when using the in-furred heaters that Paul Harvey talks about, do they use allot of electricy?

Answer 1

lol. I think you mean Infra Red Heaters. Have you ever been to a motel where they have a timer switch on the bathroom wall that starts a bright orange colored bulb in the ceiling? The bulb heats up the bathroom in a hurry. This is infra red. Infra red bulbs are often used in fast food places to keep the food warm. The heaters that Paul Harvey talks about use enclosed infra red units to heat copper metal tubes or plates and fans blow over these plates into the room. Note: these heaters are designed to be used along with another heating system such as a central furnace. They are not designed to be your only source of heat. They simply take much of the load off your main heating unit allowing you to cut down the thermostat and reduce your heating bill.
