What is Infrared Heat & How Does It Work?
Infrared heaters offer a compelling solution for efficient heating, surpassing conventional heaters in several key aspects. Their ability to emit directional heat ensures that warmth is directed precisely where it’s needed, minimizing energy wastage by avoiding heating unoccupied areas. Additionally, infrared heaters provide an even distribution of warmth throughout space, eliminating cold spots and creating a consistently comfortable environment. These factors, coupled with their quick warm-up times and energy-saving capabilities, make them a superior choice for anyone seeking to reduce energy costs while maintaining optimal heating performance.
How Does Infrared Heater Efficiency Compare to Traditional Heaters?
Let’s talk about traditional heaters first to understand the mechanics and functions of it. Traditional heaters rely on air to move heat in the area. Generally, the heat dissipates in the air shortly after and it is more difficult to keep warm during windy weather. Whereas infrared heating uses technology by wavelengths to deliver heat energy and effectively warm a space. Even with wind, heat will not dissipate.
Directional Heat
Infrared radiation travels in a specific direction and is absorbed by objects, walls, and individuals in its trajectory. Consequently, this direct absorption warms up the room without depending solely on the air, which may be lost due to drafts or cold spots. By prioritizing the direct warming of objects, infrared heaters offer a more precise form of heating. This targeted approach helps maintain comfort levels efficiently and for longer durations compared to convection heaters.
Even Distribution of Warmth
Infrared heaters are not affected by the elements or wind, objects within the path of infrared heaters retain the heat emitted and then radiate it back into the room, resulting in a uniform and even distribution of warmth. Due to even warming through the space, this helps heating bills as it takes less energy to constantly maintain warmth.
Zoned Heating
Thanks to their focused heating approach, you can pinpoint specific areas without dispersing heat indiscriminately throughout the entire room. In larger or irregularly shaped rooms, strategically positioning multiple heaters toward primary living spaces enables precise heating without wasting energy
How Much Does It Cost to Run an Infrared Outdoor Heater?
Infrared outdoor heaters run on either gas or electric fuel, as this can vary and so does the cost.
Do Infrared Heaters Use a Lot of Electricity?
Infrared heaters are known for their energy efficiency, consuming approximately 30% less energy compared to traditional heating systems. The electricity consumption of an infrared heater is contingent upon its wattage and duration of operation.
How Do Electric Infrared Heaters Compare to Gas Infrared Heaters?
This will all depend on the needs of your space. Both fuel types offer the same comfort and warmth to any outdoor area.
What is the Most Efficient Way to Heat a Patio?
Outdoor elements like wind can pose challenges for patio heating. However, infrared outdoor heaters tackle this issue adeptly by utilizing technology that efficiently warms a space through radiant heat.
