What space heater do you have?
What space heater do you recommend and why? On the days where ya rig needs a little extra heat, what have you guys bought to take care of it? I'm in the market.

Hi,
Extracting heat from the environment is cheating LOL!
BTW the latest heat pumps do about 3x until 7 c.
Radiant heat is 100% efficient just the same as all other resistance heaters. It heats the object it is pointed at, unlike the others.
From "how radiant heaters work: Infra-red energy is commonly thought of as heat but infra-red energy only creates heat when it is absorbed by things with mass. For example, infra-red energy generated by the sun travels through space relatively unaffected until it strikes the earth's surface where it is transformed into heat energy."
If my air conditioner ever dies it will be replaced by a heat pump.

Wrong. Those same watts powering a heat pump will put out almost twice the BTU's of heat than the best radiant heater. Radiant heat is not very efficient when compared to other methods of producing heat.
