[QUOTE="ProDave, post: 342170, member: 6969"] As I understand it, IR heating works well in places like a church, that are cold most of the time, and you just want to provide some confort during a service without having to warm the whole building. I find them irritating to sit in front of, as they give out a lot of light as well as heat, like sitting in front of a spotlight all the time. For a house, I woudl think you will have big problems. The fabric of the house will be much colder than conventional heating meaning you are much more likely to have issues with condensation. At the end of the day, to keep a house warm requires a certan number of KWh of heat input. the only way to reduce cost is find a cheaper from of heat (which electricity is not) or improve the insulation so you need fewer KWh of heat.
