Review: This infrared heater takes the cake. - I had really been through it trying to find a 240 volt/ under 20 amp heater for a portion of my house. I'd tried a few garage heaters without success, till I got the Dr. Infrared Heater. This heater is, so far, a keeper. It does put out good heat and is surprisingly quiet, about as loud as a good box fan. So I can keep it on even while watching TV. Also, It has a very reliable thermostat with a knob for setting your temp. It also sports two heat settings, although the fan speed remains the same. So far, this winter, the heater is keeping my heating bill down by approx. $100 over the gas heater I also can use. But, I'm wanting to reduce my carbon footprint and this heater fits the bill.
Review: Worked well to get me through a New England winter! - Update #2 Second New England winter of use, still going strong, even on the coldest nights, high fan, 15-25% on thermostat, it doesn't run constantly, it cycles like it should, and keeps my 50' x13' garage in the low to mid 60s. Recommended for sure! Honestly, I have never have needed to set thermostat over 25-30% to maintain a comfortable garage temp. I read that 220V is much more efficient than 110, I believe it, my electric bill has not shocked me yet. Update, winter in New England........ Success! Garage is under house, so doesn't get get super cold down here even on the worst days, Brings temp from 50s to comfortable in no time. One of the only affordable 220V 20Amp heaters I could find, believe me I did the research! Won't blow you out of the room, just steady, consistant heat. Others complained about the noise, not bad at all, what the heck, you're using it in a green house or garage, who cares, plants won't lose any sleep. Give it a go. I like it, Just what I was looking for, since I had 220V 20Amp circuit already set up for compressor. I like running it on high temp, low thermostat with great results so far. It's over 10 feet away from my workbench, and I feel it immediately'

## Questions & Answers

**Q: how much would this run my bill up if I was to run it only overnight?**
A: Depends on how much you pay per kilowatt. Generally speaking, it cost about $1.25 to run for a period of 8 hours.

**Q: Is the heater safe to be used in a small greenhouse (5wx6lx6.6h) to be installed on the deck with outlets on the wall close to deck?**
A: I'm not sure.  My greenhouse is 8' x 8' and is out in my yard.  Heats that space fine.

**Q: Is it okay to put this on a timer?**
A: YES!  That is how we operate it.  It turns on at 10 pm to 8 am

**Q: Would this be safe for a chicken coop ?**
A: Should be, but unless very large coop, could be overkill.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works Great ...But Thermostat
*by T***G on November 20, 2023*

This is a nice little heater. I bought it for a very small space backyard greenhouse. I live on the western side of central Colorado. Not in the mountains but l can reach single digits sometimes in winter. I needed a 240 electric plug, which was the decisive factor in my purchase. Plus the infrared heat is so much better than heat coils. I've had it for a month and it keeps my 8X10 space heated consistently to mid-40s. The only problem is the thermostat. It just has a dial from low to high and a 3-speed fan. It does have an auto cutoff. I really wish that it had a more fine-tuned temperature adjustment. I would prefer to be able to regulate the temperature from 32 to 75 Degrees. Digital with Bluetooth control would be ideal, because no one wants to go outside at night to adjust it.
