There is at least one other manufacturer of quartz home space heaters. We just ordered a Sun Twin which is a 1500 watt unit with oak Vanier cabinet. It retails for about $550 but we bought our for $450 on EBay. If there's any interest I can post after we use it some. We were deciding between the Sun Twin and a unit produced by Solar Cloud. The Solar Cloud heater used infrared bulbs instead of the quartz. As I researched I couldn't find much that would say the quartz is superior to the infrared. I did find that quartz heaters have a lot of industrial uses. Ralph

Why is it that this quartz infrared heating source uses less energy to >> create heat than other sources? >> >> A. Actually, there is more than one reason. One of the primary reasons is >> that heat at combustion level, which is what all other heat sources use, >> causes >> the heat to instantly rise to the ceiling. Therefore, the heat is not >> evenly >> distributed, causing a very inefficient and uncomfortable heat source. >> >> The EdenPURE Quartz Infrared Portable Heater does not use burning heat. >> Once >> the heat exchanger absorbs the infrared heat, it exhales the heat into >> the >> living area which is carried by the existing humidity in the air. This >> causes the heat to travel rapidly and evenly throughout a room. In actual >> studies, >> photos using infrared lighting demonstrated that the heat was almost >> perfectly even from floor-to-ceiling and wall-to-wall. The EdenPURE >> Quartz >> Infrared >> efficiency is based on the distribution of energized air, not on just fan >> movement. This heat is coined as "soft heat" due to how comfortable it >> is. >> >> Q. What are the other disadvantages of combustion heat sources? >> >> A. Heat sources that are above the burning level have many unhealthy side >> effects. One of these is that it creates dry, irritating indoor air. It >> also >> burns >> a great deal of oxygen in the air. If you remember, when you sit in front >> of >> a fireplace or a portable heater or close to a heat source, you will >> remember >> yawning. This is because you are not getting enough oxygen. >> >> This dry irritating heat and lack of oxygen dries out sinuses and mucus >> in >> the throat, and makes people susceptible to disease.

So you're saying that children or pets can come up to this unit and >> touch >> it and not be harmed? >> >> A. That is absolutely correct.

I also understand that the EdenPURE produces clean fresh air without >> furnace filters. How can it do that? >> >> A. A furnace generates a lot of dust due to the combustion.
