SR18P | Empire Propane Gas (18000 BTU) Vent Free Radiant Heater (Manual/No Thermostat)

Enerco Vent Free High Intensity heaters provide heat through an infrared "radiant" heat process, without the need for outside venting. Infrared "radiant" heaters provide heat by instantly adding warmth to you and objects in the room just like the sun. Think of a cat on a windowsill! Radiant heaters project warmth into the room like sunlight through a window. High Intensity heaters are ideal for buildings with high ceilings, hard to heat areas, or buildings which require only spot heating are more effectively heated using high intensity infrared heaters. Because high intensity heaters are "vent free", they do not required outside venting and are 99.9% fuel efficient. Because they don't require outside venting, no heat is lost.

Infrared heaters work the same way that the sun does. Infrared rays heat the object directly, not the air around it. When the object becomes hot, it heats the surrounding air and any other objects. With infrared heat, people, machinery, objects and floors all become heat reservoirs -- leading to greater fuel and cost efficiency. It's the perfect heating solution to large buildings like warehouses, machine and auto body shops, terminals, manufacturing plants and farm building.

Empire Vent-Free Heaters are intended to be used as a supplemental or secondary heat source. Radiant vent free heaters are ideal heat sources for poorly insulated spaces or spaces which are not insulated at all. Since radiant heaters heat objects, heated air is not lost due to air movement outside the heated space. If window condensation problems are common in your home, installing a vent-free heater may not be a good option for you.
