Envi Plug-in Electric Panel Wall Heaters for Indoor Use Energy Efficient 24 7 Heating w Safety Sensor Protection

I have to defend these heaters for their quality and efficiency. I own 9 of these and they are my only heat source in an old 1860's 3 story house. I will say before we upgraded some of our insulation, they worked overtime to keep the temperature at 67 during winter here in upstate ny. When the air is wet and cold in the single digits we can barely keep it at 66 to 67. That being said, our home still has wall insulation rated R13 instead of R21 which is the lowest recommended insulation for our area. The outside walls have not been wrapped properly either. Once we upgraded 2 large areas, these little guys pulled their weight and we achieved 70 degrees easily with single digits temps. Extremely easy to install. Safe and durable. I have owned mine for 4 years. Lightweight. Quiet design. I have heard about clicking noise being bothersome, but I am a light sleeper and don't have trouble with mine. The power bill is not too bad but is hard to gage because our power company charges keep increasing. Read more

The media could not be loaded. The Envi wall heater has been a great addition to our home. We put our first Envi heater in a room that stays colder than the rest of our home in the winter, and it has helped to keep the room comfortable. Compared with a space heater, the Envi wall heater does not take away any space in the room since it mounts on the wall and is thin. Also, it runs silently--all the heat with none of the sound! Having no moving parts means there is no filter to clean, and from what I can tell, the way it is designed seems to be as energy efficient as possible for an electric heater. And the design is attractive--not something I feel like needs to be hidden in a nice home. Attached is a photo of our newly installed heater from Amazon along with a video showing me unboxing and installing the heater. Since this was my second Envi heater to install, I felt confident with making a video from start to finish. When I installed the first heater, I thought there was a bit of marketing hype to claim that it "installs in minutes." When I went to install my first heater, I gathered the normal tools…a level, tape measure, drill, screwdriver, etc. But then I was pleasantly surprised to find that the box insert doubles as an installation template that rests against the wall and floor. That means NO level and NO tape measure is required. Also, the drywall in that room was only a few years old, and the included drywall anchors went right into the wall like butter with a cordless screwdriver…NO pre-drilling needed. It was really fast and easy to get the two mounting clips into the wall in the perfect position. From there, the heater just hangs on the two mounting clips for a level, flush-to-the wall installation. I'm also a bit of a perfectionist. Having a long power cord dangling from the wall or tied up next to the heater is unsightly. But they thought of everything…any extra power cord length can be pushed back into the cavity where the cord comes out of the heater, which just leaves the exact length needed to reach the power outlet. And the power cord has a right-angle plug, so the cord rests neatly against the wall instead of sticking out from the wall. There are also electrical punch-out holes on the back of the heater for people who want a direct wired heater with no exposed outlet. The only thing I learned while installing this new heater (which you can see in the attached video) is that this heater was installed in an older home, and the drywall is extremely hard compared with my first installation. If I were to install the heater again, I would just pre-drill the two holes before screwing in the wall anchors. Other than that, installation went smoothly with no surprises. The Envi heater draws up air from the floor and outputs a steady stream of silent heat out the top of the heater. The thermostat lets the heater run when needed and automatically turn off when your room is at or above your desired setpoint. The top vent is angled slightly outward, so the wall above and behind the heater stays at a temperature that is still comfortable to touch. And the front of the heater stays even cooler during operation, so I don't worry about a child or pet getting unpleasantly surprised if they touched the heater while it is in operation. It is easy to set and forget! Here's to a more comfortable room! Read more

I was so excited to try these heaters. We have an older home and have used 1500 watt electric space heaters for years, no problem heating rooms. I kept seeing the Envi heater ads on social media, making these look incredible, very safe, efficient and could even help to lower our electric bill. I went all in and purchased three, two of the 500 watt for two approximately 10 x 10 upstairs bedrooms, and one 1000 watt for an approximately 12x 12 downstairs bedroom. Installation was pretty easy, I installed them when our outside temperature was in the forties. One upstairs bedroom seemed to heat the room well, the other, not so much. I kept turning the thermostat on the heater up and up and still couldn’t get the room above 67 degrees. The downstairs bedroom was even worse. I reached out to Envi customer service, thinking the 1000 watt should easily be able to heat our bedroom on a forty some degree day. I figured we had a defective heater and would exchange it. Customer service was a joke, no troubleshooting or anything, just told me that the heater would not work for our space and that we must not have enough insulation. Huh? That was based off of no questions asked by support, so it seems they don’t have much faith in their products working. No help with a return or anything, luckily I purchased through Amazon. This morning is our first truly cold day, outside temperature in the twenties. The heater that seemed to be working well upstairs is struggling, thermostat set the highest, but room temperature is 63 this morning. Second bedroom temperature is 53, that heater is also set to the highest. I just went out to our garage to get our old space heaters. Returning all three Envi heaters. What a joke. Read more

We are on a second one of these having bought the first one 13 years ago. We only use it in a small area with a plug-in thermostat purchased several decades ago. We would had expected the first one to last longer however they are not cost prohibitive. The unit heats well and is the safest we could find for our application. We researched other products when the first one died and did not feel there was are better replacement. Years ago we used heaters that were ceramic style wall heaters that did not have covers in bedrooms. They were not as efficient and without a cover would expose one to a hot surface. We believe, when paired with a separated thermostat, these are a good option for smaller spaces. Compared with most other independent space heaters they are much less likely to cause bodily harm. They are very quiet and attractive. When first initiated they are quite smelly and need to cure over several hours. We would advise opening windows. Read more
