Has anyone ever seen a suncloud electric furnace? They look like big space heaters but are not (technicly). These heaters do have a heat exchanger and 4 375 watt infared light bulds as the heat source. They claim to save up to 50% of your energy bill. If you want to check them out and let me know what you think the web site is http://www.suncloud.com

"*REDUCED ENERGY CONSUMPTION: The Solar Comfort Heating System used 35% less energy than a conventional electric furnace/baseboard system, as proven in a utility's field test for a full heating season. Calculations show that the Solar Comfort will heat more efficiently than the Heat Pump. When compared with today's spiraling gas, propane, and fuel oil cost, the Solar Comfort Heating System provides even greater savings."

they look more like a big scam than a big space heater. They talk about all the benefits of radiant heat from the bulbs, but then they use the heat exhanger to turn the radiant heat into convective heat (forced air), so all the benefits are lost.

if your looking for a plug in space heater, get an oil filled filled electric radiator or baseboard for $30 at the hardware store. They are the most comfortable and safest space heaters you can buy
