Common questions
Per kilowatt the cost is identical because heat is heat. Infrared feels warmer faster because it heats objects not just air, so you can run it less and save energy.
Dr Heater units I compared have tip over and overheat shutoff and are rated for overnight use, but I still place them on bare floor and keep a clear three foot zone.
