The Grinch: Blast this Christmas music. It's joyful and triumphant Re: Eccopanel Heaters 2Jun 26, 2009 2:59 pm I am quite fond of those electric wall heaters that you can use outside, the ones that cast that red glow. They seem like an easier alternative to gas, especially as my alfresco has a ceiling above it and i don't want an outdoor gas heater to burn my home! I like the idea you can just plug them in and go rather than messing around with gas bottles. Has anyone used an outdoor electric heater? How have you gone with it? Re: Eccopanel Heaters 4Jun 27, 2009 3:06 am Don't know about the eco part, I just like them because they don't circulate dust etc. and cheaper to install than hydronic heating - probably does not work as well as hydronic though. I don't think I have seen the ouside panel heaters with the red glow? - sounds interesting! The Grinch: Blast this Christmas music.

These low output / low density heaters only work well in a particular set of circumstances. They are useful when the occupant remains in a fixed position for prolonged periods and the heater is placed close to them (e.g. working at a desk/workbench). Normal bar radiators waste their heat because they are so powerful and need to be placed at distance from the person using them. They heat other objects rather than just the user. The concept is extended to radiant floor heating where the low diffused heat is spread over a large area but in proximity to the occupants. http://www.energy.unsw.edu.au/HeaterTutorial.shtml The radiant heat supporter talk about heating people not buildings. The corollary is that the person needs to be where the heating is actually happening. |
