Envi heater review after using entire winter. Is it really economical?

[@kathym6603]

Thank you Miami! I like knowing about heating options. This heater has lots of valuable features that you review which are valuable over and above common heaters that I have experimented with and know about. Happy winter!

[@MiamiCOIndiana]

Thanks Kathy. Hope you have a warm and happy winter also.

Appreciate the follow up video. Thank you very much.

[@MiamiCOIndiana]

No problem the Envi actually worked better than I anticipated.

My furnace died early fall last year. Instead of replacing it, I've been going to electric room by room since the cost of fuel oils has gone up big time here in upstate NY. Also room to room heat saves money too since you don't have to heat rooms that you're not in often. Thanks to your video, I'm going with a 1000 watt, 220 voilt version of this heater. It should save quite a bit of money over the old style electric wall mount heater that needs 4000 watts to put out the same heat.

[@MiamiCOIndiana]

I’ve never tried the 1000 unit let me know how it works out for you.

[@BrodieBr0]

@@MiamiCOIndiana Will do! I'll let my wife give it a grade since I'm a bear and love cold weather. haha

[@lowellirish]

Well, it also depends on what your outside temps are...I just ordered mine- a plug-in 1,000w for my 125sf room. I live in upstate N.H. where we get sub zero for most of the winter. Its Nov. 21st, and it was 9 degrees last night!! Typical...In Jan, we'll have 4 feet of snow and -22F to -35F most of the months of Jan-Feb-Mar

[@MiamiCOIndiana]

Very correct on the outside temperature being a major factor along with insulation and room size. Where I live it’s actually quite rare to dip below zero it does happen but not every winter. Typical winter weather here is 30’s in daytime and teens at night. With the 1000 watt model I would think you’d be good even in very cold weather heating only a 125 sq ft room. That heater is actually rated to heat up to 350 sq ft. You could help lots of viewers and myself if you would let us know the results after installing and using your Envi.

How has the heater worked for you? I just searched your channel and didn't see a video. Thanks

[@johnnydswing]

Great follow up video, thanks

[@MiamiCOIndiana]

Thank you appreciate it!

[@Ocrefrigeration91]

Would be interesting to see you put in a mini split in the living room pointed down the hall, (Mitsubishi H2i/Fijitsu/LGRED or Senville or even MRCool hyper heat) and see how it performs in winter, I had one back at my grandmas in NW Indiana and it kept the back room 73 when it was -7 out. It was the LGRED art cool 12K can heat at 100% at -5 and 78% at -22

[@MiamiCOIndiana]

Sounds like a great set up you explained. Problem I had was being able to heat that one room with the door closed is why I decided on the Envi heater. My heating cost are actually still fairly reasonable even though the rates have risen over the years quite a bit. Past few winters have also been fairly mild for the most part but we know in the Midwest it can get brutally cold mid winter.

[@AJ_Lyon46]

Definitely a battle between these and the 500/1000 watt broan flush mount heaters for the kids rooms. Thanks for the video

[@MiamiCOIndiana]

You’re welcome and thanks for watching

[@BlightedJosh]

I've used the 500w in Cape Cod to heat a 300 square ft room to 62+ degrees in winter. They work great

[@Margaret-bt9sd]

Your in Miami? I live in Ontario. Got the 500 ones last year Was good in the bathroom

[@MiamiCOIndiana]

Actually live in Indiana. Glad to know it worked for you!

[@PamelaFlasted]

you said you have a 100 yr old home, so have you put new wiring in? Just curious. House I want to use it in is 1962 home and don't want it to trip breaker, etc. Thanks

[@MiamiCOIndiana]

All my electrical system was “out of code” when I moved in thus breaker box all all wiring in entire house was updated to new standards. It is very important when using any heater that wiring and socket are all in good shape and up to current codes for safety reasons.

[@PamelaFlasted]

Thank you for information

[@AJ_Lyon46]

500 watts isn't going to do anything.

[@Jmgarrettosborn]

What would the temp be in the room with the heater off on a typical winter day? I am trying to understand what I need here in ohio winter

[@MiamiCOIndiana]

Can’t give you an exact number however if it was cold outside and I had that room sealed off from the rest of the house it would be quite chilly in that room say 40-50 degree range.

[@Dave-nm3xc]

I like how low profile it is.

[@MiamiCOIndiana]

Yes completely out of the way and looks nice also

[@olayinkaafolabi168]

Does it also cool the room?

[@MiamiCOIndiana]

It will not cool the room it is only a convection heater for heating.

[@caseybarry4327]

what model do you have ?

[@MiamiCOIndiana]

It’s a 3rd gen. Model is Le5012P. They do now have a “smart” model and a max 1000 version of the Envi heater available.

[@nickv4073]

Its perfect for a 10x10 room but they are worthless in a bigger room.

[@davidshields44]

You talked more about everything but the heater

[@MiamiCOIndiana]

Thanks for your opinion man

[@pefawa]

Barely puts out any heat at all..

[@MiamiCOIndiana]

Enough for small room all it is intended to be used for

[@davidshields44]

Get to the point please

[@MiamiCOIndiana]

Point is it works

[@Join0rDIE1776]

Your litterally destroying the whole concept of this heater… it’s designed to pull cold air from the ground, heat it and flow out the top.. and you have objects directly in front of the area meant to open to be pulling the cold air from the room to make it hot air…

[@MiamiCOIndiana]

The table I have in front of heater actually doesn’t block any airflow from coming in bottom of heater. I did have to mount my Envi a little higher than I wanted due to the tall baseboards in my house. Nonetheless it works like a charm in the room I have it in.
