Removed a section in my camper where the entertainment area is and installed. Works great. Instead of propane furnace heat, I can use this kzbin.infoUgkxATHBlMJwipGgVWseuAFKvDQ_5R4_lywo to heat the camper as long as it's hooked up to shore power. Only thing I do not like is there does not seem to be a thermostat. I'm presuming it has a built-in one so it does not overheat. Really like all the other color options it has to offer.

@@bmwrulesforeternity5218 so you need to work on KWH so multiply the KW it draws by the time in hours. That gives you KWH usage. Now you need to multiply that by electricity cost per unit. Found on your bill to get its cost. Normally best to just work out it’s hourly rate so just take its KW rating and times it by the cost per unit of electricity for its hourly running cost

If check price. Electric cost double or more per hour to use. Most electric are 1000-2000w. If youre using more than one than your breaker might not beable to handle it. Guy is selling his product so he will have bias. His IR heater runs 500-$1000. The best bang for the buck is the standing $99 has heater that u can find everywhere.

Thanks . I purchased 3 Dr. Heat 120V heaters from Costco & returned them within 3 days. The tripod’s foot space took up too much real estate and it never heated up the area. I believe that a 220V system will work better but I’m always rearranging my yard for parties. With my 5 outdoor propane heaters and two propane fire pits I can bring a 30’X20’ area to 72-75 degrees. Around 10’-15’ the surrounding areas will be in the 60’s and further away will be in the high 40’s. I stow my stand up propane heaters at the side of my home and secure my gazebo during the rainy seasons. It takes a lot to cover up the yard and the portable propane heaters are the best option for me. I wish that I could have the 220v heaters but then it limits the changes I can do for entertainment. I treat my backyard like an outdoor stage that changes all the time. This is a ton of work and also this constant changes keeps the critters from moving in also. With 9 grandchildren I’m always finding things left where they shouldn’t be especially dropped snacks. With propane I can adjust its footprint but with electric heaters I have to limit where the party supplies are placed. I wish that I could have a larger area is also a reason why I haven’t installed a permanent electrical heating system. If I could safely install portable 220V systems I would be sold. This is a lot of information but it’s what I do to maximize my outdoor entertainment area. What do you do for families with active children? Is this incorporated into your design setup?

@@embersliving I’ll definitely check them out. I have also looked at your pellet heater. Two of my countless hobbies are woodworking and Gardening I have tons of spare wood from trees and clean lumber in which I cut to fit in my Costco BBQ(never BBQ’d in it) fire pit. This is the 1st version without the long stack. I never bolted in the ember screen but remove it whenever I have a large flame. I don’t mind the rusting of any of the outdoor fire pits because there’s no way one can prevent any metal unit from rusting especially when it is subject to extreme heat, rapid cooling and moisture. Not to forget the additives from fire logs, starting fluid, sap and moisture from the wood products. Lol even the ash and soot promotes metal corrosion. I might purchase an outdoor pellet heater. After the rainy season ends in California this will be another project for me. I’ll definitely look at your items soon. Thanks for all your great information on outdoor living.

Thanks for this video, I build a 26'x32' timber frame barn and used four, 5000 watt duel element heaters from infra tech to heat the loft of the barn. The barn is uninsulated and will remain that way to show off the beautiful eastern white pine woodwork. I'm extremely satisfied with the results. We are in southern Connecticut, I can raise the loft temperature at about 10 degrees in ten minutes with all of the heating elements on. After taking the chill out of the loft, I need to turn off the second elements or it just gets too hot underneath the heater. The cost to run this setup is basic math. In Connecticut we pay about .22 cents per kilowatt hour. A 5000 watt heater will use 5 kilowatts per hour so about $ 1.10 per hour per heater when using both elements. Infrared heat is weird, it heats you and your furnature versus the air in the space.

There are also infrared heaters powered by natural gas, not electricity. They run on 120 and about .7 amps. As he notes in the video, the electric infrareds that he has are 240V. In addition, EACH unit takes about 14-20 amps. They are AWESOME units. Don’t get me wrong. But if your house needs to upgrade its electric service to accommodate 240 and 14-20 amps per unit, it will cost a FORTUNE. We are about to install two 5,000-watt infrareds that run on natural gas to heat our mostly-enclosed outdoor grill space area in Michigan that is about 150 square feet. The cost of the heater units are about the same as the electric models, but installation is going to be a FRACTION of the cost.

Not a expert, but a sliding door would probably be tempered glass, so thermal shock of breaking the glass is low (make sure I'm correct by looking up thermal shock of the different glass types). After that just make sure your following the install guidelines of the heater manufacturer for set back distance to objects in the heating path of the heater. Should be good if you just make sure those two things are accounted for.

