  How does my Heater keep me warm?

Your Uniflame®  Electric uses infrared rays to warm objects directly. It does not heat the surrounding air. This method of heating, called radiant heating, is more effective than ambient, or convection heating.

  Why does my circuit breaker trip when I use the heater and another appliance?

When running at full capacity, your UniFlame® Indoor Electric Heater will product draw between 12 and 14 amps.

The standard circuit has a capacity of 15 amps. This does not allow a lot of electricity to be used by other appliances.

To see if your circuit has enough space available or to create another circuit for your UniFlame® Indoor Electric Heater, please call an certified technician.

For further assistance, please call our Customer Care Center at 1.800.762.1142.
