infrared heaters

Hello and thank you for checking out our Bear Heaters review,

If you have been looking for an infrared heater you may have heard about the latest brand of infrared heaters by Bear Heaters. After researching and comparing the top brands on the market we nominated Bear Heaters as the best deal on the market of the 2011-2012 season and here’s why…

Great Customer Service & Fast FREE Shipping:

Since we ordered online through their website, which was quick and easy, we didn’t really have to deal with anyone. After I sent the order I did call their toll free number and a friendly sounding lady answered the phone. She answered all the questions I had, told me they would send out the heater right away, and we ended the call. It took five days to get our heater in the mail, which I thought was rather impressive for them shipping it that fast for free.

Our First Impression of Bear Heater Infrared heaters:

Upon receiving the Bear Heater, we were impressed with the quality of its solid construction. The cabinet itself is made of (A-1) furniture grade plywood with a wood veneer finish giving the infrared heater a high end look (looks great in any room). The Bear heater has a digital thermostat ranging from 50F-90F and a remote control so you can adjust the heat setting without having to get up from where you are to raise or lower the heat level to your comfort zone. The unit itself has wheels on it for easy mobility so you or even your kids can move it around from room to room with no problems. (My 4 year old son/curtain monkey can push it across the living room carpet easily)

Performance/Our experience of the Bear Infrared Heater:

Just like other quality infrared heaters, Bear Heaters can easily heat up a well insulated 1000 square foot room within a few minutes as well as efficiently maintain a comfortable room temperature without having to have your furnace or baseboard heat running nonstop. After turning on the Bear Heater it took approx 15 – 20 minutes to substantially notice it working in a 400 sqft room. This is pretty common when it comes to using infrared heaters since you are not JUST heating up the air in the room and circulating it around, you are actually heating up the room (floor & walls), yourself, and objects in the room with infrared rays. Bear infrared heaters also have a powerful quiet scroll fan that they include in their design to help capture the heat produced by the heater and distribute it evenly throughout the room you are in. Also while running the Bear Heater for an hour the outside of the unit was warm to the touch but not too HOT that it would burn someone or start anything on fire, which makes it safe to have around pets or children.

Safety Features of Bear Infrared Heaters:

Bear infrared heaters are dual insulated so they stay cool to the touch no matter how long they run. They also have an overheat & tip-over auto shut-off sensor that will tell the heater to shut off immediately if for any reason it gets too hot or ends up getting flipped over. All Bear infrared heaters are ETL certified to ensure they are built to the highest safety standards.

30 Day 100% Satisfaction Money-Back Guarantee & 3 Year Warranty:

If you are not completely happy with your Bear Infrared Heater in the first 30 days of using it you can send it back and not have to pay any BS restocking fees. I also like the fact they stand behind their product for 3 years because it allows you to easily make your money back in savings while knowing if anything happens for any reason they will fix or replace the unit for free of charge in that time frame.

Cost/Price:

Bear Heater’s infrared heaters are only $197 – $269 depending on what kind of sale they have going on (plus free shipping) compared to the $279-$600+ price of competing brands and that’s not including their shipping costs. Bear Heaters come factory direct so there isn’t a bunch of middle men driving up retail costs.

Our Conclusion

If you are looking for an affordable Infrared heater that gets the job done, looks good, and is backed by a 3 year warranty we highly recommend checking out Bear Heaters.

How much can you save using Infrared heaters to heat your home?

How much can you save using Infrared heaters to heat your home?

Ok, I’d like to clear a few things up before we go over this. I’m sure if you have been shopping around for infrared heaters you have seen those “slick willy” advertisements that say something like this “Cut your heating bills by 50%, just buy our heater NOW and plug it in and start saving today!OMG!!!”, lol. I shake my head every time I see those ads, don’t fall for that bs.

To set the record straight, infrared heaters themselves are not solely responsible for saving you money on your heating bill, they are just a tool. The act of “zone” heating your home while using a more efficient heating source than your furnace or baseboard heat to heat the main rooms you use the most vs paying to fully heat your entire home’s unused areas like the basement or additional rooms is what is actually saving you on your heating bill.

A better example of “zone” heating is instead of keeping your thermostat set at 70F-75F(or whatever your comfort level is) all winter long heating up the used and unused areas of your home, people instead keep their thermostat turned down to the 50’s – 60’s while using an infrared heater or a space heater of some type to maintain the areas they are most often using to their comfort level. By doing this you save on the energy consumption you would have used to keep your whole house heated at the 70F-75F vs the difference in energy cost of what it takes to maintain your home heated at the 50F – 60F plus the minimal cost of running an infrared heater to heat the high traffic areas of your home to the 70F-75F you want.

For those of you who speak in math equations :)

Cost to heat whole house at 70F to 75F  –  (Cost to heat whole house in the 50’s or 60’s + Cost to heat main areas of use at 70F to 75F with an infrared heater) = Savings

You may be thinking “I can do this with a regular $50 electric heater I can pick up on clearance”, and you would be right. However, that $50 heater wouldn’t be near as efficient (you wouldn’t save as much $) as a good quality electric infrared heater since infrared heaters require far less energy to produce large amounts of heat compared to the typical electric convection heater.

So back to the original question, how much can you save using Infrared heaters to heat your home? The answer is, there is no definite answer. How much you save will determine on how you use your infrared heater, the size of the area you are heating, what kind of heat you are currently using (propane, electric, fuel), and how well insulated the area you are trying to heat is. All I can say is, for us, using our infrared heaters for zone heating (we use two for our main level) we save $400-$600/year on heating costs depending on how cold the winters get here in North Dakota. I know a few friends and family members of mine save anywhere from $200-$300/year up to $500 -$700/year zone heating their homes with infrared heaters.

Needless to say, its easy to see the reason why infrared heaters are getting so popular due to the amount of money they can save you. $500-$600/yr may not sound like HUGE savings but in today’s economy every little bit helps.

 

I hope this information helps better clarify how you can save $$$ on your heating bill by using an infrared heater to zone heat your home.

Thanks for reading our blog,
