We live in Upstate NY in a renovated cabin that is somewhat poorly insulated in certain rooms of our house, so I bought this to supplement the base board heating in our master bathroom. I run it a few minutes before I get into the shower and it is a perfect amount of heat. I only run it occasionally, as needed, but I haven’t noticed an increase in our energy bill yet. It gives our bathroom a cozy look and feel too. Blower is a little noisy, but it doesn’t bother us. You can adjust heat and the flame light and it comes with a remote.
