Why are HeatStar heaters better than gas heaters?
HeatStar heaters are more effective and more efficient than gas heaters. 2800 watts of HeatStar heating power are equivalent to  approximately 4000 Watts of a gas heater. So they need less energy! In addition, electrical energy is cheaper than energy derived from gas bottles. In total, so you can save 2 / 3 of your operating costs. Furthermore you have much less effort in operating with a HeatStar, because electricity is supplied continuously without worrying about stockpiling. When using gas heaters you got the hassle of stockpiling, purchasing and storage (see » technology comparison)

Why are HeatStar heaters better than cheap quartz heaters?
Again, HeatStar heaters are more effective and more efficient than quartz heating element. Quartz heating element emits only longwave radiation, from which the air is absorbed. Warm air rises up or will blownaway. Even in closed rooms are quartz heating elements inefficient because they require much longer until they have reached the operating temperature.

Why are HeatStar heaters better than heaters with similar technologies?
In our HeatStar heaters we use generally only TOSHIBA Parys lamps. Comparisons have shown that these tubes have a longer lifespan and are much more stable than other models. Furthermore HeatStar is only using it unique double parabolic high reflection grade reflector. This leaves no residue reflections on the tube and keeps it to the optimum operating temperature. The Toshiba specified Parys average lifespan of 5,000 hours of lamp can only be attained with this configuration.

The question of the outdoor use!
All HeatStar heaters are IP24 splashproof and thus permitted for the uncovered outdoor use.
