Dr. Heater DR-968H Space Heater

The DR-968H combines infrared quartz tubes with a PTC (Positive Temperature Coefficient) heating element. This hybrid approach allows the unit to heat objects directly with infrared warmth while simultaneously circulating heated air via the PTC element for faster, more consistent room coverage.

The built-in humidifier is designed to add moisture to the air as it heats, which helps prevent the dry, stuffy feeling common with traditional space heaters. The frequency of refills depends on your usage and the humidity settings, but it is intended to provide supplemental moisture during operation.

This model is equipped with both overheat protection and tip-over protection, which automatically shuts the unit down if it gets too hot or is accidentally knocked over. It is also cUL/UL listed, ensuring it meets rigorous safety standards.

Yes, the unit features a 12-hour automatic shut-off timer. You can program it to run for a specific duration, which is ideal if you want to heat a room before bed without leaving the unit running all night.

No, the DR-968H is designed for convenience and plugs directly into a standard 120V household outlet. It operates at a maximum of 1500 watts, which is standard for most residential circuits.

While it weighs 26 pounds, it is designed with portability in mind. The compact dimensions allow it to fit easily in most rooms, though you may want to keep it in a central location rather than moving it frequently.
