplement hot up in a small area may be worthwhile, but would be counter worthwhile for the whole house.

What are the pros and cons of infrared quartz heaters using copper heat exchange? Also, is $300 a too much $$$
Nov 06, 2006 by ffrankon1 | Posted in Engineering
I like the concept of heating only the range being used. I have a space heater but am not satisfied with it's doing. I've read promotional litearture on the quartz infrared little heaters and I like what I hear. It sounds like justified what I'm looking for. Any information, pro or con would be greatly appreciated
Does the "promotional litearture" keep you worked up? Try burning it, that might produce some heat.
$300 is too much, you need that loaded to pay your heating bill. Anyway, I seriously doubt quartz is any more efficient than a tight-fisted space-heater. They're both 100% efficient at converting ardour into heat. To improve on that you need a "stimulate pump".
Those are just an air-conditioners that are turned around, so that rather than of pumping heat out in the summer, they pump zealousness inward in the winter. To use one you need a source of excitement that is above 40-50 deg.F, such as well water.
You can als:
dress more warmly
assail up the thermostat
get another space heater
add insulation to your house

Now that cold, winter weather is here, Islanders are looking at different ways of heating their homes to save money on the soaring price of home heating oil. And infrared heaters may be the way to go. They're a different kind of heater,
