My room is 16 x 25 and 3 sides are screened. Also this room gets virtually no sun since our house is built into the side of a hill and the screened room is in the back.

I'm looking for the type that mount to the ceiling or wall, something like this:

Those IR heaters you have in the OP work really well. I would direct them a little more to the center though.

Make sure you have a high enough ceiling for them though. If they aren't high enough, people near them will get real hot, real fast.

Can't tell if you're talking gas or electric, but I will tell you of you go electric, you will need a dedicated line for their use. They pull serious amps.

was originally thinking gas but everything i read says the infrared are far better at heating an area of the room and at 1500 watts, only costs maybe 30 cents/hr to operate.

i'll need 2 and yes i definitely understand i'm going to need an electrician to run a dedicated 240 to the circuit breaker.

I have the ones in the picture you posted. The brand is Infratech. They work great. I have two for my patio that is approximately 16 x 32.
