Infrared heater

So has anyone heard of an infrared heater that is suppose to but very energy efficient yet heat a room to a very comforatable temp? Suppose to use less power than a coffee pot? I seen this flier that was mangled said it was 379.00 BUT it was at the local convention center for only 1 day.
Is someone trying to peddle snake oils here or does someone own one of these?

Re: Infrared heater

I don't own an infrared heater, but they will work. The key to their efficiency is that they create infrared radiation which warms the people or objects in a room without warming the room. The effect is similar to standing in the sun on a cool day. The radiation from the sun warms you and makes it feel as if it is much warmer than the actual air temperature.

The main problem is that you have to be in an area which is exposed to the rays to feel the effect. Again, same as the sun..the sun could be shining, but if you are in the shade, where it's rays do not strike you, you will not be warmed.

But, if you want to feel warm in a specific room without warming the house, an infrared heater installed in that room will certainly be more efficient than heating the house.

If you want to find a heater of this type and more information about how they work, just enter Infrared Heaters in Google and you'll get dozens of suppliers.
