Hey everyone . This heater is equivalent of a 50000 btu heater . It will be good for an insulated area . I use it to heat my daughters house about 1800 sf. For 2 months 24 hrs a day . No fuel , no smell , less work . Please note, electric heaters have big fans to keep the heating coil cool . So the heat you will feel will not be hot but wait a half hour and the room will be noticeably warmer . I love this heater and would recommend it to everyone . Remember this is not and outdoor construction heater where you have huge heat loses . It is better suited for enclosed areas that have to heated without huge doors and massive heat loss .

I was hesitant to buy this because there weren’t a lot of reviews on it when I got it but it worked great. We were heating a 3200 sq ft house during February in North Idaho so we could mud and tape the drywall and it kept it around 60 degrees while it was turned up about halfway. There isn’t a temperature setting. Just a low to high dial so I don’t know what temperature it was supposed to be set to but it stayed around 60 in there. We had the walls insulated but not the ceiling and it still kept it warm.If you are heating an un-insulated space this probably wouldn’t work. I had this wired directly to the circuit panel and before we insulated and dry-walled you couldn’t really tell it was on except that the fan was running. BTW the fan always runs but heat doesn’t always come out so if you stand in front of it you might just feel air blowing. And it doesn’t put out heat the way a kerosene heater or forced air furnace does. It blows out heat that at best I would say feels warm, not hot. But if it’s running in your building long enough to warm the place up it will keep it warm.The only downside to this heater is the cost to run it. The electric bill for one month of this heater running was $400 higher than the previous month. But we were heating a large space and it was only a temporary heat source that is safe to run without ventilation.I would buy again but only for temporary construction heating. Not as a permanent main heat source.

I REALLY wanted to like this unit. I liked the size, and the portability of it. However, I could only run it at about 1/3 power or it would blow the breaker to my whole shop. Not just the 50 amp 220 line it was on, it tripped the 60 amp breaker in the main box at the house that feeds my detached shop. I have a 30×30 detached shop with 12 foot ceilings. It is “somewhat” insulated, but not great. If you had enough breaker to feed this thing, it would probably work great, but it’s going to eat you out of house an home for electricity. I sent it back and just bought a kerosene (indoor/outdoor rated) torpedo heater. It’s far more efficient. I was worried about having to constantly feed a torpedo heater, but they get pretty good “mileage” and provide way more heat for the money.

Heats up my gym in about 30 mins (set to max) to ~65 degrees. It cost me 1800 bucks to run a 220 to the garage tho, I needed a new sub-panel and everything (He’s fixing the outlet later, missing some parts). This is a review on the heater tho and dang the thing produces some serious quick heat!

Heater works well and is a good value however just after one year a switch went out on the heater. Easy fix so I called Dr. Infrared to order a new switch. 1) They didn’t get back to me in a week so I called again 2)They told me they don’t stock parts for specialty heater which apparently this is 3) I was told the only way I could gets parts for this “specialty” heater was if it was under warranty 4) Out of warranty = ZERO supportI found a switch that works with a little modification but generally a hassle considering there are only 3 serviceable parts on the heater and they can’t provide any direction as to where to get them if they don’t have them.

they displayed it with a 50 amp plug and socket …when it arrived it is actually an 80 amp heater … now either i return it or higher an elec. to install a box and hook up to handle it ,.,.

The media could not be loaded. Good Hot output. 50 amp or 60 amp not enough. I am using a main run 100 amp GE

Heater works great! Had to install a 70 amp breaker because the heater label says it’s a 62amp heater. Heats up my 1500SF shop in about 15 minutes. Can’t wait for the electric bill.

My shop is 1400 sq ft with 10′ ceilings. Started out at 39 degrees in the shop and was up to 74 degrees within a few hours. It does require a 80amp breaker for the 15000 watt model. It’s quiet and the heat output is exactly what I was looking for. I’m saying goodbye to propane heaters. So go for it…you won’t be disappointed.

Great deal

So I recieved the heater in 3 days. I bought a 50′ 4 guage so cord and installed on a 70amp breaker. This heater works great. Pretty quiet. Exactly what I was looking for. I ran it for 4 hours in my shop. As long as this heater last with no defects than I am extremely happy with my purchase. I read alot of reviews that were not great. But all based on people that purchased and did not realize what this heater requires for power requirements.

How ridiculous that this doesn’t even come with a power cord. Save your money cause you’ll need to know how to build a electrical cord for it. Then when you do get a cord built and set up right it doesn’t work.

Easy to assemble, wiring was more challenging, the grounding screw is small. You definitely need a 80 amp circuit breaker, it will trip a 50 right off and good wiring sold separately. Also you need the proper recepticle for the plug. If you have skills this is pretty easy, you don’t need an electrician. Puts out some heat, see video and warmed an 885 sq home in no time.

I thought it came with a power cord

I am writing to share the details of a great purchase. We bought this unit to provide an alternate heat source( while the gas line was being relocated) for a church building of about 2500 Square feet. The product was nice a quiet and did not cause a distraction from the worship services. It looks like something that belongs in a warehouse, but the quality build made up for that. The only thing that I would change would be the color. Black would have been easier on the eyes, but really that wasn’t a big deal. Make sure that you have a professional electrician do the installation. This is not something that can be safely self-installed. Make sure that you have enough power to run this, it does pull a lot of juice.
