Questions and Answers

For more details on the amazing EdenPURE GEN3 Quartz Infrared Portable Heater, here is an interview with Julius Toth, Director of Product Development for EdenPURE.


Q. What is the origin of the amazing heating element in the EdenPURE GEN3 Heater?

A. This advanced heating element was discovered accidentally by a man named John Jones. He had a large old farmhouse that was impossible to heat. Jones had a coal furnace in his basement. He placed a sheet of cured copper near the furnace to store it. Cured copper is a type of copper that goes through an extensive heating process to give it special properties.

After the fire went out in the coal furnace, Jones noticed that the sheet of copper was heating his entire basement evenly, even though the furnace was no longer putting out heat. He also was amazed as to how long the heat stayed in the copper and continued to warm the room.

Jones was so taken aback by this that he started to experiment. He formed a company to develop a heating source out of this cured copper. But Jones had a number of children and he did not want a heating source that would cause a fire or create other hazardous situations like creating carbon monoxide or radiation. He also did not want his children to get burned. To make a long story short, through a great deal of research and development, Jones developed a heating source that utilized commercial infrared quartz tubes and cured copper.

Q. What advantages does an infrared quartz tube heating source have over other heating source products?

A. John Jones designed his heating source around the three most important consumer benefits: economy, comfort and safety

In the EdenPURE GEN3 system, electricity is used to generate infrared light which, in turn, creates a very safe heat. Infrared does not create carbon monoxide or harmful radiation. And, most importantly, infrared heat does not reach a burning temperature that may cause a fire.

After a great deal of research and development, very efficient infrared heat chambers were developed that utilize three unique patented solid copper heat exchangers in one EdenPURE GEN3 heater. (U.S. Patent Numbers: 6,327,427; 7,046, 918). Over 5 years of research, development and real life field testing stand behind this heat source. It has now worked in residential and commercial applications in locations throughout the world for over 25 years.

Q. Why is it that this quartz infrared heating source uses less energy to create heat than other sources?

A. Actually, there is more than one reason. One of the primary reasons is that heat at combustion level, which is what all other heat sources use, causes the heat to instantly rise to the ceiling. Therefore, the heat is not evenly distributed, causing a very inefficient and uncomfortable heat source.

The EdenPURE GEN3 Quartz Infrared Portable Heater does not use burning heat. Once the heat exchanger absorbs the infrared heat, it exhales the heat into the living area carried by the existing humidity in the air. This causes the heat to travel rapidly and evenly throughout a room.

In actual studies, photos using infrared lighting demonstrated that the heat was almost perfectly even from floor to ceiling and wall to wall. The EdenPURE GEN3 Quartz Infrared efficiency is based on the distribution of energized air, not on just fan movement. This heat is coined as "soft heat" due to how comfortable it is.

Q. What are the other disadvantages of combustion heat sources?

A. Heat sources that are above the burning level have many negative side effects. One of these is that they create dry, irritating indoor air. They also burn a great deal of oxygen in the air. If you remember, when you sit in front of a fireplace or a portable heater or close to a heat source, you will remember yawning. This is because you are not getting enough oxygen.

This dry irritating heat and lack of oxygen dries out sinuses and mucus in the throat. The lack of oxygen causes fatigue. Also, many combustible heat sources produce carbon monoxide, static cling, and some produce radiation.

Q. So you're saying that children or pets can come up to this unit and touch it and not be harmed?

A. That is absolutely correct. You may find that pets are actually drawn to this heat because it is a natural source of heat. Animals are much more instinctive than humans. This heat not only heats the air, but it also heats the objects in the room. It is a beautifully balanced heat.

Q. How can a person cut their heating bill with the EdenPURE GEN3?

A. First, the EdenPURE GEN3 uses less energy to create heat than most other sources, but that is just part of why it can cut a person's heating bill. The EdenPURE GEN3 will heat a room in minutes. Therefore, you can turn the heat down in your home but the room you are occupying, which has the EdenPURE, will be warm and comfortable. The EdenPURE GEN3 is portable. When you move to another room, it will quickly heat that room also. This can drastically help cut heating bills, in some instances, the savings may be substantial.

Q. I also understand that the EdenPURE produces clean fresh air without furnace filters. How can it do that?

A. A furnace generates a lot of dust due to the combustion. By lowering the furnace temperature, you are using your furnace less and therefore reducing the requirement for the furnace filters. Also, when there's no combustion, there are no harmful fumes.

Q. So, the EdenPURE GEN3 is totally safe to use?

A. The EdenPURE GEN3 has zero clearance, which means you can push it up against the wall or furniture without risk of fire. Although, for efficient operation, we recommend allowing for adequate air flow back and front. Tests prove the unit does not transmit into the atmosphere any energy that will burn or harm anyone, regardless of distance between the person and the EdenPURE GEN3.

The EdenPURE GEN3 carries the cUL Certification.

The EdenPURE GEN3 can potentially pay for itself in weeks. It may put a great deal of extra money in a user's pocket. Because of today's spiraling gas, oil, propane, and other energy costs, the EdenPURE GEN3 will likely provide even greater savings as the time goes by.

The EdenPURE GEN3 comes in 2 models. GEN3 Model 500 (8k, 36cm H, 29cm W, 34cm D) heats a room up to 27 square meters and GEN3 Model 1000 (12k, 43cm H, 33cm W, 46cm D) heats a room up to 90 square meters.
