Do these generate heat inside the room?

You can think of this as an air conditioner followed by a heater, so i theory it cools then heats to the same temperature. The reality is anything that is electrical will create some heat, but this unit doesn't significantly add to the heat of any room it is intended for. Keep in mind that this is a very robust unit, intended for a basement, or multi room area with good air flow between the rooms. You wouldn't want to use it in a small bedroom.

The plastic neck on them generates heat; but as far as I could tell they have no restrictions. I installed one in the kitchen fixture which is enclosed. Sorry but I have to bring this up every time; I went from 210 watts in the kitchen to 28.5 watts; and my wife likes it much better.

Yes I have used them before and they do show a little heat when they have been running for a long time to reach temp. It should not however be super hot or smell hot. But, some heating is normal As long as you are within the 240v limit and no more than 10 amps all is fine. If you are using a normal 240v then you would be at 10amps. Hope this helped. If not get a hold of an electrician and check the heating circuit. This unit should handle it

I hope they do, that is why I bought them. I just have not hooked them up yet. Since I don't have heat in the building I'm working on right now, they don't work in below 0 F temp.

It seems to me that they do--I always get a good curl. They're pretty warm to the touch when I put them in--I'm not sure I would want to handle them any hotter.

Yes -- the heat it generates is not dissimilar to a very small space heater. It's nice in my basement.

Probably not that well: we are using ours in a room that is approx. 15 feet by 20 feet with 15 foot ceilings--2 walls are glass (no insulation). Unless you are on top of the heater, not feeling much warmth.

These are great cabinet fans to remove heat from electronics, but to remove heat from a whole room I don't believe these will do the job.

the room where I use these has only space heat and I have never had a problem with the mats. they maintain their buoyancy and integrity with heat and cold

Well, I live on the other end of the diagonal - in the Pacific Northwest. I have used these fans very successfully to move heat through walls to rooms adjacent a large slow combustion fireplace that comes equipped to circulate the air in the main room only. They work extremely well. The rooms next door are really snug and the air circulates back via connecting doors. One thing I did was to change the electric power cabling so it runs inside the wall cavities to standard wall switches with timers and all that fancy stuff. But the basic answer is - yes they are good news. - Colin

I do not. It does not output a lot of heat...only a small amount in a localized area. A floor heater would likely be a better option....in my opinion.

I can only answer from my own experience with an 8 foot ceiling in my kitchen. I don't experience any unusual heat from them.

Not at all, I use them in all of my terrariums. They don't get very hot and you can also purchase a thermostat to finely tune heat dispense throughout your new friends habitat.

Yes. LED bulbs produce very little heat and that is why the are so energy efficient.

I have these in several fixtures and I do leave some of these on for extended periods, and they certainly don't produce as much heat as an incandescent bulb. By no means would I call the amount of heat they do produce "tremendous".

Yes. The hot air generated by the machine needs to vent or else the room will get hotter!

No - we have no used them much as our electrical is not wired correctly outside. You should have them high up and project where you want heat.
