Reply #16: A follow up on installation and 1st night

[ThoughtCriminal]

The panel is a bit heavy to try and hold in place while marking and drilling the holes - especially for one person. I used a sturdy cardboard box that was the correct width to support it above the floor. That made the job mush easier and helped make it level too.

Good timing - it dropped to 19 degrees F last night, but the bedroom was quite comfortable (I turned the house furnace thermostat down). Our room is actually much larger than the 100 square feet that one panel is designed to heat. We might get a 2nd unit if it turns out to be inadequate as winter sets in.

My wife noticed a slight smell that may have been related to the new heater - if so I think it will probably diminish with use.

The unit only has an on/off switch, there is no temperature adjustment setting.
