Dyna-Glo IR30NMDG-1 30,000 BTU Natural Gas Infrared Wall Heater

I purchased this heater to throw some heat into my basement during the colder times of the year. My basement stays the same temperature all year round for the most part at around 60-70 degrees but it's those 60 degree days I wanted to tame a bit. I hooked this heater into my natural gas line and the radiant infrared heat this heater puts out is impressive! It has 5 ceramic heating elements and can be adjusted to run either one, three or all five at one time. It has a controlled pilot flame with auto shutoff. I added the optional fan to improve circulation which it did do and the auto feature is very functional. I have a gas/C02 detector right above this unit and at full blast I get no alarms. Very impressive for a ventless heater as it sports a better than 99% efficiency rating. It is extremely well built and hanging it on the wall was a breeze as the bracket is well designed and provides a solid hanging base. For the money this heater is a steal and I highly recommend it!

Update: The ignition switch broke and I could no longer turn the gas on. Buying a new one. Disappointing. 2022. Surprising powerful. It’s actually outside on my enclosed deck. It made the 20 degree night bearable. My 15x13 tarp and polycarbonate sheet enclosed deck was able to go from 20 to 50 degrees without any additional heat other than this 30000 btu unit. I then cranked on my propane fire pit and some hanging Heatstrip brand heaters to add another 25 to 30 degrees. After an hour it was a toasty 75 to 80 degrees with snow and high winds all around.The heat from this unit goes up more than I expected. Especially with the additional fan added. But it does heat up as designed. Items within 5 feet in front were at 125 degrees. Those items about 10 feet away were around 80 degrees. It is slow to warm the surrounding items. It took about 45 minutes to fully warm the deck up the 30 degrees I mentioned. It does not smell like gas at all and made no noise other than the fan. And the fan is not loud. I could easily hear my tv that was only 7 feet away. It blows air. Not a ton. But it does move air. It’s bigger and thicker than I wanted, but it does the job nicely. And cheap for 30 k btu. I will remove it in the spring. But for now, I like it. It worked as planned.

Does a nice job. I don't think it puts out as much heat as the blue flame heater it replaced, but most of that heat went to the ceiling and up the stairs so the end result is this one does a better job heating the downstairs. It may use less gas to heat, but I'll have to wait for my gas bill to see. There was concern with this heater as to if it put too much water in the air and I found that concern to be unfounded. Because I saw it as a concern I got a thermomter with a humidity guage and found the humidity in my home is too low. I went out and bought a room humidifier a week ago and it has been running non-stop for almost a week and the humidity is still only about 24%, and it should be 30%-50% for the most comfort so I would not worry about the moister this heater gives off as a by-product. I use it as my primary heat source with my central heat as a backup source for those cold days/nights so it is going full blast 24/7

Great heater recommend getting the optional fan didn't try it with out but for the price worth having some circulation with it. Heats up little addition about 15x30 no problem on low to medium depending on temps single to low teens medium over 30 low. Not sure yet on cost to run been less than a month

The heater works well and puts out a lot of heat. However I had to take it apart and adjust the thermocouple before it would stay lit. It was in the wrong position from the factory. I do highly recommend the optional fan upgrade.This heater does work to heat half my house when the power is off. I recommend it for a main or a backup source of heat.

3rd time trying to offer review , refused 2x so ill just say i wouldnt buy this again even at half the price

100% worth every single penny, I got it for 123 because the box was damaged and the heater had a small dent. Hooked up great, took a few times to light because brand new ones do. So worth it.

Works real well just remember that you'll have to buy the extras that don't come with it it don't come with feet and it don't come with the fan and it don't come with any parts to hook up to your gas line so you'll need to make sure you buy all that but it's a really good eater when you get it all hooked up
