I have had 2 econo-heaters in my house for 2 yrs. One is in my living room which really helps my furnace from kicking on all the time (because that is where my thermostat is located). The other one is in an 10 X 17 room with high ceilings. This room also attaches to a laundry room and garage with a crawl space underneath. I have found that it keeps both of these rooms comfortably warm. I think it makes a difference in the amount of draft that comes through your house. You also need to mount them on an inside wall away from windows and outside doors.

You don't necessarily "feel" the heat because there are no blowers, unless you are standing right next to them. They have made a tremendous difference in the cost to heat my house. I have natural gas. Prior to getting these I paid around $250-$275/mos. to heat my house in the winter. I live in Ohio right in the snow belt off Lake Erie. My electric bill was usually around $100.00. Now I pay approx. $120/mos for gas (also used for stove, water heater) and about $150/mos. for electric. That is a big savings to me and I keep the house at about 65 degrees.

Hope this helps someone.
