Many of us are using space heaters this winter in laundry rooms and guest spaces. I'll definately check this heater out .... I'm assuming it may be one of the most energy efficient heaters out there because I found it on energycircle. We want our guests to be warm, but not at extreme costs! We also have lots of blankets.

I think an electric space heater makes sense for zone heating, where you only heat certain rooms instead of the whole house. In my case, I leave my main electric heat on at a low setting, and heat my bedroom and guest bedroom with two CZ infrared brand infrared heaters. They were pretty pricey, but they claim 14% more efficiency than other heaters of the same wattage, owing to their special design and the infrared type of heat. I don't know if that's true, but I have really enjoyed them and consider them a good investment. zone heating dropped my power bill by about 15% (I heat only with electric). I think it depends on how you use a heater, but for most people I think zone heating is the answer for conservation.

I think its just so efficient, you know? Yeah. Space heaters are efficient with a capital F.
Investment is vital, though it does appear futile. It is good to see this heater will be checked out. It appears well checked. My zone heating power bill rose unbelievably. Yeah.
