Portable Electric Personal Space Heater Sales Heat Up ‘Minority Operated Women Owned small business’ News

This winter experts predict major increases in home heating cost to drive the sale of portable electric personal space heaters to a new high. Just like ice melt sales (see http://www.prleap.com/pr/19714/), heater sales are big business each winter. This article lists the top 10 reasons why the portable electric personal space heater will be the consumers’ choice this winter, and then shares how one Detroit area Minority Operated Women Owned small business” (MOWOsb) will participate.

Portable electric personal space heaters will be the consumers’ choice because they are:
1) the number one choice for supplemental home heating according to the most recent U.S. Census Bureau American Housing Survey.
2) safe when used properly since they consume no oxygen and are required to meet strict new local codes.
3) effective in reducing home heating bills when used for supplemental heating to only heat a room when occupied. Running a 1000-watt heater for 10 hours a day to maintain personal comfort adds up to about $18 a month. Since every degree you lower the central heating saves 3%, the $18 a month cost is easily offset.
4) efficient because they covert 100% of electric energy to heat.
5) clean heat with no pollutants released into the air.
6) using the electricity infrastructure, which is readily available and requires no storage of fuel.
7) able to use renewable sources of electricity when purchased by those that feel strongly about the environment.
8) using the energy form which had the lowest rate increase of all energy forms this winter with electricity increasing only 11% while natural gas increased by 52%.
9) less expensive ($40 to $180 range) than other supplemental or main home heating systems to purchase.
10)portable and available to meet the customers needs in either radiant or convective models.

Recognizing that portable electric personal space heaters will be needed in greater numbers this winter to offset the higher energy cost, one Detroit area MOWOsb, Donson Supply, Inc.*, has updated its Internet site with the latest models of portable electric personal space heaters at new sale prices. The new sale rolls pricing back to below calendar year 2003 pricing. While all consumers will need to cope with the higher energy prices this winter, the Donson Supply customers will not see higher prices on these portable electric personal space heaters.

The portable electric personal space heaters are designed for renters/office workers who don’t have access to the thermostat around their living area or desk and/or for homeowners who want to keep the central heating set lower than comfort level. For this reason, Donson Supply recommends to their customers that the portable electric personal space heaters be used for supplemental heating only.

Released by Donson Supply, Inc. to announce that they have decided to fight the gas price increases with carryover prices on portable electric personal space heaters.
