Additionally, they do not pose a fire hazard and extremely low maintenance. This means you can keep them on without running up massive energy bills, which invariably will be the case with traditional electric convection heaters. Check out our FAQ's below.
Are infrared heaters cheaper than central gas heating and traditional heaters? Since they warm only specific areas and objects, you don't waste energy heating an entire room.
There's also no need to preheat a room since these heaters work instantly. Some use only 300 watts of electricity and almost 100 percent of the heat created is transferred out, so you can get super-efficient heating for a very low cost. You can set each heater to the required temperature in the room or zones. This is why they are so popular in warm European countries who want different temperatures in different rooms. They also offer a dry heat rather than a humid environment.
Create a heat that is very similar to the sun. Infrared light isn't visible because it's beyond the spectrum we see. That invisible light gets absorbed by our skin, clothes and other objects, which is how things around an infrared heater warm up. While it's true that some forms of EM Radiation like ultraviolet and x-rays can be harmful, infrared is the same type of wave that our own Sun employs to heat the Earth. Remember that visible light (the light we can see) is also a type of electromagnetic radiation and this, like infrared, is 100% safe too.Most heaters work through convection, gradually heating the surrounding air, but. Emit a precise beam of heat that warms you directly by throwing out a steady stream of heat particles. You don't have to wait to warm up with you step in from the cold, like with ordinary heaters. You warm up rapidly, with fast acting heat rays that dispel the cold. They're also great if you're sitting on the couch or at your desk because their heat is focused on you and not the entire room.
Infrared heaters work silently since they don't use a fan - they just radiate light! They're great for noise-sensitive environments such as bedrooms. Infrared heaters are also actually "healthier" than other heaters since they do not reduce humidity or oxygen content in the room.Other heaters can dry out your sinuses and skin, as well as cause static electricity. Since these heaters produce the same type of heat as the sun, you can enjoy the benefits of natural sunlight without the dangerous effects of UV radiation. The infrared heat will even promote healthier blood circulation.
Infrared heaters won't add any pollutants in your room. They operate without any carbon combustion, no toxic-by-products, no open flames and no fuel lines.
Essentially, infrared heaters don't add anything to the air, and they don't take anything from the air. Since there are no moving parts, there's no motor to wear out, air filters to replace or lubrication required. All you have to do is periodically wipe it down to keep it looking nice and clean.
New modern panel designs for infrared mean these slim heaters don't take up loads of space and look stylish in your home compared to the outdated heaters we have been using. Are Infrared Heaters for You?
Have many cost and health benefits. It provides more comfortable warmth since it does not heat the air, and is cheap and efficient to use. New safety features also make many models safe to use in homes with children or pets.
Where should I put the heater? Infrared panels do not require any pipe work for installation, or fuel storage facilities. This means that electric heating panels can be placed wherever you wish - either high on the wall or even on the ceiling. It's important to remember that infrared heaters in your home will only warm areas directly in front of it.
For example, it's warmer in direct sunlight than in the shade because the shade blocks out a lot of the light. Infrared heaters should be placed in the best position to heat relevant objects.This means they are better on a ceiling or a wall, but the heaters can be used with legs if the place in the correct position to heat the objects in front of it. Note: if you are looking to suspend the panel from the ceiling you may need a qualified electrician to fit this, as the wiring will need to be integrated into your existing electrical system. Otherwise, just suspending on walls ensures the panel is near a wall socket. Please see a link below to find a certified electrician near you.
