    Don't know about the infrared heaters, but I did buy a small 220 volt electric heater from Menard's awhile back. I use it in my storage garage, works great and was about $150.00......

    Doesnt infra red heat you like the sun. The light waves penetrate deeper into your skin, making you feel warm, but the stuff around in the room stays cooler?
    Or something like that.

    That would be good for a shop.

    Ya ,thats the reason I am looking for a infrared heater.It heats up objects like machines,tools,metal, and CONCRETE FLOOR(which is the coldest).I have 2 other heaters which warm up the air.

    This is the one I used. Works great and not too expensive to run.

    I have found one that I lilke ,but it comes in two different models.One is 118 dollars and burns at 1500 watts constant ,and the other is 190 dollars and runs at 500 watts on low and 1000watts at high.Man ,thats around 70 dollars more for the one with a high and low switch,and it still does not get as hot as the cheaper one .I wonder if its possible to get the cheaper one that burns hotter ,and add my own switch on the power cord?
