Yes that was an even simpler answer I was looking for, thanks, Jeff

Yes it depends on how full of furniture and other items there are in your house. 20,000 BTU per hour.
In 2009 the savings were about $450 per winter not counting the reduced wear on your existing heating system.
I would say the savings now are quite a bit more.

Yes, if not better.

It is up to 20,000 BTU's per hour.

@barnone11967 You just shut off the fan and shade the collector with some kind of aluminium foil cover to block out hot sunlight for summer. just a suggestion.

Sorry to ask a probably "ridicoulous question" but , this device gives out 20000 btu's per hour, minut or what?!
Because if it makes 20000 BTU/s per second that is a HUGE number!
A figure of 20000 BTU/hour would seem more reasonable because that would be the equivalent for 5,6 Kw/h electric resistance!
Even so , it's a very interesting way to heat a little bit your home!
I'll try it out in the future but right now I must really finish my solar water heater, closed loop system!
Nice & bye!

@barnone11967 Heck, you just stop the heat from entering the house. easy enough !!

It is a simple install and it produces a lot of free heat with no moving parts unless you add our thermostat fan which boosts the flow and automatically turns on and off when it senses the heat naturally rolling out of the heater. Check out our output video on the heater. About 220 DEG F constant heat.
If you guys have any more questions let me know.
Thanks, Jeff

I'll give a simple answer about summer time.
Plug the inlet and outlet holes inside the house. Not covering it does not destroy it at all. We've used 1/8" x4'x8' painted hardboard from Home Depot for $11 bucks to cover it outside. Just bend it and screw it on.
The sun is very high almost straight up and down in the summer and does not strike the panel to even really get it warm. As the sun moves lower and lower in the sky in fall and winter it starts getting progressively hotter.
