In Reply to: Infrared gas heaters? posted by kickinbull on December 16, 2016 at 19:07:44:
Been using radiant (infrared? not sure if that technology) them for 30+ years and will be with nothing else. In comparison to a Dearborn (Brand, once popular down here) space heater (where you see the raw blue flame illuminating grates behind it for radiation) of 30k BTU, I use a 15k BTU radiant and it will run you out of the area whereby the Dearborn wouldn't. The radiant heats things, not air per se, and heats things across the room which the Dearborn didn't. Then you had to vent the Dearborn . The radiant is said to be 95+ percent efficient (and I believe it) and requires no venting assuming your house has some fresh air at least periodically, like opening and closing outside access doors.
I mainly use an "Earth" brand wood stove to heat the majority of the living area, but on days when I haven't fired that up, or just not that cold, I use radiant heat there and in remote, non-bedrooms when in use. For bedrooms I use electric oil radiators which are safe.
I deliberately built my house with zone climates in mind so that when I am not using a room, I don't have to spend fuel money conditioning the air like I did in town with central air and heat and other problems associated with central distribution that I experienced.....yes I know you can close off the vent but there is more to it than that.

Today's Featured Article - The Fordson F Ignition System - by Anthony West. A fellow restorer contacted me earlier this year asking for some help and advice on a model F that he was restoring. He had over a period of months spent a fair amount of his hard earned cash on replacement parts for the old "trembler" ignition. Sadly though all his efforts seemed to be a waste of time and money as he still couldn''t get the temperamental old thing to run correctly!! If i said that this was a little frustrating for him that would be "conservative" in fact the problem had reduce
