FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQ’S) 

 

My heater emits a “strange” odor when I first open the box/when I turn the heater on for the first time. 
Why? 

     These are both normal

. This heater is treated with a special heat safe/resistant coating. This 

odor will sometimes be present when the box is opened, and may be compared to a heaters 
version of “new car smell.” Also, similar to all hearth appliances (woodstoves, etc.), the coating, 
exposed to heat, will produce this particular odor during the first few hours of operation. This will 
dissipate after the break-in period. 

If you are sensitive to odors, you may want to pre-burn the 

unit in a garage with the door open until the initial odor dissipates.

 

 

If my heater runs on approximately 1500 watts, how many BTU’s is that? Is that a lot of heat? 

At 1500 Watts, your heater will use approximately 5100 BTUs. 5100 BTUs, compared to your 
home furnace, is a very small amount of heat. It may take several minutes, to several hours to heat 
your area, depending on various factors (

see Heater Placement

). 

 

Can my heater really operate on less money per day? What are my operating costs?

 

Yes

. If the heater is used as it is intended (as supplement/assist heat), in a well-insulated room, it 

should cycle on and off, allowing for it to heat in increments. Please note that the costs will 
increase 

if it is used as the single source of heat

in a poorly insulated room, or in an area where 

heat can escape

since the “on” cycle will run longer.  

 

The Formula

: To determine the cost of this or ANY 1500 watt appliance, multiply 1.5 X your cost 

per Kilowatt Hour. You can find the cost per KWH for your state at:

What is the life expectancy for the Heating Elements? Can the heating elements be replaced? 

The life expectancy of the heating elements is typically 25,000 hours. Heating elements may be 
replaced by obtaining parts from LIFESMART Products, although it is not recommended (unless 
you are a certified heater technician or authorized directly by LIFESMART). All parts may be 
purchased through LIFESMART PRODUCTS if your product is out of warranty. Note: If you feel 
that the elements are definitely faulty right out of the box, contact LIFESMART Products Tech 
Support first (for troubleshooting). They can then direct you on the next step. 
 

Once I plug the unit in and turn it on, how long will it take to heat my room? 

The heating process in the heater begins immediately. A change in the the actual room 
temperature will vary. Please remember that with any type of heating process, there are many 
variables: Location of heater (in the home), floor plan and size of the room, how well the room is 
insulated, how many doors/windows, how much bare concrete (acts as a heat sink with any type of 
heating), the opening and closing of an exterior door, long hallways, high ceilings, etc. Customers 
with smaller rooms experience quick heat changes. Others with larger and open floor plans can 
expect up to 24 hours to heat up.   

 

I don’t have a grounded outlet; can I use adapters, a 2-prong power strip, or remove the ground 
prong from the cord? 

Definitely NOT!

 

If you don’t have a grounded outlet, contact a certified electrician for advice. 

Removing or altering any part of the heater’s original design or intent (including the power cord) will 
not only void the warranty, but will make you liable for any unexpected or hazardous results.
