As temperatures start to cool many Western New Yorkers might be thinking about how to pay those high heating bills.

Comfort Zone is a new invention released just this year that could save you thousands of dollars. Michael McGreevy is bringing this heating unit to the area.

"The most efficient way to turn electricity to heat. You just plug it in and turn it on," said Comfort Zone WNY Representative McGreevy.

Comfort Zone uses infrared rays, a natural heat source.

"It's not the harmful ultraviolet rays. Infrared rays naturally heat the earth. It heats objects as opposed to just blowing hot air in the room, so in turn those objects are then able to radiate heat back into room, so it's a very even, comfortable heat," said McGreevy.

No flames or fumes. "It has a filter in the back and also as the air passes through the chamber where the heat is created it also filters off impurities," said McGreevy.

Comfort Zone also promises to maintain moisture levels in the air.

"Many forms of heat take the moisture out of the air and lead to dry skin and bloody noses," said McGreevy.

One unit warms up to 1000 square feet.

"So from the downside of it, it's not going to heat your whole house, it'll just heat the space you're living in. The good side is your providing heat where you spend most of your time is a great way to save energy," said Buffalo Energy Consultant Fred Fellendorf.

"It's extremely efficient, pennies per hour to run," said McGreevy.

Actually 12 to 14 cents an hour, $2 a day. Comfort Zone uses 1500 watts, less than what your coffee maker does.

The unit retails for about $500. You can find them at hardware stores or fireplace and hearth shops.

"It pays for itself in literally two months," said McGreevy. Just when you thought it couldn't do more, "It actually promotes cardiovascular circulation as well. So it helps to move your blood through your body more effectively," said McGreevy.

The makers of Comfort Zone say it has a fire proof box. For example, even if it were to fall on a mattress it wouldn't start a fire.
