Unlike convection heaters, which use a blower, radiant heaters us an element or quartz rod. Radiant heaters use a heating element to warm people and objects in the room without giving off warm air, keeping the temperature consistent. A single element heater offers a convenient way to heat spaces such as a home office. Dual element and triple element heaters use two or three elements to reach the desired temperature. Radiant heating saves on the cost of installing two single-element heaters to heat more square feet.
Types of radiant heaters include hydronic and electric space heaters, which can be fueled in a variety of ways including oil-filled radiators and natural gas. A radiant heater delivers a farther outreach for a lesser cost, perfect for large spaces, such as a garage. Radiant heaters work best as an energy efficient option in spaces used for an intermittent period of time.
Different options for mounting include surface, flush, and recessed.
A wall-mounted heater saves space and emits the best head-to-toe balance. Choose this option for spaces which children or pets often occupy. A recessed mount goes inside the wall, leaving more room than a surface mount in small spaces, while providing better head-to-toe balance than a flush mount.
