When seeking out energy efficient heaters, consider the effectiveness of the models considered. Most portable or space heaters draw the same amount of energy, converting 1500 watts into heat. The important thing to consider is the effectiveness of that heat. Most portable heaters are not really energy efficient heaters in that they have to be on a long time just to warm a small area. This is because they create a very intense heat that shoots up to the ceiling or escapes through windows and cracks.

Infrared units are truly energy efficient heaters as they generate infrared heat that conducts through the humidity in the air and penetrates into the objects and people in your home, keeping the heat where you need it. Heat Smart infrared heaters are thermostat controlled. You simply set the thermostat and the unit shuts off when the desired temperature is reached. This keeps you warm while the heater is only on when it needs to be.
