Infrared Quartz Heaters

APS - What everyone is getting at and my concern was that an Infrared Heater is much more efficient at heating your personal body and objects within a room and not necessarily the "core" room temperature. I wanted a heater that brings up the room temp and is reflected in this by the thermostat in the room, I don't believe the infrared is the best choice for my needs. I currently use the oil filled type and was just shopping around for anything better. I'm going to look at ceramic with a fan that can blow the warm air, mine also doesn't do that.
