The Heat Storm HS-1500-TC is a 1500-watt infrared quartz heater designed for ceiling or wall mounting in garages, workshops, and patios. It features a carbon fiber heating element that delivers 5200 BTU of output without requiring gas or flammable fuels. While it offers silent operation and flexible mounting, its limited coverage and installation requirements make it less suitable for standard living spaces.
The Cadet RMC151W is a compact, hard-wired electric wall heater designed to replace existing floor registers or fit into small wall cavities. It offers selectable wattage options but lacks the advanced digital controls and multi-volt flexibility of higher-end models. It is ideal for homeowners needing a simple, reliable heating solution for small rooms like bedrooms or bathrooms.
