Quartz Heater
In
your search for a Holmes Quartz Heater just remember
they have a lot of heaters to choose from. Over on the
home
page we list all the different types of warmers
and their classification. They product 6 different
types of quartz warmers and 5 of them are quartz tower heaters.
Just so we are on the same page here is the definition
of a quartz heater:
Quartz infrared heater is a body with a higher temperature which transfers
energy to a body with a lower temperature through electromagnetic
radiation ~Widipedia

You can
easily tell a quartz heater from other heaters (especially
oil filled radiators) because they get hot fast. A
Holmes quartz heater can be found in many different
retail stores including: Lowes, Target, Wal Mart, Amazon and
many other places.
We own this Holmes quartz heater
and love the thing to death. In fact I was sitting in front of it as I wrote
this review. I never read a single customer review at the time we purchased it
but knew I wanted to try a quartz heater because I read about them one time at
Amazon. At that time some of the customer reviews were negative on these indoor
warmers because they were to noisy. A lot of those people compared the Holmes
to a heater by optimus. |
I believe the most comperable model was the optimus
h-5210 infrared heater. The reason we purchased this one is because it was
sitting in front of me at Target so I got it. Had it been the radiant heater by
optimus (h-5210 infrared quart radiant or any model number for that fact) we
would have purchased it.
Many
of the newer heaters are really built with safety in
mind. They offer tip over protection, over heat
protection and some come with a GFI or ALCI plug. These
plugs act like a those GFI plugs in your kitchen and
bathroom. It is now required in new home construction
and it's a built in safety feature because so many different
appliances are plugged in there. If the electrical
current is broken or interrupted that switch will kick
in and turn the power off. Having those switches
on your heater adds another layer of protection. Make
sure and look for that when you are shopping or reading
some customer reviews.

Quartz Heater Review
Holmes HQH307 Tower Quartz Heater
this is a 2 speed quartz heater that runs
at 1500 watts and 750 watts. It heats quickly
with the quartz radiant heat and is angled upward to push the heat up and out. Max
Flow technology pushes the heat out as well. The
heater glows red to show people it is hot and it has
a tip over protection that will shut the unit off when
this happens. It comes with a comfort control thermostat
and provides sun like heat instantly.
Holmes Quartz Tower HQH319-U Heater with 1Touch® Electronic Thermostat
one
of the first things you'll notice is there are two quartz
elements instead of one. What is even better is both
quartz elements turn on no matter what level you run
it at. Most other quartz heaters will have one
running and the other off, which provides uneven heat.
The Max Flow technology takes the air from the
back and pushes it forward past the elements which drives
heat into the room quickly.
The
HQH319-U comes with a patented one touch termostat,
safety tip over feature, has a high and low settings
as well as a automatic setting. This unit has
been well received by consumers across America.

Pretty
much the same quartz heater as above except it comes
with an ALCI (Appliance Leakage Circuit Interrupter)
or leakage protection plug. These are safer and
will automatically shut your unit off is something is
not right.
