The Heat Storm HS-1000-WX-WIFI is a compact, wall-mounted infrared heater designed for efficient zone heating in small spaces. It features Wi-Fi connectivity for smart app control and silent operation, making it ideal for bedrooms.

It is best suited for contractors and DIYers with access to high-voltage power.
