Frequently Asked Questions
Below are answers to some of the most frequently asked questions regarding the ECO-heater.
What size room will the heater warm?
|
|
ECO-heater will heat an average room of about 120 square feet of floor area. This estimate will vary depending on the combinations of factors such as climate, room insulation, number of windows, floor coverings and ceiling height. You can add as many heaters as you like to heat any size room, home or office, turning the heaters into an inexpensive and economical heating system.
|
|
How economical is it to run the heater?
|
|
It is the most economical heater on the market today. Because the heater is of such a low wattage (only 400 Watts), the cost is approximately 3 1/2 cents per hour.
|
|
What type of heater is an ECO-heater?
|
|
A high efficiency convection heater.
|
|
How does the heater work and why is the heater so effective?
|
|
Unlike a central heating system or portable fan heaters that force air circulation, ECO-heaters use convection heating, which creates natural circulation of warm air within a room. An air gap is created when the heater is mounted to a wall. Cold air is drawn (inducted) into the air gap between the heater and the wall, then heated and rises out of the top of the heater. It is this natural convection technology that allows ECO-heaters to be more efficient, effective and safer than radiator, fan, ceramic, gas and other types of heaters.
|
|
Is the heater safe for my children, elderly guests or pets?
|
|
YES! The ECO-heater has no exposed elements and a safe surface temperature. However, an infant or baby should not be left unattended as prolonged contact with the surface may result in injury. Additionally, since the ECO-heater does not sit in the middle of the floor [it is wall mounted], it is not a trip hazard, either.
|
|
Does the heater provide a healthier living environment?
|
|
YES! ECO-heaters eliminate the usual dust disturbances that cause problems for allergy sufferers because a fan is not used to circulate the air. Additionally the air is not dried out because of the heater's low wattage and no exposed elements.
|
|
How do I install the heater?
|
|
ECO-heater can be installed In less than 10 minutes with the patented EASY INSTALL KIT.

|
|
Where should I install the heater?
|
|
For maximum efficiency, the ECO-heaters should be installed 6 to 8 inches off the floor.
|
|
Will the heater match my room décor?
|
|
Yes, ECO-heaters can be designed to blend in with any environment. You can paint them to match the exact color on your wall or contrast for decorative effects.
|
|
How reliable is the heater?
|
|
ECO-heaters are constructed in such a way that they can be left on indefinitely. The heating elements are completely encapsulated within the panel and not exposed to the air. This means that dust will not collect on the heating wires and eventually cause a burnout, as is the case with many other types of heaters. Additionally, ECO-heaters do not need a fan, which is a high failure item on other heaters that use a fan to blow hot air into a room.
|
|
How long will it take to heat my room?
|
|
It will take approximately 15 minutes to reach its maximum surface temperature and approximately 45 minutes to heat your room.
