Infrared space heaters offer a space-saving way to heat a room or single zone. They provide an energy efficient alternative to traditional space heaters. Also known as infrared radiant heat, infrared heaters use infrared light waves to provide heat. Unlike other heater types, which heat the air in the room, infrared heaters warm the objects and people in its line of sight, not the air itself. They use 100 percent of the heat they generate, meaning they’re highly efficient!
Additionally, because they don’t move air around, they don’t dry the air out. They also don’t kick up dust like a heater that blows air, making them a good heating solution for people with allergies.
Infrared heaters work best for room or zone heating instead of heating an entire home. Because they heat people and objects, they avoid wasting energy by trying to heat the air. This also means that the closer you sit, the more warmth you’ll feel from the heater. They offer a variety of other benefits as well, including:
However, they can pose a safety issue. The coils of the heater get extremely hot which is hazardous around children and pets. Many manufacturers now make units enclosed in cabinets, automatic shut-off, or emergency tip-over switches to add safety for these types of heaters. Additionally, while an infrared heater works well to instantly heat a space, they also stop heating as soon as you turn it off.
