My mom is considering an EdenPURE quartz infrared
heater, to supplement her heating. She's POSITIVE
since she heard it on Paul Harvey that it's a good thing.
I'm trying to tell her that she might save 50 bucks on her
gas bill, but will probably spend 50 bucks more on her
electric bill.....all things equal, are these a good thing?
will she save money? If any of you have one, or heard of
someone who has one, I'll take any reasonable comments
on this...thank you

The reason that the EdenPure saves money on utility bills is that it's a space
heater. You turn the thermostat down, then use the space heater to warm the
room you're in at the time. You save money because the thermostat setting
is lower, so your furnace doesn't run as much. It's not magic. ANY space
heater will do the same thing -- and most of them cost far, far less than the
EdenPure.

Bottom line: it's just an overpriced space heater.
