King Radiant Heater

Radiant heat avoids heating the air in the room. Much like a campfire, radiant heaters instead warm people and objects in the room. They require a direct line of sight to provide this warmth. Infrared heaters use infrared radiation to provide heat. This infrared radiation transmits warmth using electromagnetic waves, not air currents. This means these heaters work well with people with allergies as they avoid stirring up dirt and dust in the home.

Unlike a baseboard heater, which installs on or near the floor, cove heaters typically install on the wall near the ceiling. This allows them to provide heat without having to worry about furniture blocking the path of the heater. Additionally, it means you don’t have to worry about furniture placement the same way you would with a baseboard heater. Baseboard heaters require around 12 inches of clearance, which can make placing your furniture tricky. Since cove heaters install near the ceiling, you no longer have to worry!

Available in a variety of wattage and voltage options, King Electric radiant heater units include their Smartwave carbon fiber options. These heaters, like this 1500W radiant heater, feature CarbonIQ, carbon fiber elements and produce high-output, medium-wave infrared heat energy with a visible orange glow. They feature less intense light than short-wave infrared units.

You can find single, double, and triple lamp options. They range in length from 24-inches, 42-inches, to 60-inches.

King Electric offers the KCV series alCove heater which provides warmth from above. These heaters combine the comfort of radiant heat with convection heat. They create a convection heat similar to a baseboard heater. This combination of heating allows for uniform heating. With no moving parts, these heaters offer a quiet and maintenance-free operation.

The King Electric KCV series mounts six feet above the floor, meaning they work well where in locations with limited wall space.
