For quite a long time one of my friends had been appreciative of the Comfort Zone Infrared Heater and one day I decided to check for myself what’s so great about this heater. We have had a long discussion of the product and I sum of the features that really impressed me.
This friend of mine has had reasons to be happy about his possession. At the outset, it lowers your energy bills while effectively heating the surroundings. For a given area the Comfort Zone Infrared Heater uses less power than the conventional heaters. It’s not only the conventional heaters that lag far behind this heater; even the other models of similar capacity with the same technology consume about 14% more power than the Comfort Zone. This make has a rated capacity of 20.000 working hours of operation.
A very healthy feature of infra red heaters is that the temperature is evenly controlled to avoid burning of oxygen and water content present in the surrounding air. As a result, there is no loss of water content in the air around the room and humidity levels are maintained. That surely saves the users from developing a dry skin and avoids irritation in the eyes that one experiences at times on leaving a heater on for a long time. As there is no burning of any kind you breathe a better quality of air. As a matter of fact it imparts the feeling of being in a warm blanket.
The Comfort Zone, like any other infra red heating device employs a different principle of heat transfer that results to having an effective and efficient heating. It doesn’t allow the temperature to rise to the point of causing fire. So, you are able to sleep comfortably with this device on, without the fear of any fire being caused.
The Infrared Heater has many built-in features that include a fully electronic thermostat, a delayed start function and an entirely functional remote control. This combination of thermostat and remote is so well matched that you can control the room temperature even by one single degree, precisely to the level you feel most comfortable with.
Though my friend has not faced any problems with the functioning of the Comfort Zone, he feels comfortable at the back of his mind as the manufacturer has an outstanding Nationwide Service Plan.
It leaves little doubt in mind that the Comfort Zone, with its economics of effective operation and healthier breathing surroundings, coupled with zero maintenance, makes it an ideal choice for any homeowner.
I was wanting to buy a comfort zone CZ999 and have a question. I recently purchased a Soleus radiant heater but when I got it home it was powered by a halogen type element which emits a bright light. I have a Presto radiant heater but it employs a ceramic wired element, which works great except Presto has issues with the thermostat going bad in a short time.
Does the comfort zone heater employ a ceramic/wired element or a halogen source?
Thanks for any light you can shed on this. I cannot find any information on the heating element source.
Hi Byron,
I did some research too and didn’t have luck with it. Nobody actually states what’s the heating element source. But from the look of this heater, I would think it has a ceramic/wired element. In case you want to buy this heater offline, you should talk to a salesman. Or at least, get a manual at a store to figure it out.
I’m sorry I can’t help you with this one. The model itself is not so popular so it’s impossible to get right information without actually buying one of these.
Byron, I have a comfort zone and I have used it or 2 winters now, which where I live is about 4 months . I havent had abit of trouble. just clean the filter in back once a month I live in an old 12×60 trailer and only use it , keep it on 72-74.Electic bill went dont 78 a month. My mother bought an Eden Pure zand she has sent it back twice and she gave more for hers than I did.
I bought a Comfort Zone (CZ1500WC) infa-red utility heater. I’ve been using it for the last few months without any problems. My friend also has one, and alerted me to the cord, which gets VERY hot near the plug. Neither of us has the paperwork that accompanied the heaters and I can’t find anything on line about it. Can you tell me if this is normal, or if there are any recalls on this model?
HAVE BEEN USING INFARED FOR 3 WINTERS IN THE NORTHEAST. WE HAVE FORCED HOT AIR FOR PRIMARY HEATING AND IT IS GAS FIRED. A GOOD HEAT BUT VERY DIRTY. PLUS SINUS PROBLEMS HAVE CEASED SINCE WE HAVE USED INFARED. THESE UNITS DO NOT BURN THE AIR AND ARE VERY EFFICIENT.THE COMFORT ZONE 1500 WILL HEAT FOR AROUND A DOLLAR A DAY ON HIGH CONSTANTLY. THE UNIT IS VERY QUIET AND THE THERMOSTAT IS ACCURATE TO PLUS OR MINUS 1 DEGREE,THIS RIVALS EXPENSIVE PROGRAMABLE WALL UNITS. THE CORD ON BOTH OUR UNITS DOES NOT GET HOT NEAR THE PLUG OR ANYWHERE ON THE CORD. I WOULD HAVE THIS CHECKED PRIOR TO FURTHER OPERATION OF THE UNIT.
