What is a
Portable Furnace?
A Portable Furnace is a revolutionary zone furnace that safely and
efficiently heats entire areas that need additional heat.
What makes
the Portable Furnace different?
There are three major heating systems in existence today. The first, is
combustion or the burning of a given fuel, i.e. natural gas, wood, oil, etc…
The second, is resistance or the process of applying an electrical current
to a coil or resistor which produces heat, i.e. base board and electric
space heaters. The third, is the use of infrared light energy, which is
similar to the way the sun heats the earth. The Portable Furnace uses safe
infrared absorption to efficiently convert electrical power into even,
economical zone or area heating.
How does the
comfort of Portable Furnace compare to other systems?
The Portable Furnace is a state of the art system that provides the most
comfortable form of heat. Unlike traditional systems, which may leave a
differential of up to 18 degrees from floor to ceiling, the Portable Furnace
heated air, using infrared absorption, does not concentrate near the
ceiling. Heat stays down and evenly dispersed in the area where you and your
family live. Temperature difference from floor to ceiling is minimal. In
addition, the Portable Furnace does not remove humidity from the air. It
actually helps maintain humidity levels. The even heating and higher
humidity permit lower heat settings with more comfort, less condensation on
windows and less static electricity. Furthermore, the Portable Furnace does
not use flame, fuel or any form of combustion. Therefore, the heat from the
Portable Furnace is safe and clean – free of any other type of pollution and
does not use up the oxygen in the air.
Economically, how does the Portable Furnace compare to other systems?
The Portable Furnace is the most economical way to heat. In Midwestern
Utility field tests for heating seasons, the Portable Furnace used an
average of 35% less energy than conventional electric furnace/baseboard
systems. Comparable results were found during comparisons with fuel
based heating systems. Individual results, of course, depend on insulation
values, local climate, and other conditions.
How much
does a Portable Furnace cost?
The Portable Furnace, is an excellent source of primary heat for up to 500
square feet and a superb source of secondary heat for up to 800 square feet!
Price per unit $599 Canadian
Why does the
Portable Furnace cost more than a space heater?
It is a furnace in every respect. A space heater only has the capacity to
heat a small space (e.g. under a desk). The Portable Furnace, like a central
heating system, will heat an entire area evenly and efficiently. This allows
the unit to be a supplemental source of heat. Furthermore, the Portable
Furnace is safe. It will not start a fire or burn if you touch it. Because
of the reduced energy consumption, and the unit’s high level of safety and
comfort, Portable Furnace users agree that it is the best value available.
Why is the
Portable Furnace safe?
The Portable Furnace has no flame or fumes. Its safe, clean infrared lamps
provide the energy. Extensive testing at C.S.A. (Canada) and E.T.L. (Europe)
has verified the safety of the Portable Furnace. It also meats UL Standands
(#1278). Due to its safe operating temperature, the Portable Furnace may be
placed next to flammable materials with no safety clearance needed.
How long has
the Portable Furnace been around?
The Portable Furnace technology was developed nearly 30 years ago. Since
that time, there are more than 100,000 units now operating in both
residential and commercial applications.
Why doesn’t
the heat from the Portable Furnace rise like conventional heating systems?
It is important to first understand how conventional heating systems
operate. These systems produce superheated air (i.e. extreme temperatures
during the burning or resistance process) which rises to the top of the room
instantly and wastefully collects until the air cools and falls. In
contrast, the Portable Furnace’s use of infrared absorption allows it to
heat (energize the air in the room) without the use of superheated air
eliminating the stratification of hot and cold air. The Portable Furnace
heats an area evenly, keeping heat down where you and your family live.
What kind of
warranty does it have?
The Portable Furnace has an extensive 3 year warranty – including lamps. The
unit has no moving parts except the fan. Trouble free solid-state controls.
Portable Furnace technology eliminates the need for furnace filters. No
burners to rust, corrode, or adjust. No pilot light to waste energy.
How much
power does the Portable Furnace draw?
The Portable Furnace uses 1500 watts. That is less than a coffee maker!
