![]() If I have a leaking gas tank on my car, the cure isn't to add another non leaking tank as a "supplement ", but fix the one I have. Without that "safe to the touch" design, I would not be able to use any secondary heat source.Ĭlick to expand.If someone spent the money on sealing their ductwork for any leaks and making sure it was properly insulated, they would see a savings on their fuel bill. This style works for me mostly because it has a more child and pet safe design. I believe I am in a situation that greatly benefits from adding a seconday electric heat source. You do notice the heat across a 20' room much more quickly than any other electric space heater I had before (radiator style and blower heat cube style) So if you can keep your thermostat at a lower temperature, you can get fairly instant heat when you get into a room. I realize that yes, this heater is not really more efficient in terms of BTU's/$ than other electric space heaters. By this point if the costs are similiar, it is still better to move some of the costs to my monthly levelized electric rates vs paying for a full propane tank each month or 2. Per my propane tank guage, I am using less propane than previous weeks. Since running my CZ heater in the room next to my thermostat, the thermostat is certainly calling for less water circulation (rooms away from the CZ do get cooler than before) and I was able to set my boiler temperature at a lower 140 than the 150-160 min I used to need with the single digit lows we got over the weekend. My main heating source is a propane fired boiler delivered to baseboard hot water radiators, and have been paying an outrageous amount of $ to keep the fire in the boiler going. I just got a similiar "Comfort Zone" heater, and seem to be seing favorable results. (You might have a 97% efficient furnace but the average home's ductwork is more in the 70% efficient range in delivering the heat to the rooms.) There are the BTU's / Dollar the fuel theoretically contains, then you have to factor in the BTU loss getting the fuel to the room(s) that are needed. There are certainly several factors that effect energy savings. That's only heating that one room and the rest of the house would suffer. If they turned down their heat and the thing was always running it would be $164.00 / month. If they bumped it up to be on 50% of the time it could cost them 82.00 / month. No matter which of the 4 buttons are pressed, when it's calling for heat it's 1460 watts.īased on a one month analysis it will cost them about $60.00 / month to have the Eden Pure plugged in at the low setting. They don't have it on it's warmest setting and haven't noticed their main furnace running much less. ![]() Ignored the words (up to) before the percentage I guess. They were told by the info-mercial that they'd save 50% on their heating bill. My in-laws bought one of those hyped up heaters from Eden Pure. I'd like to thank Mickey for posting this thread that prompted me to buy one of these units.
