Infrared Heaters

Infrared Heaters

Electric, radiant space heating

While fan heaters warm up the air and circulate it to heat the room or space, an infrared heater offers a more direct heating system and solution. One does not warm the air — instead, it warms the room by heating walls, furniture, surfaces, and people within range. This process is achieved using electromagnetic radiation. The heaters transfer energy to any body with a lower temperature. The heat is stored within objects and then radiated out evenly to heat the room. This direct warmth is comfortable and practical. In addition, this heating process is natural and safe. It is the same heat you feel in the sunlight, but without harmful UV rays.

The way radiant heating works means it's far more efficient than other traditional forms of climate control. Systems that deliver heat through convection are simple and effective but wasteful. Heating the air to transfer heat isn't very efficient. The warmth can be lost if there is a breeze or draft. Heated air can escape through open doors and windows since warm air naturally moves to cooler spots. Heat also rises, so it can take more energy to heat spaces with high ceilings, and warmth can again escape, especially if the room isn't well insulated.

IR heaters are safe, cost-effective, and versatile. You can use them within indoor, outdoor, or semi-outdoor spaces. These radiant heaters are perfect for homes, offices, warehouses, church halls, patios, beer gardens, etc. As they are modern, they are compact, stylish, and suitable for easy DIY installation, even if they are wall-mounted. In addition, you can find portable freestanding, ceiling and wall-mounted, and hanging designs. There is also a market for infrared panel heaters and infrared radiators as alternatives to central heating systems.

A huge range of designs and sizes are available, and they are easy to integrate because they are quiet and discreet. Many radiant heaters feature low glare or no glare lamps. This means that the infrared light is subdued. There is either no light emitted, or there is just a gentle glow that complements the environment. The infrared heating elements can be made from ceramic, Quartz Tungsten, Quartz Halogen, or even metal wire depending on the model.

If you have one eye on saving costs, these units are highly recommended and worth considering. Radiant heaters are sustainable and energy-efficient, with low running costs and minimal maintenance after installation. You can control them by a thermostat or even smart apps as they are electric. You will have more control and can switch the heating off easily when it is not needed. You will save money and reduce waste. In addition, radiant heating creates less moisture than alternative methods. It is better for buildings, resulting in less humidity and condensation.

Indoor & outdoor heaters

You can find portable, wall-mount, and hanging heaters. They have sleek aesthetics and run silently to create a warm, inviting climate but do not disrupt a pleasant atmosphere. Portable models are perfect for workshops, garages, and sites. You can use them as emergency heaters or temporary heaters, especially during cold periods or when your usual system is not working. Mounted heaters are perfect for conservatories, patios, and decks. If you need to heat bigger spaces, we have industrial infrared heater models available. Heater panels can be ideal for more aesthetic areas, like bedrooms or display rooms.

Infrared diesel heaters

Diesel infrared heaters are perfect for commercial and industrial areas. They are easy to use, and you can instantly feel the dry, clean, radiant heat. These industrial and commercial infrared heaters create a warm, cosy environment that benefits contractors, staff, customers, and stock. They are versatile, portable, and robust. Infrared heaters powered by diesel or paraffin are very efficient and cost-effective concerning running over long periods.

These commercial and industrial infrared heaters warm areas without fans or air movement. They are perfect for professional on-site applications. You can use one in a workshop without noise or disturbing dust and blowing loose debris around the workspace. The wind does not affect radiant heat, which is ideal for outdoor use. These heaters are great for external construction work at night or during colder months. They are also compact enough for you to transport and carry with ease.

Do infrared radiant heaters use a lot of electricity?

These appliances don't use a lot of electricity. In fact, they use around 30-40% less energy than fan heaters and fuel-burning heaters with electric ignitions and fans. As you feel radiant heat directly and it doesn't heat the air, you only need to have your appliance on when you need it. IR heaters allow you to save on power use and energy costs, and they are more efficient than other forms of climate control.
