Feequently Asked Questions
The new advanced iHeater portable
heater can cut your heating bill in half. It’s affordable, easy to use, cleaner
air and advanced infrared technology.
The iHeater portable heater works on the
principle of infrared heat, the same way the sun heats the earth, to
give you a natural, comfortable heat.
It works like a convection oven, moving
the air around to give you a uniform heat. It draws air in through the
back, up and over the heating elements, and out the front. And since it draws in
air from the ground (where the air is the coldest) and circulates effectively
with two powerful fans, you will get a uniform warm blanket of air from floor to
ceiling.
The heat coming out is 120-125
degrees. And the heat is an even, safe (no carbon monoxide), and most
of all, very comfortable type of heat. The iHeater heating chamber incorporates
a cured copper panel for efficient heating by distribution of water molecules in
the air. Ionized water molecules distribute the heat more evenly in the room
than do the air molecules, which is why you eliminate most cold air pockets in a
room by using infrared heat. It is a warmer gentler heat that penetrates the
body more effectively than radiant heat.
Q Is the iHeater safe to
use?
A. Yes. The iHeater can be
placed against the wall or furniture without the risk of a fire. The iHeater
does not release any energy into the air that will burn or harm anyone. For that
reason the iHeater is safe for children and pets.
Q. Can the iHeater heat more rooms at
the same time?
A. Yes, if placed in a
central room and with the help of ceiling fans. It does depend on how open your
floor plan is, the sizes of the rooms, and how insulated the rooms are.
Q. How long does it take to heat a
room at first?
A. Less than an hour, but
also depends on the size of the room, how well the room is insulated, and
etc.
Q. Can these heaters be placed in
moist and damp areas?
A. It’s suggested not to
place the iHeater in those rooms due to the moisture.
Q. Can I use the heaters in a basement
or garage?
A. Yes, but because of the
bare concrete floor it absorbs some of the heat, so putting the heater a few
feet above the floor will allow for more efficient heating.
Q. Can you use more heaters at
once?
A. Yes, but each iHeater
should have its own circuit.
Q. Why is it that this quartz infrared
heating source uses less energy to create heat than other
sources?
A. The iHeater Infrared
Portable Heater doesn’t use burning heat. Once the heat exchanger takes in the
infrared heat, it releases the heat into the air which is carried by the
humidity in the air. This causes the heat to travel fast and equally throughout
a room. The iHeater Quartz Infrared Heater efficiency is based on the spreading
of energized air, not on just fan movement. This heat is coined as “soft heat”
because of how comfortable it is.
Q. What advantages does the infrared
quartz tube heating source have over other heating source
products?
A. In the iHeater system,
electricity is used to generate infrared light which then creates a very safe
heat. Infrared is the safest type of heat because it does not create carbon
monoxide or harmful radiation. Infrared heat doesn't get to a burning
temperature.
Q. What are the other disadvantages of
combustion heat sources?
A. Heat sources that get
above the burning level are unhealthy. It creates dry, irritating indoor air. It
also burns lots of oxygen in the air. This dry heat and lack of oxygen dries out
sinuses and mucus in the throat, and makes people vulnerable to diseases. Many
combustible heat sources produce carbon monoxide, static cling, and some produce
radiation.
Q. How can a person cut their heating
bill up to 50% with the iHeater?
A. It uses less energy to
create heat and will heat a room in minutes. You could turn the heat down and
the room with the iHeater will stay warm and comfortable. The iHeater is a
portable heater and when moved to another room, quickly heats that room.
Q. How can the iHeater produce clean
fresh air without furnace filters?
A. A furnace generates lots
of dust due to the combustion. Lowering the furnace temperature, you are using
your furnace less and reducing the requirement for the furnace filters. The
iHeater doesn’t create combustion.
Q. Can I move the heater around while
it’s on?
A. We suggest that you don’t
move the heater while on and wait until the heater fans have completely turned
off.
Q. Why does the Blower Fan keep
running after turned off?
A. It continues to run until
the heat chambers have cooled down. After a few minutes the fan shuts off
automatically.
Q. What is Zone
Heating?
A. Zone heating is about
focusing heat where people spend the most time. There is no point heating rooms
to 68+ degrees if they aren’t in use.
Q. Can the heater and other
appliances be used at the same time?
A. Yes, as long as they are
using different circuits. These heaters are considered to be an appliance. Do
not run more than one larger appliance on a single circuit breaker. Appliances
like your freezer, refrigerator, microwave oven, washing machine, dryer, and
other appliances should not share a circuit breaker.
Q. Can I use an extension cord, surge
protector, or power strip with my heater?
A. NO. The heaters are
designed to be plug directly into a grounded 100 volt 15 amp or higher circuit
receptacle. Do not use a cord adapter or remove the grounding plug. Removing any
part of the heater will void the warranty.
