Q. What is a ComfortZone™ Cozy Heating
System?
A. The ComfortZone™ quartz infrared heater is a
revolutionary portable furnace that safely and efficiently heats the objects in
a room using infrared waves as opposed to less efficient systems that use
radiant or solar radiation.
Q. How does the initial cost and
savings compare to other heaters?
A. ComfortZone™ quartz infrared heaters utilize new,
more efficient technology for generating large amounts of infrared
heat. Built with yesterday's quality using tomorrow's
infrared and
solid state electronic technology. ComfortZone heaters incorporate great
styling, with micro-electronic genius. To invest in similar technology that
would heat a comparable area could easily cost twice the initial investment
without delivering the exclusive features and safe healthy benefits in this 3rd
generation portable furnace. The energy savings each month will usually
pay for the cost of the heater in less than a few months.
Q. How does the ComfortZone™ Portable
Heater Work?
A. The Comfortzone combines new advanced
engineering with the latest in infrared commercial quartz tubes. Both
technoloigies were developed by Wells Electronics for the ComfortZone heater.
The new heat exchanger incorporates a copper-ionization panel for efficient
ionization of the water molecules in the air. These water molecules act as
a carrier for the infrared heat that is expelled into the room.
Ionized water molecules distribute the heat more evenly in the room than do the
air molecules which is why you eliminate most cold air pockets in a room by
using moist infrared heat. It is a warmer softer heat that penetrates the
body more effectively than radiant heat. three solar copper
furnaces inside the unit absorb the heat from these tubes much like a sponge
absorbs water. The patent pending process also utilizes stainless steel
diffusion coils and special infrared tubes with ceramic and stainless steel
tips. In independent tests the combination of stainlesssteel diffusion
coils interacting with the copper ionization panels in the new heat exchanger
produced a 14% increase in heat output / efficiency. The Comfortzone
furnace exhales what is coined as "soft" environmentally friendly heat that
employs the humidity in the room as a vehicle to warm up large spaces quickly
and efficiently. Conventional heat sources that dry the air cause
occupants to lose energy and force them to breathe dry
uncomfortable
air.
Q. Where is the ComfortZone™ Portable
Zone Heater most often used?
A. Cold uncomfortable areas in your home, finished
basements, that cold back bedroom, that office down the hall, mobile homes,
etc. It can also be used as an energy saving source of comfortable heat
when employed as a substitute for other heat sources in the home. It’s a
better cheaper way to heat your home.
Q. What makes the ComfortZone™ Heater
"Healthier" than other heaters?
A. For one... the ComfortZone™ does not use up oxygen or
dry out the air, nor does it produce positive ions like other blower type
heaters. And the ComfortZone™ does not destroy healthy negative ions... it
actually produces them. Since the early 1950s scientists have
suspected that ions play an important role in how the body functions and,
consequently, in how we feel. Research has shown that an abundance of negative
ions in the air we breathe is highly beneficial. Conversely, scientists
have found that if the air is charged with too few negative ions and too many
positives, we become anxious, fatigued and tense. Positive ion poisoning has, in
fact, been linked to heart attacks, aggravated asthma, migraine headaches,
insomnia, rheumatism, arthritis, hay fever, and most allergies.
Two . . . the
internal temperatures inside the furnace destroy harmful biological pathogens
including bacteria, virus, mold and mildew without creating a combustion cycle
like other fossil-fueled space heaters and radiant/solar coil type electrical
heaters. These types of heaters use up oxygen and they remove humidity
from the air.
Q. What makes the ComfortZone™ Cozy
Heating System different?
A. There are three major types of heat.
The first,
is radiant heat. Radiant heat can be generated utilizing combustion or the
burning of a fossil fuel, i.e. natural gas, wood, oil, etc. It can also be
generated using electrical current to heat a coil, as in a base-board heater, or
to heat different liquids such as oil in a portable radiator. Radiant heat
is a very long wave form that can actually be seen radiating off the earths
surface in a mirage or off the top of a wall radiator. It is a very long wave
pattern.
The second, is solar radiation. Solar radiation is a very
short wave pattern that includes all hose wavelengths in the light spectrum that
are both harmful and beneficial. Solar radiation is responsible for you’re
the burn you get by sitting to close to a fire or disc heater or by sitting out
in the sun too long. Ultraviolet radiation falls into this solar radiation
spectrum. Solar radiation has a very short wve pattern that cannot be
detected by the human eye. Ultraviolet Radiation, for example, is a type
of solar radiation and the wave pattern varies from approximately 180 nanometers
to 270 nanometers.
