It’s been VERY cold this winter in Rhode Island and we’ve had a lot of snow.  Yes I know we live in New England and it’s supposed to snow, but we have winters with very little and then some with a lot and this is one with a lot!  While we’ve been enjoying how pretty and fun the snow can be, I’m very tired of the cold.

We moved into a new home last summer that is a bit bigger than our old home and we are still trying to adjust the temperature to heat the house.  Because we have a few different heating zones in the house, we can heat only rooms we use all the time.  This helps with the cost of heating BUT it doesn’t help when it’s cold and we want to be in one of those rooms.  So we were excited to receive the Honeywell 360 Surround Heater.  Now we can heat areas, rather than rooms and save money.  Always on the top of my list!

We haven’t used the heater long enough to know if it really is energy-efficient but I”m sure it is.  It works really well in warming the area that we are in and while we don’t leave it on for very long, I like the idea that it has a timer in case we wanted to use it for a longer period of time, this way we can have it shut off when needed.  It is very quiet and slim so it fits nicely anywhere!

My husband was very hesitant at first to use it, he’s big into safety.  But he read all the instructions and found that with all the safe guards in place, it would be fine.  He was pretty impressed at how well it warmed the area and not just in one direct path, but the entire room!  He also loved seeing how much energy was being used, he’s a nerd so he likes that sort of stuff!
