The heaters were evaluated in several types of homes throughout Michigan and Tennessee during the cold winter months.  The homes in the evaluation included a fifth wheel travel trailer, a fifty year old Ranch house with very little insulation, a year around Lake House on Lake Huron with windows on all sides, and a double wide modular home in an open field. The weather conditions varied from thunderstorms, heavy winds, bitter temperatures, and blizzards.  The EdenPure Quartz Infrared heaters maintained the room at a comfortable temperature range of 64 to 72 during each condition during the test period.

The EdenPure heaters arrived on a very cold day and were put right to work.  The evaluation started by lowering the normal heat source thermostats to 50 degrees in each location. The EdenPure heater thermostats were turned on high until the room reached a comfortable temperature, and then lowered to set the comfort level that was to be maintained.  Each home within the evaluation heated rather quickly and the desired temperature levels were constantly maintained throughout the testing period. After just a couple of days we noticed several advantages to using the EdenPure heaters that included no drafts or warm pockets anywhere in the room, no moisture buildup on the windows, the units remained cool to the touch, and the rooms remained moist meaning our hands were not as dry as with other heat sources.  The EdenPure heaters actually replaced the normal heat sources by maintaining each home with the desired comfortable temperature range everywhere in the room.

In order to monitor the energy cost and savings we wrote down the current meter readings for each energy source that was used for heating. We kept a journal with weekly meter readings and weather conditions for each location during the testing time.  Overall we found that considerably less energy was being used while the home was a lot warmer and more comfortable to work in.  This was determined by calculating the current energy costs where we found the cost per unit of electricity was $0.10 while gas was about $0.96 and since the EdenPure heater uses electricity to run its fans while quartz infrared to produce the heating costs were reduced also.

In conclusion, we found that the EdenPure portable heaters maintained a constant comfort level even during the very cold times while reducing overall energy usage and cost regardless of where the heaters were used.  My relative and I would suggest the EdenPure portable heater to anyone as an economical heat source.  The initial cost of just under $400 per unit that covers a 1000 square feet area pays for itself in a very short period of time while helping the environment by reducing energy consumption each day.
