The only "true story" of the original heat source that is now called the Solar Comfort Zone Furnace starts back in the 70's, when John Paul Jones was experimenting with designs to heat an old Victorian home in the Springfield, Missouri area.

     He captured the idea of combining 4- 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 Mr. Jones' 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).

     After these miraculous results, Jan immediately took this product to the air waves with live talk show format in Kansas City and the heater became an instant winner with the Kansas and Missouri residents. The talk show celebrities that launched this product have become a blueprint for other talk show stations all over the United States and Canada.

     John Paul Jones passed away in 1999 and would have been proud of his invention if he could have been in the Easy Living Store the Saturday they sold over 564 units of his product from 6 am to 4 pm with a live broadcast.

     However, at the same time, he would be very upset if he knew well-known celebrities were using his name to promote a competing heater with a totally different design. This imitation doesn't even come close to the performance of the Solar Comfort Zone Heater.

     John Paul Jones' invention lives on and is used by thousands of very satisfied customers who thank him every time they pay their heating bills. The Solar Comfort Zone Furnace is manufactured and distributed by Sun Cloud in Lenexa, Kansas.
