How it Works
The Original SUNHEAT electronic zone heater uses infrared heating technology to efficiently convert electric energy in to heat energy. Infrared heat waves are invisible to the human eye, like the Sun’s energy, the heat is absorbed by the objects in the room and therefore you don’t need to be close to the heat source in order to feel the heat.
How do you cut your heating costs?
Hundreds of Thousands of SUNHEAT customers have saved hundreds on their heating costs by trading the high cost of heating oil and fuels for the cheaper and more stable price of electricity. Most people spend 80% of their time living in only 20% of their home. The savings starts there, if you reduce your consumption of heating fuels by turning down your furnace you naturally save money. The next step is to only heat the areas/rooms you want extra heat in. The Original SUNHEAT is a powerful supplemental heat source that allows you to turn down your furnace and put the heat were you live. SUNHEAT will effectively heat 800 to 1000 sq ft; bedroom, family rooms, dens, basements, living rooms; any area of your home. Four heavy duty rolling casters and a six foot cord make this heater very portable.

The thermostat
A key component of the Original SUNHEAT is the thermostat that monitors the temperature of the air coming in through the filter. When the room temperature reaches the desired setting on the heater the infrared heat bulbs turn off. The heat stored in the copper canisters continues to be blown into the room maintaining the temperature level but the heating elements are not pulling electricity. This is a huge savings over conventional space heaters that continually pull the maximum amount of electricity whenever they are on. The Original SUNHEAT will run about 12 out of every 24 hours during the coldest months (December, January, February) and 6 -8 hours out of every 24 in milder months (October, November, March). The heater will cycle on and off as needed to maintain the heat setting.
The kind of saving you can expect?
The normal heating season is considered from October 1 to March 31 of any given year. The largest saving during this season can be in October and later parts of March because of the wide fluctuation in the outside temperature on a daily bases. With a SUNHEAT heater you may be able to delay turning on your furnace in the early fall and turn off your furnace earlier in the spring. The use of a SUNHEAT heater in these seasons can translate into significant savings over the entire heating season.
Different regions of the country use different primary heating sources; Heating Oil in the Northeast, Natural Gas and Propane across the Midwest and West and Electricity across the country. The type and cost of heating fuel your furnace operates on will directly impact your savings.
Let’s look at some examples
The EIA projects the average residential cost to heat a home using Heating Oil will be $1821 per household (down 3% from 2007-08). For every degree you lower you thermostat you can expect a 5% saving with expected insulation factors. If you turn down the thermostat by 12 degrees you could save 60% or $1092.60.
The national average rate per kilowatt hour for electricity is .0987 cents. The Original SUNHEAT will draw 1.5 Kwh for 12 out of each 24 hour time period, on average, during the coldest months (December, January and February). We estimate a cycles of 6 to 8 out of 24 hours for the remaining months (October, November and March). We project the average cost of running a SUNHEAT heater for the heating season will be about $250 for 1700kwh.
For Heating Oil: 1821X60%=1092.6-1821=728.4+250=978-1821=842/1821=46%
For Propane: 1667X60%=1002.2-1667=666.8+250=916.8-1667=750/1667=45%
For Electricity: 933X60%=559.8-933=333.2+250=583.2-933=349.8/933=37%
For Natural Gas: 783X60%=469.8-783=313.2+250=563.2-783=219/783=28%
If you lower your thermostat more when you are away during the day could result in great savings.
If you choose to lower your furnace by only 5% or 8% the saving will be less. The insulation of attics, wall, doors and windows can affect the overall energy efficiently of your home. The number of total heating days and other regional factors will impact individual savings. These estimates are not a guarantee of any savings but a projection of possible saving.
