The LifeSmart Electric Space Heater is an infrared heater that supplements your house's heating while cutting your utility costs. Designed with a dark oak finish, this space heater will add a bit of class to your home.This heater, much like the infrared heating inside a toaster, is meant to heat objects in the room and provide a more natural warmth that won't dry out the air. Infrared heaters are designed to work in addition to your home's heating system. They are not meant to heat through walls or floors and work best in a single insulated room or garage. Equipped with 3 power modes, a thermostat control system, and remote control, your living room or bedroom will never feel so warm and cozy.
