Brrrrr...., yup it is getting cold here in Kuna, Idaho. We have finished the harvest of the garden and have been grape juicing for the past three weeks. We are definitely good for the winter on grape juice. I still need to make applesauce.
So I have spent the last two weeks researching the infrared Heaters. Edenpur, Sunglow are a couple. It took me a week but I actually found two suppliers of the Sunglow here in our Valley. So I was actually able to test and touch. Only a $1.00 a day to operate, that I really liked. The one we finally ordered was from ebay and we are still waiting for it to get here. I am excitedly awaiting it arrival. Last year my highest heating bill was over $350. Ouch! Plus we had to fill the propane tank (gas fireplace) that was another $700. Big Ouch! So I am definitely on the hunt for more affordable heating. We have a newer electric heat pump, which works good but definitely costs alot to operate when it is cold. You can get the infrared heaters in different sizes. We are getting one that will heat a 1000 sq. ft. The supplier will also be getting the infrared heaters to use in fireplaces. I will be checking that one out as soon as it comes in at our local supplier. Thus we might be able to put a unit in the gas fireplace and the box heater out in the Shop. Just email me if you would like more of my personal information and experience with this type of heat source. Stay Warm!
