Reply #2: Econoheat would be good to bring some heat to a poorly heated room... [View All]

...so that you don't have to crank up the central thermostat. The wall mounting design with convection behind it sounds well conceived. It is better than sticking the heater in a corner or somewhere where the heat will be blocked. It will be quiet and use a scant amount less electricity because there is no fan.

Now for some skepticism. That 425 watt unit will not heat you like the 1200 W space heaters they compare it to. It does not cost 1/3 the cost to operate.

This part is such B/S that we ought to turn the FTC on them:

2. Health
Central Heating systems (along with portable fan heaters) are dust, mold and allergen traps that wreak havoc on asthma and allergy sufferers. When the central heating fans turn on, these contaminants are propelled around the home or office, causing health problems. With careful placement, an entire home can have Econo-heaters placed in all - or certain - rooms, eliminating the need to turn on the central heating system. This will save your health as well as protect your pocket book.

Yes, it will not promote dust & allergens blowing around your house. But them saying it will protect your pocketbook is a lie. A heat pump or a gas heater would be more efficient.
