Dr. Infrared Heater DR-298 Carbon Infrared Heater
A useful fit: A buyer who needs quiet radiant heat, including a dry outdoor floor arrangement with the manual’s required GFCI protection, or a properly bracketed indoor wall/ceiling installation. Choose only the actual mounting plan: the floor setup’s tip-over behavior does not carry over to bracket installation.
Why it fits these needs
- The manufacturer confirms outdoor operation for this arrangement.
- Supported arrangement: DR-298 outdoor floor setup on stable base with a GFCI-protected supply; no wet/near-water location
- Meets your choice: Where must this heater be usable?: Outdoors
The tradeoff: The carbon element supplies fanless radiant heat rather than circulated warm air. Floor clearance is three feet from combustibles; wall/ceiling installation has separate surface and height limits, disables tip-over protection, and needs the included bracket. The six-hour timer is a shutoff, not a delayed-start or unattended-use permit. No bathroom or near-water use is documented.
