While the Heat Surge electric fireplace with the Amish made wood mantle is a decorative, well built alternative to a wood burning fireplace or pellet stove, it does not produce a heat wave that reaches the far infrared wavelength.

Why is that important? For two reasons -- first, the Heat Surge electric fireplace will only heat up to 324 square feet. As an energy smart consumer, you should consider this: for the same amount of electricity, you could be heating up to 1000 square feet!

Second, far infrared heat feels significantly different heat from radiant heat. With far infrared heat, you feel more comfortable in the heated spaces of your home. The air isn't dry, and there are no pockets of cold spots in the room.

Why is infrared heat better?

Far infrared heating technology is the most efficient way to turn electrical energy into heat. The far infrared waves produced in the Bio-Smart™ Heater move quickly on the water molecules in the air and heat your home evenly from floor to ceiling. The far infrared wavelength also penetrates and heats the objects in the surrounding area, which will in turn radiate heat back into your home. 

Your Bio-Smart™ Heater will save you up to 50% on your current energy bill. Using zoned heating, you will no longer have to waste hundreds of dollars heating the unused areas of your home that you would normally heat with your energy-hungry central furnace. With a Bio-Smart™ Heater, you can enjoy the benefits of a safe, soft, and therapeutic infrared heat in the areas of your home you actually use. The Bio-Smart™ Heater will heat up to 1000 square feet for only $1.20 per day (based on an 8-hour period, using the national average of 10 cents per kw/hr).
