Product Description
ECO-heaters are high efficiency wall mounted whole room heaters. The 24" by 24" panel is mounted away from the wall. As the panel heats up it draws cold air from the floor into the gap between the panel and the wall. The air is heated and rises into the room creating natural circulation of the warmed air without fans, blowers or potentially harmful air emissions found in oil and gas space heaters and forced hot air systems. They use only 400 watts of electricity, which is equivalent to the power consumed by four 100 watt light bulbs. This is less than 1/3 of the energy used by conventional 1,500 watt space heaters. Incredibly easy to install, ECO-heaters are UL listed and can heat a 120 square foot room, (depending on layout and construction materials). Almost every house has a cold spot, which can be eliminated by installing an ECO-heater. For maximum cost savings, you can run your central heating system at a minimum setting and use ECO-heaters in the rooms where you need them to achieve up to 50% savings in heating cost. In some climates you can even use eco-heaters as the sole source for heating your home as an alternative to a central heating system.

 too hot for children November 23, 2008

I was so excited when I got my eco-heater and after plugging it in I was very dissapointed. The surface gets way too hot -- too hot to be around children. I will mount it below my desk to get some extra heat in my office and where the kids don't have access. I wanted it for the living room -- my kids are young and curious and if they touch this for any length of time they will get burned. I do not recommend these for homes with curious children.

The product was easy to install as stated. It does take a little longer to heat a room but it does the job. Overall it is a good product....just waiting to see what the electric is to see if it is really efficient?

Works like a charm. Only downfall is no thermostat, so it is on or off. However you can purchase a plug-in thermostat.

I was really skeptical of this prodcut, but intrigued enough to purchase, and I'm quite pleased! My daughter's room is right above the garage, and gets quite cold, even though it's "properly" heated and insulated. We installed the eco-heater 2 weeks ago, and it's working great. It's essentially a ceramic tile with a heating element in it somehow, and it works great in her small room (about 10x10). I painted it, so it really looks like part of her wall, which is a big plus for me.
One suggestion that was mentioned by another reviewer is to use a thermostat. We're using one, and it's keeping the room a perfect 72 through the night.
Excellent, for what it is November 17, 2008

Based on many of the reviews here, we had purchased 4 of these heaters to supplement our expensive oil heating. I work from a small home office and so heating the whole house during the day was unnecessary. Instead we run the furnace once in the morning, and then once or twice at night, relying on these heaters to maintain the temperature.
We installed one of these heaters in an upstairs 10x10 office, another in an upstairs 10x10 bedroom, and the 2 others downstairs, shared between our living room and dining room (about 12 x 24 in total). They were easy to paint, but as we have old horsehair plaster walls, not all of them were easy to install; it took some creative work and a trip to Home Depot.
In the bedroom and office these work quite well. The bedroom is quite toasty, and after a few cold New England nights we've found that it has performed very well. Winter air is already dry, so we don't keep the heater on all night, but rather heat up the room before bed and then have it turn on at about 5am (we use appliance timers).
The office heater could only be located all the way on the other side of the room from where I work, but it does a good job of maintaining a temperature of around 60 - 70 degrees (and often warmer towards the afternoon).
The downstairs heaters have a much harder job, because the living/dining areas are open to other rooms (kitchen, foyer), but they do a decent job of supplementing the hot water heat (probably just a few degrees).
Surprisingly, our electric bill was only marginally higher, and far lower than running our A/C in the heat of summer.
Some notes:
- Yes, you can definitely burn yourself on the surface of this heater. It's not as hot as a red-hot space heater or a stove top, but it'll still leave a mark.
- Placement is really important, so read the safety/installation instructions and make sure that you have a sensible place to put one. ie: Avoid installing near doorways, windows and open entryways.
- If you have horsehair plaster walls like ours, you'd do best to line up one side of the heater with a stud, and then reinforce the other two screw holes before installing (I drilled out a 1/2" hole for each and then used multiple applications of spackling paste over a few days before drilling the final pilot holes).
- It's best to turn on the heaters about 2-3 hours before you plan to be in a room. We have all of them connected to appliance timers...and be sure to keep doors closed while the room heats up.
Hope this helps.
