Does anyone have an Ecoheat panel. We are deciding if this would be a good idea in bubs room for winter?

We have them in the kids rooms, we got them last winter and found they put out alot of heat. We set them on timers to come on just before bedtime for an hour, and at about 4am for a couple of hours. If it was cold during the day then I would put them on when the kids were asleep and turn them off when they got up.

We got them about July, so didn't have them for the whole winter.

We got the bigger size as when I went into placemakers that was all they had.(they were the last 2 and they had sold out in 2 weeks)

Yup, we have one in Hannah's room.
She was only a few months old last winter so it was on almost all day every day. It added about $15 onto our monthly bill - well worth it to keep bubs warm

She's much bigger now, so we'll probably only have it on a timer so it's on at certain times to suit naps.

I found it put out a lot of heat, but made the room quite dry, so we just had a bowl of water sitting in the corner of her room (I'd have to re-fill it every second day because it kep evaporating .

Well worth it, I reckon. It's a lovely even heat

We've put one in our nursery too. Haven't had to use it yet though!

We've had one in the dog's kennel for the last year or so though  (I know, I know, but he's a giant wuss and really feels the cold... ) But it's been great - and hasn't made our power bill that much bigger at all...

Thanks for that - we just weren't sure, bubs is in our room still mainly cause we have a villa. We are using an oil heater and have Skope wall heaters as well but we don't use these. We have a heatpump and a gas fire as well but the heat doesn't get into the rooms.

is this the econoheat panels? we have been thinking about getting one for Ellas room as well. the last couple of winters we have used an oil heater but now that she is in a bed we can't really use one at night and I thought this would be a good alternative.

They still get quite hot, thats why we only had it on when they were sleeping, and they use less power than an oil heater so we figure in the long run they will be a better choice for us. Just have to be careful not to put anything too close and they have to be on an interior wall. Very easy to put up too. We are happy with ours. We bought them at a placemakers and saved on delivery, and they gave us a discount as they were the last 2 and we had wanted the smaller ones.