A third form of radiation is Infrared radiation. It
is the safest and most effective type of radiation to use for warming up the
objects in a room including the human body. The ComfortZone™ Cozy Heating
System uses safe infrared radiation to efficiently convert electrical power into
therapeutic infrared heat. Infrared heat is by far the most economical
type of heat for zone or area heating. Infrared waves vary from 5 to 14
microns which is is much much longer than solar radiation but much much shorter
than radiant heat waves. Infrared radiation is the perfect wave form for
the most efficient heating systems. Infrared heat is also the most
therapeutic type of heat which is why it is used universally for all medical
applications requiring heat applications as well as the preferred heat type in
most saunas. Infrared Saunas produce the same infrared wave that the
ComfortZone heater produces.
Q. How does the comfort of ComfortZone™
furnace compare to other systems?
A. The ComfortZone™ 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
ComfortZone™ infrared furnace produces infrared heat that does not concentrate
near the ceiling. Heat is evenly distributed from floor to ceiling throughout
the room. The even heating and higher humidity permit lower heat settings with
more comfort, less condensation on windows and less static electricity.
In
actual studies, photos using infrared lighting demonstrated that the heat was
almost perfectly even from floor-to-ceiling and wall-to-wall. The ComfortZone™
Quartz Infrared efficiency is based on the distribution of energized air, not on
just fan movement. This heat is coined as "soft heat" due to how comfortable it
is.
Q. Economically, how does the
ComfortZone™ furnace compare to other systems?
A. The ComfortZone™ furnace is the most economical way
to heat. The ComfortZone™ furnace uses an average of 35% less energy than
conventional electric furnace/baseboard systems. Even more impressive
results were found during comparisons with fuel based heating systems.
Individual results, of course, depend on insulation values, local climate, and
other conditions.
Q. How much area does a ComfortZone™
Cozy Heating System heat and at what cost?
A. The ComfortZone™ Cozy Heating System unit, is an
excellent source of primary heat for up to 1000 square feet and a superb source
of secondary heat for over 1200 square feet. Price per unit varies from $397.00
to $449 US Dollars. Plus... FREE SHIPPING.
Q. Why does the ComfortZone™ quartz
infrared furnace cost more than a space heater?
A. It is a furnace in every respect. It has
a miniature heat exchanger, miniature infrared heating coils or tubes, a
solid-state electronic control system, high and low limit switches to regulate
temperature and air flow, a stylish cabinet, a sensitive solid-state thermostat
with high voltage relays for turning the infrared tubes on and off and a dual DC
fan system to eliminate harmful electromagnetic radiation that is produced by AC
fans. It is a revolutionary “Green technology” product in every respect
that produces high-quality infrared heat at a fraction of the price of
conventional portable heaters. A space heater only has the capacity to
heat a small space because the heat stays where it was generated. The
ComfortZone™ furnace, like a central heating system, will heat an entire area
evenly and efficiently because the heat spreads rapidly through the entire
room. Leave the door aopen and the heat will spread into the adjoining
room as well. That’s whats so neat about infrared heat. Furthermore, the
ComfortZone™ furnace is safe. It will not start a fire or burn you if you get to
close to it. (Personal note: I like to sit in front of my unit when
I come in form the cold because it warms me up fast – Bruce Searle).
Because of the reduced energy consumption, and the unit's high level of safety
and comfort, ComfortZone™ users agree that it is the best value available.
Q. Is the ComfortZone™ Cozy Heating
System safe?
A. The ComfortZone™ Cozy Heating System has no flame or
fumes. Its safe, clean infrared heating elements provide the energy. Extensive
TUV-US testing has verified the safety of the ComfortZone™furnace.
Q. How long has the ComfortZone™
furnace been around?
A. The ComfortZone™ furnace is new for 2008. It
was developed by Wells Electronics, an ISO 9000 manufacturer who is an oem
supplier to many fortune 500 companies. Wells Electronics produced over
120,000 Edenpure and SunTwin heaters for the US market last year. Wells
Electronics wanted to introduce their own innovative technology into the US
market this year. Tens of thousands of Wells quartz infrared heaters
are marketed and sold worldwide each year.
Q. Why doesn't the heat from the
ComfortZone™ Cozy Heating System rise like conventional heating
systems?
A. Because the infrared wave is shorter than radiant
heat waves. Now, combine this short wave with an ionizing heat exchanger
and what you have is an infrared wave that spreads more quickly and penetrates
more thoroughly giving you a more even heat distribution from floor to
ceiling. The ComfortZone™ heats an area evenly, keeping heat down where
you and your family live.
Q. What kind of warranty does it have?
A. The ComfortZone™ furnace has an extended 3 year
factory warranty which includes the heating elements. The unit has no moving
parts except the fan. The furnace has rouble free solid-state
controls and diagnostic analysis of any problem can be analized over the
telephone with our technical support team through customer
service.
Q. How much power does the ComfortZone™
furnace draw?
A. The ComfortZone™ Furnace uses 1500 watts. That is
less than some coffee makers!