My husband and I have an outdoor Patio (not attach to the house) It's further away in our backyard. Has no electric. Has roof. Has 2 walls and 2 openings. Had no inspection done since my husband did not install electric wiring to this Patio. During this time, this kind of heater would work. I've done some research and that's how I came to this video. You had explained it very well in details. From 48 to 71 degrees? That's amazing. I think I can convince my husband to buy electric heaters but there may be a problem. Now we may have to pay a fee to have an inspector come out to give us "ok" to go ahead to get the electricity install at the Patio. I am not sure if that can work. The Patio is a little far from the house and we had built raised brick garden beds in between. Again, thanks for your video. I will click the Links below and do more exploring.

I think you got that backwards, infrared heaters work best when there is a breeze. Its not heating the air, its heating the objects in the space, which includes people under them. There are gas infrared heaters as well, so this isn't a electric vs gas, just that infrared is the best heat in outdoor windy conditions. I'm no expert, but this is what ive always known and if infrared isn't the best in windy conditions, then tell me what type of heat would be?

Hello. We are buying one of these heaters and having it installed. WE have LeD lights installed on the beams similar to how yours are installed but the string is not hanging but rather each light is secured into the beam. It was recommended that we remove the lights from the one beam so that the heater can be installed there. I see that you still have your lights installed on the beam where the heater is . Does the gapping allow for enough space from the heater to make this a safe option I'd consider gapping my lights on the one end instead of figuring out how to we work or reinstall them.

I had a question and see someone else touched on it. Why are electric infrared heaters better than gas unless the patio is completely covered? Isn't the infrared the same in electric and gas so that both heat objects and not air? I would think that a pergola would lose heat from convection the same for the electric and gas. I don't have either, so please forgive me if this is a dumb question.

no your question makes sense. I personally do not have experience with any gas heaters that work well. The ones we carry are bromic gas heaters, and I do not recommend them in an open setting. But yes in theory they should be as good. But I haven't found that to be the case.

Hi Sir, we live in South Texas and it only get cold from mid Dec and Jan sometimes in February. I love this concept of infra heaters. We have a 9' x 16' pergola patio. Well I measured the beam only so your device can mount on to. Can you advice us on what series would be beneficial to our needs? I was thinking three of the WD-40 series. Can you tell if this should good enough. We basically need it for our Thanksgiving and Christmas parties. And we want it to look just yours mounted and all.

I really like the fire pit just for looks alone. However, I'm shocked to see that you have it on a covered patio blazing away like an inferno. All of the fire pits and patio gas heaters I've looked at say they cannot be used on a covered patio (fire risk). Does that one say it can be used like you are using it, or are you going with an off label use there?

Wondering about two spaces that we have that are both open on the sides but have full coverage. First is our deck open on three sides 4th side is our house. Lots of cold and wind. Currently 27 degrees. 12’x22’ full solid roof. The roof is 10.5ft high with framing thats drops down to 9ft on two sides. I’ve precisely been wanting to get this and even paid to run a gas line for our fire pit but it doesn’t come close to doing what we want in the cold mountain air. We are currently building a 35x25 large outdoor dining and living area in the back yard. Roof will be solid not a pergola. Also 2 sides will be enclosed for privacy and other two sides won’t be. One of the enclosed sides will have an outdoor gas fireplace with chimney. I want it to be usable in the cold mountain air when it drops to the 20’s and 30’s. This space will be 12ft high ceiling and have framing that drops down to 10ft to trap heat with heaters. Any way to achieve 60 or 70 in that kind of cold? Have also thought about screening in heat in winter somehow to make it usable when it’s cold. Just looking for solutions when it’s cold or windy here.

Electric can be more practical because ideally you need infra red radiating towards you from 2 directions or more, meaning you need 2 bulky gas heaters which require more overhead clearance. Gas heaters still have their place, as depending on local energy pricing it's takes a crap load of electricity to get the heat output of a 40mj gas heater, about 7 or 8 kw of electric to match a 5 tile ceramic gas heater.

Good perspective. Fair point on the cost to run them. Couple of hours a night isn't much and consumption is based on wattage and what you pay for electricity. Looks like for that 10x20 space you have four heaters (two on the long edge pointing in, and one longer one on each end? But which ones? - Maybe two WD-50's on the long edge and a WD-60 on each end? Even four WD-40's would be 16KW? almost 75Amps total? Could you elaborate in the description? Would be good to know total ballpark cost of install, including the heaters themselves.

I did call this morning and I thought they would have called me back, to at least say they're not interested to selling product to me in my state. Being left hanging is perhaps the worst customer service a consumer could experience. My search continues.
