Does this use "Heat Pump" or "Resistant Electric Heat"? High heat amps lead me to think Resistant Heat. That is what I am looking for.

Not sure I returned because we actually were able to fix the exsisting unit.

Sorry, I'm not sure. It works great though. We use it day in and day out with no problems.

I have had no issues with heat. This device is perfect for regulating the speed of an inline fan I use to pump heat downstairs in the winter, and cool basement air upstairs in the summer.

Heat strips?? Like on an RV a/c unit? These units actually are heat pumps, even the 120vac unit. Several times already this winter ive turned on the heat side just to get the room a little warmer and it works great. You dont need to buy any extra equipment to use the heater.

The model number may be different than the electrical capacity. Its really a question for the manufacturer. My installation turned out to be unsuccessful in terms of providing adequate heat. Our building does not have sufficient insulation in the exterior walls, and our tenant has had to supplement the wall units with free standing radiant heaters.

i'm sorry, please tell me is that like and electric cooktop? if so it says in the info to use low to medium heat. i hope that helped. brenda

I wouldn't. You are over the amperage load it was designed for. You will get a lot of heat and early failure in your best case scenario.

I don't know about that, but I can tell you that we've been through two compressors and several service visits and we now have a very expensive conventional electric water heater on our hands. The heat pump function no longer works and it began failing a long time ago. I would seriously warn you against spending money on this water heater. Be sure to check out the many reviews across the web on this piece of equipment. It's a true (very pricey) lemon.

I have ran my pump for 6 to 8 hours at a time with no heat problems! I did however upgrade the power cord to a 12 ga. wire.

I have an electric range and it does heat up quickly. Heat is distributed evenly.

I use it on an electric range. There is a metal ring that should be used so the heat is spread evenly

I used a heat gun on low setting of 750watt, worked just fine, just be careful not to get too close, it can melt it.

This product is NOT suited to heating. Electicity is a very high level and costly form of energy that is wasted on heating loads. In order of efficiecy 1) conservation (insulation) 2) hot air panels. 3) Windows (multiple uses, you have them anyway) 4) Hot water pannels 5) wood stove 6) and last solar electric

It is electric heat pump requiring a 20 amp breaker and draws between 10 and 12 amps at full load.

I would go with an electric one if you want heat for a longer time period. I like this one because there is no cord to deal with.

I am not sure what your fuel source is for radiant heat (electric, natural gas, LP, etc.), so it is hard to compare what is more or less expensive. In terms of electric heaters that will work on a standard 115VAC circuit, this is a pretty good one. At one point, the gas valve went out on our furnace heater during the winter. It was over a week before the repairman come. Two of these, along with a portable electric ceramic radiant heater, heated our entire house. Also, this has safety systems on it that are pretty good. I have also used it to keep our garage above freezing level during the winter. It has one setting just to do that and it runs on relatively low power. For the money, it's a good heater. We own two.

A reverse cycle heat pump does not produce instant heat like a nickel wire heating element.This is a gradual heat that has limitations of operation on days when the outdoor temperatures approach freezing.

Amps aren't listed on the hotplate, so I don't know. But you probably want to know how much work it can do and the answer to that is 'not much.' I got it to keep in the basement for occasional use, but it takes forever to heat anything, even at it's highest setting. That makes it nearly useless, but additionally, sometimes one of the burners cuts out in the middle of heating something. I encourage buyers to look elsewhere.
