Way back in the 1970s, a man named John Paul Jones was experimenting with infrared heater designs to heat an old Victorian home in the Springfield, Missouri area. He captured the idea of combining four 375 watt infrared heating lamps
located directly below a specifically designed special metal heat
exchanger with 204 hollow, bent and crimped end ferrel tubes. The
results were incredibly successful.
The clock then fast forwards to 1985. Mr. Jones has a chance meeting with Jan Mohr, the owner of the Easy Living Store, in Johnson County, Kansas. Jan’s family had just moved into a custom built home in Overland Park and could not heat their finished 1100 sq. ft. basement. They tried numerous so-called space heaters with absolutely no success. Just by luck, on a cold October day, Jan agreed to try this “wood box” made by John Paul Jones and the result was incredible – the unit heated the entire basement evenly from floor to ceiling (by the way, that exact same unit is still in the basement, and for over 20 years they have been able to leave the upstairs thermostat at 68 degrees instead of the 85 degree setting they were using previous to the use of the Solar Comfort heater).
After these miraculous results, Jan immediately took this product to the air waves with a live talk show format in Kansas City and the heater became an instant winner with the Kansas and Missouri residents. John Paul Jones passed away in 1999, but his invention lives on and is used by thousands of very satisfied customers who thank him every time they pay their heating bills.
