Quartz Space Heater
Hi. a couple of months ago, in one of the newsgroups, I read about a very
popular quartz heater but I can no longer find the thread. I need to replace the space heater in the living room and would like to find a reference to the quartz heater many people liked. Also recommendations for other heaters are welcome. |

I need to replace the space heater in the living room and would like to find a reference to the quartz heater many people liked. Also recommendations for other heaters are welcome. The make/brand is irrelevant. They all work the same way. You might as well ask if a GE lightbulb is better than Philips or Osram. Build quality may differ though. See my earlier answer in another group. I'd advise you get one with say 3 bars so as to provide flexibility with the heat setting though. Graham |

When I am walking around it is a comfortable temperature. But when I sit down, I start to feel a little cold. Solution: a 150W halogen lamp with reflector pointed in my direction. 150W is not that much power, but you have to compare it to your body heating power (about 100-200W), so if you could deliver that power to heat yourself and not the walls of your house ... :-) R.L.Deboni |

"Mike Hartigan" wrote in message .net... If you have a refrigerator that consumes 500 watts of electricity and it runs continuously, it's producing exactly the same amount of heat as five 100 watt light bulbs. Not sure that is 100% true. There is lots of waste heat, but the refrigeration system is expending energy pumping heat out of the refrigerated area, just so it can gradually be absorbed back from your heated home. At the end of the day, does all of the energy that the refrigerator uses really show up as waste heat in the room? My head hurts. Vaughn |

I need to replace the space heater in the living room and would like to find a reference to the quartz heater many people liked. Also recommendations for other heaters are welcome. What's wrong with the regular heating system? It heats the whole 3000 sq.ft. house instead of the 250 sq.ft. bedroom. But what's regular? Fuel type... Gas, Oil, Electric, Kerosene, Waste Oil, Wood, Corn, Wood pellets??? What type of heat? Forced Air, Hydronic, Heat Pump (Geo or Air source), Radiant, Convection, etc??? Which is regular? Regular is like saying NORMAL. What's normal? |
