Does this heater emit any VOC's? I am concerned about the heating element being encased in fiberglass.

there is an odor, however I have owned multiple lasko space heaters, as well others that are the " radiator" oil filled type. In my opinion most space heaters give off some type of an odor, after all they are electric. Also this particular model oscillates. Unless you are sitting w/in a few feet of this model, the odor is not noticeable. I hope this assists you in your decision.

This is a fuel burning appliance so carbon monoxide poisoning would be an issue. I wouldn't want to take the chance.

I've used these for years and never had problems with the heater. Not sure if metals are released in the pool but the answer is probably on the website for the manufacturer.

I love the heater too. I didn't notice an offensive smell and I have a bird and dog that didn't seem affected at all. Maybe it is your unit.

Hello, I have never had a problem with it over heating but I am also not constantly online. If you are constantly online then I am assuming it might become there are no holes for ventilation. Hope that helps

This is a nonvented heater so it does produce water vapor. My park model is not very tight so that is not much of a problem for me, but if your unit has tight windows and doors you will build up some moisture inside.

If it's a inside wall. Econo- Heat say's no outside walls either block or framed Cold air will effect the way the heater operates. I found out some of my heaters burned out after a few years. I still have one that is three years old.

No it does not remove VOC. To do that you would need a carbon filter. Your house should not normally have VOC's.

Not that I am aware of. I did have a natural gas space heater that I converted to LP. I only had to change the jet. Couple of bucks is all. But I difinitely would go down to your local heating shop and ask. This is not a space heater but same principle. You will love this, just do not clean it with water like that YouTube video. You will be asking for rust. Just scrape it and save the flavor. Besides that is a lot of work for nothing.

no, but I found none that were. It holds the heat quite well, even in cold temps (20 deg. F). I've run it continuously on one 20 lb. gas canister for a total of 15 hours and still have gas in the tank.

I don't remember having this problem. I have had this for over a year and I don't smell the plastic smell. I love this little heater. Works as well as it did the first day we bought it!

I have frequently heard blue is a more hot flame. However, this particular heater does a very good job at keeping the temperature stable. The oxygen sensor is very sensitive, so make sure you will have fresh air or the unit will shut off including the pilot light. I use mine in a climate controlled storage building and it does well. It also has a slight natural gas smell. If you use propane you will not have that problem. Propane will put out more heat if you have that available. Overall it is a good heater. Performs well.

No. This gas heater is vented and, as a result, all products of combustion (including the smell of gas) exit the heater via the vent in the rear and are deposited outdoors.

There is no odor when they heater is running. Surprisingly it is made up of a wood box. It also stays cool on the outside while pumping out IR energy. It is all it claims to be. I was in a motorhome 20 degrees outside and it kept up to keep me comfortable in most areas of the mobile home. The dog loved it also!
