Comfort Zone Vs EdenPure Infrared Heater Review

I am often asked which Infrared Heater is better, the Comfort Zone, or the EdenPure, and the answer is always a tricky one. Neither one completely blows the other out of the competition, but there are some minor differences between both units that deserve being mentioned.

The Comfort Zone Infrared Heater performs better than the EdenPure in the area of heat diffusion and operating life time. The Comfort Zone Infrared Heaters have a new heat diffuser made of stainless steel that is capable of producing 14% more heat than its competitors. Comfort Zones are also designed to last longer because of their unique infrared heating technology. It boasts up to a 20,000 hour life span before a replacement could be necessary. The EdenPure though, uses standard infrared bulbs that are only rated at a 5,000 hour operating lifetime.

A similarity that both the Comfort Zone and EdenPure share is the type of heat exchanger each unit has installed. They both use solid copper heater exchangers that enhance the absorption of infrared heat. This copper exchanger converts the infrared waves into a bandwidth of 9-10 microns through a process of copper ionization. This bandwidth is the optimum level for maximum heat absorption.

The Comfort Zone provides healthier heat. What this means is that Comfort Zone Infrared Heaters do not burn any oxygen, or affect humidity levels during operation. Most standard electric heaters can emit harmful byproducts and produce uncomfortable heat. The Comfort Zone though, provides a gentle type of heat that stays consistent from floor to ceiling.

Both units come with a fully functional remote and thermostat, and diffuse their heat with the help of an internal fan. Comfort Zone Infrared Heaters use a Dual DC fan system that is much quieter in comparison others. This is an important aspect of an appliance you will be operating in your home for an extended period of time.

In terms of pricing, the Comfort Zone comes out to be more expensive. The highest price Comfort Zones are approximately 400-500 dollars, while the most expensive EdenPures are in the 300-400 dollar price range. Both units however, share a similar price tag in their lower priced models of around 300-350 dollars.

In conclusion, both of these Infrared Heaters would make great additions to your home, but it is important to weigh the options and make an informed decision. The Comfort Zone , while offering slightly better functionality, comes at a slightly higher price. I have found that when purchasing an item such as this, it is important to look for the best quality product that you can comfortably afford. This decision will pay off in the long run in terms of maintenance fees and repairs.

Are Electric Infrared Patio Heaters Any Good?

There are a wide variety of types of patio heaters besides the traditional cone designs. Even then there are also a variety of types of fuel sources for each. One type of heater is the electric infrared patio heater. It offers some advantages that others do not.

Infrared heat tends to work a bit differently than other forms of heat. Infrared heat will head up the objects that it's pointed at. This means that if you are sitting within line of site of the heat source, you will start to feel warm. Others types of heaters will heat up all the air. In a patio setting infrared heat makes sense especially if you have lots of wind that would blow the warmed air away.

Infrared patio heaters can come on stands or can even be hung on the wall. Look for ones that have both options giving you the best of both worlds.

Since these types of heaters run on electricity there is no need to go out and buy fuel tanks or worry about gas leaks that other heaters can cause.

Certain models can even be used safely indoors but it's best to check and be completely sure it's made for home indoor use first.

The disadvantage of an outdoor infrared heater is that the heat won't be circular like with other patio heaters. It will have to be off to one side pointing the heat in one direction as opposed to going in all directions. Another disadvantage is that the bulbs at some point in time may have to be replaced. Many bulbs work for about 4000 hours which is the equivalent of two working years meaning the heater will probably wear out before needing a new bulb, but it's still a good idea to know where you can buy a replacement bulb.

If you are a builder, contractor, or a do-it-yourself person, you are probably considering options for green energy for heating applications. There are some green systems out there such as geothermal and hot water radiant heating, but they can be quite expensive with a complex installation. They are especially expensive if you only want to add heating to certain areas of a home or business.

Electric radiant infrared heat is a perfect solution for residential and commercial/industrial heating applications. If you want to add heating to an area in a warehouse or workstation to keep employees warm where they stand to do most of their tasks, a spot heating application using such a unit is a perfect choice. The unit would be a quartz tube radiant heater with a 60 degree reflective pattern mounted approximately 8 feet above the work area.

If you wanted to add heat to a home addition without buying a new larger furnace or inefficient baseboards a perfect solution would be a 1500 watt ceramic coated steel element made in a housing exclusively for residential use. Depending on the square footage of the addition or three-season room these units can be piggy-backed together and/or zoned on a thermostat or other power source. These units are a primary heat source for that space. No need to replace a perfectly good furnace or pay for additional tin work to run ducts between the walls.

What makes these units a green energy solution is that they do not consume natural gas. I understand that coal is consumed at the electric plant to generate the electricity that powers these units in the home. That is true. But that combustion occurs at a coal plant. Coal plants are undergoing constant regulation to be cleaner and more efficient.

There are also green technology power plants delivering clean power to homes and businesses. If those homes and businesses use electric radiant infrared technology you will have green power plants providing green energy to green heating technology.

Much like a furnace or HVAC system, these units are a capital improvement. Once installed the housings can last the lifetime of the structure and the elements can last 5 years, 10 years, even decades. These units are low maintenance; no moving parts, no air flow to kick up dust and dander, nothing to take apart and clean or service, just an occasional wipe down.

This type of heat is efficient in heating people first, objects second, and then the ambient air. Within minutes these units are at full power and anyone near them immediately feels the warmth. At the same time everything in the area of the unit begins to absorb the heat, and then re-radiate that heat which heats the ambient air in the room. And because the furniture, floor, and other objects are giving off absorbed warmth and energy, the recovery time to re-heat the room after a door or window has been opened is very short. This fast recovery saves energy, and energy cost money, so it is as much a money saver as it is a natural resource saver.

Heating Unit applications include:

Need to heat some work spaces to keep employees warm?
Need to melt snow and ice at your loading dock or around your facility?
Need to add illumination to that snow melt application?
Need to heat a foyer or entry way in your business?
Want to greet your employees or customers with great warmth as they enter your business?
Want to heat your deck or patio at your home or business?
Want to add heat to your shed, work space, or garage.

Know a senior citizen who is always cold and needs more heat?
Need to heat patients and keep them warm in a hospital, nursing home, or medical facility?
Got smokers? Need to heat the designated smoking area?
Do your customers smoke? Want to keep them happy when they smoke outside?
Need a heat barrier to protect from a draft?

These heating units can solve all of these issues without the energy expense of natural gas or oil.
