The answer to the blower/fan seems to say this unit does not have infrared heat, only electric with a blower/fan. Is this not an infrared heater?

I've had this for a little while, and and I'm not sure about the infrared heater part. It does have two settings for heat. I have it in our bedroom and it heats it up nicely even on the lower setting. so far, we have been happy with it.

Infrared heaters have copper tubes that collect the infrared heat, the blower fan circulated the heat .

This housing don't have a heater/blower. The following housing have heater/blower, please check the link, http://www.amazon.com/Outdoor-Weatherproof-Security-Surveillance-Enclosure/dp/B0013I3582/ref=sr_1_2?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1370760294&sr=1-2&keywords=security+camera+housing+with+heater%2Fblower

No. It's sold or made by 'Mr. Heater', but it actually not a heater. Its just a ceiling fan/ light.

I never actually received it so I am not entirely sure but it is supposed to be infrared heat

You can hear the blower thats all. I don't know how there could really be a decent heater where you did not hear a blower. other than that no noise and heats and looks great

It's not a heater, only an oscillating fan with a wireless remote control. I like it a lot, especially the remote! See the other 2 answers also.

No, no blower, you wouldn't need one,,a small fan in the room might help circulate the heat around

It doesn't. I think it's all hype and a huge waste of money. A small electric heater worked better than this $400 unit and was quieter.

This does not have a fan. It is radiant heat only. I have a 550 square feet apartment and left the lil budy on high for 1 hr. it got close to 79 degrees in an hr. and i live in alaska. Had my home heater off as well

It has a blower, but it does not operate independently. You turn the unit on, the elements heat up - then the blower engages. When you turn it off, the blower continues to operate for a couple of minutes to cool down the heating elements. Still very satisfied with the purchase!

Wow, Danielle, I don't know about this type of application. This heater draws a full 1500 watts and gets very hot. And, as you may know, the infrared heats skin and not the air. I suppose it would keep animals warm, but it won't heat the air. Unless you live in an area with very cheap electricity, continuous operation will be expensive.

Uhh, its not a heater. The air coming out will not be warmer than the air going in. Its just a fan. Like any fan - box, oscillating, stand or what have you, it simply moves the air in the room around.

We had the heater and blower installed by the gas company. The guy told us the blower wouldn't do much good. He said a ceiling fan is all you need. But, since we had already purchased the blower, we had him install it anyway. Now that we've used it a few times, we admit he was right. If you have a ceiling fan, forget the blower. It doesn't blow with much force at all....kinda pitiful, really. And it's a bit noisy, too, so save your money & just use a ceiling fan to circulate the heat.

I put the blower in mine, does not move a lot of air. The blower switch is on the back of the heater, so you can not see it.

No, because there is no blower. It is meant to heat an area slowly and safely, and then to maintain that temperature. It does have a digital thermostat, though. We have had ours for eight years...WORKS GREAT!!!

Mine has been turning off once the temperature at which it is set on. With infrared sometimes the fan will run but the actual heaters inside are not on. Maybe the actual heaters are not cooling off enough before the temperature setting is telling the heat to come. Hopes this helps. John

The fan is necessary to move the air through the ceramic wafer. Without the fan running, if its' fuse doesn't melt first, and shutdown the heater; then you will spend a lot on electricity, for very little heat. The fans on these units only last about a season, if you use it regularly. The model here has a rotary motor on bottom, of the two I have had, they do not last even a season. A better model, is the one without the bottom part; and, you gain a knock-over switch, which is important!
