For an example of how the heater works, let’s say you set the temperature for 70 °F.
Does the blower cycle use much electricity? The blower fan will run for 60 seconds every 4 minutes to clear residual heat inside the chamber, while at the same time measuring the room temperature. This does not use much power to operate. Why does the blower fan keep running after I have pressed the power OFF button? The blower fan will continue to run until the heat chambers cool down. After a few minutes the fan will shut off automatically.
My home is not well insulated; will this heater help me? Yes, but it may take a little longer to heat the room. The outside temperature will also have an impact on heating time. Once the room has reached the desired temperature, it will cycle on and off accordingly. Can the heater be used in a bathroom? It is not recommended due to a bathroom’s high level of moisture.
What is the life expectancy for the heater? This heater uses one infrared tube (which is rated for 20,000 hours and up), and one PTC element (which is rated for 80,000 hours and up). What is zone heating? Zone heating focuses heat where people spend the most time. After all, there is no point in heating multiple rooms to +68 degrees when not in use. Can I use an extension cord, surge protector, or power strip with my heater? No. The DR.
