Efficient Heating Tips

Try different placements of the heater to see hat orks
best for your area/room.
Avoid placing the heater in drafty areas or near air filtration
systems as the arm air ill be exhausted quickly. Close
the cold air return to prevent the heat being dra n a ay.
Seal drafty cracks around indo s or doors to help insulate
the room from drafts.
For more efficient heating place the heater near a armer
inside all and direct the arm air output to ards a cooler
outside all.
Due to the humidity feature, a soft heat is created resulting
an evenly heated atmosphere that makes lo er temperature
feel armer - 68 degrees feel like 72 degrees.
In rooms ith large areas of bare concrete, place the heater
a foot or so above the floor. Make sure the heater is in a
secure spot so it on’t fall. Bare concrete ill tend to suck
up the heat.
Save on heating bills. Why heat rooms to 68 or more
degrees hen they are not in use? Try lo ering your central
heating system temperature. Use the EcoSunTec Infrared
Moist Air Purifying Space Heater here you are spending
your time.
In larger areas, place the heater in a central location. Use a
ceiling fan in the reverse mode to move the air against the
alls and do n ard - helps distribute the heat more evenly.
