Infrared Technology


	*Infrared Heating Technology* Why is BioSmart™ the Most Copied Infrared Heater in the World? We sell our infrared heating products based upon our costs to manufacture a premium product, which include: The premium quality of the parts inside the heater, design and engineering innovation which provide for increased heat output, ease of servicing, a host of electronic features, a satisfaction moneyback-guarantee, and an industry-leading, long-term warranty. That’s the added value of a BioSmart™ Heater, offered at a competitive price. To give you an idea of why our heaters average $50-$75 more than the “bargain basement” variety of infrared heater, let us give you an idea of what you don’t get with a bargain basement infrared heater: *Our Standard Features* With a long list of features that come standard with a BioSmart™ Heater, it is easy to see why the BioSmart™ Heater has become the most copied infrared heating innovation in the world. Full-function, easy to read and understand, digital LED control panel with heavy duty electronic relays. Slim, easy to use remote control. Delayed Start – this feature allows you to go to work and have the heater automatically turn on just prior to arriving home, thereby saving you from wasting energy by heating an empty house, as well as saving you from coming home to a cold house. Copper-lined heat exchanger that regulates and optimizes the infrared wave pattern for maximum absorption in the room. Long-life infrared heating elements (also called infrared tubes or infrared emitters) and warranty/customer support from EarthWise to insure that you will always be able to maintain and utilize your heater in the years to come. Minimal noise levels – we pioneered the laminar flow fan technology to replace the various axial fan systems in previous versions of infrared heaters which were noisier. BioSmart™ heaters have a more accurate thermostat than the mechanical thermostats used on cheaper heaters. All BioSmart™ Heaters use an elaborate electronic thermostat that is accurate to one degree up or down. Compare that to the 6 - 8 degree spread that is the normal operating range of mechanical thermostats and cheaper electronic thermostats. Serviceability - one of the most important features of a BioSmart™ Heater is its serviceability and availability of parts. BioSmart™ is not a throw-away heater. It is designed to be maintained and cared for in the years to come. So when something does need to be replaced, you know that the parts will be on your doorstep very quickly and the time to replace the part, no matter which part, is usually less than 10 minutes using only a screwdriver. TUV certification (international UL equivalent) assures safety and quality. Some of the discount heater manufacturers import the heaters without having TUV, or UL certification, or product liability insurance. Customer support lines – customer support is readily available to help you diagnose any problem or answer any question that you may have about your heater. Style and Elegance-We were the first to actually put some styling into our heaters and move away from the unattractive and out-dated “box furnace” look. Why can’t you have styling, compactness of design and good looks all in the same heater? We think you can. Buyer Beware! This year there are many companies that have suddenly popped up that are creating knock-offs and look-alikes of the premium infrared heaters that have been around for years. These are some facts that you should know before buying any infrared heater! If the heater advertises 60,000 - 80,000 hour heating elements, then it usually utilizes cheaper PTC elements that are found in ordinary in-wall & space heaters and they DO NOT emit infrared waves. These heaters will not have the efficiency and unique heating properties of infrared heaters. Heaters utilizing PTC elements: iHeater, Comfort Quest, Heat Star In order for an infrared heater to have efficient heat output and negative ion generation, it must also have copper inside the heating chamber. There are several companies that have taken a short-cut in this regard, and have omitted the copper inside their heating chamber. Heaters that do not have copper inside the heating chamber: Heat Smart, Amish infrared heater, Life Smart Amish heater Dual DC fans are plastic axial fans that have proven to be noisier and less durable than the single-scroll metal fan utilized by the BioSmart™ 1500 watt Heaters. We know because our first model utilized this fan system and then we upgraded to the more expensive, but more durable and quieter, single scroll fan. Heaters utilizing the dual plastic axial fans: Comfort Quest, iHeater, Life Smart, Amish Infrared Be wary of companies claiming to heat 1500 square feet. This is an unsubstantiated, bogus claim. The BioSmart™ puts out 15% more heat than any other 1500 watt infrared heater on the market, and we feel that it would be misleading and unethical to claim to effectively heat more than 1000 sq ft. Some companies have an automatic shut-off after 8 hours, and you have to manually restart it every 8 hours. The BioSmart™ Heater has quality components that are made to be able to run 24/7 all winter long. Heaters that have to be manually restarted every 8 hours: Life Smart, Discovery Be wary of cheaper thermostats that have a temperature variance of more than 1 or 2 degrees. It means that the room will get too cold before the heater turns on and too hot before it shuts off. The BioSmart™ has the most precise thermostat control of 1 degree variance up or down. Large variance thermostat: Almost all other infrared heaters. Be wary of companies that have plagiarized our, or other companies', diagrams and website copy to describe their heater. The descriptions and diagrams will not match the heater being sold. That is a way to sell an inferior heater using the design and description attributed to a higher quality heater. The BioSmart™ Heater has been rampantly and illegally plagiarized in this way. If it looks and reads anything like our heater, that is because those are likely diagrams and verbiage off our websites that describe the BioSmart™. Heaters lacking in a customer satisfaction money-back-guarantee or a 3 year warranty. All of the heaters should offer you this peace of mind. One final and important note regarding electric fireplace heaters, including the Amish fireplace heater: There are no electric fireplace heaters on the market today that give off infrared heat! Moreover, many do not have a thermostat, only an on/off switch. They are not able to heat as large an area or come anywhere close to the efficiency of a genuine infrared heater.
