The Ultimate Guide to Infrared Heaters: How to Stay Warm and Save Energy

Are you tired of high energy bills and struggling to keep warm during the winter months? Look no further than infrared heaters, the ultimate solution for staying cosy while saving energy. 

In this ultimate easy to understand guide, we'll take you through everything you need to know about infrared heaters - from how they work, their benefits, different types available, to tips for choosing the right one for your space. So, say goodbye to chilly days and high energy bills, and embrace the warmth and energy efficiency of infrared heaters.

How Do Infrared Heaters Work?

Infrared heaters work by emitting infrared rays through electromagnetic waves. This radiant heat is not visible to the naked eye but can be felt as heat and is safe for humans. When the infrared radiation comes into contact with an object, it heats it up directly, this is different from traditional heaters that warm the air, which then heats the objects and people in the room. In order to fully comprehend this concept, it is important to understand the science behind infrared heating and how it differs from convection heat.

Energy Efficiency of Infrared Panel Heaters

In terms of energy efficiency, infrared panel heaters excel by converting nearly 100% of the energy they consume into heat. This means that very little energy is wasted, resulting in significant energy savings for you while having minimal impact on the environment. These electric heaters do not release harmful fumes nor contribute any emissions into the atmosphere, making them ideal choices for individuals looking for a more greener eco friendly way to warm up their space.

Cost Savings With Infrared Heating

Compared to traditional heating methods, the cost savings with infrared heating are substantial due to their exceptional energy efficiency. Here are three reasons why infrared heating provides significant cost savings:

  1. Energy Bill Savings: Infrared heaters target heat where needed, saving up to 60% energy compared to conventional methods
  2. Heating Efficiency: High efficiency means more heat for less energy.
  3. Return on Investment: While the initial cost of installing infrared panel heaters may be higher than traditional heating systems, the long-term cost savings quickly outweigh the upfront investment. With reduced energy consumption and lower maintenance costs, you can expect a significant return on investment over time.

Choosing the right size and power for your infrared heater

Use a Wattage Calculator to determine the appropriate heater size for your space. Consider the room's dimensions, ceiling height, and insulation quality to ensure optimal performance. Remember, It's better to have a slightly larger heater than one that is too small, as an undersized heater may struggle to adequately heat the space
