The range of electric heaters also includes infrared heaters. In order to be able to produce heat efficiently, we use modern infrared technology and help save electricity costs. Anyone looking for alternative heating systems today cannot ignore innovative infrared heaters. When professionally installed, infrared heating systems enable a cost reduction of up to 30% compared to outdated heating systems. The energy efficiency of these systems is high, as only very short preheating times are required to bring infrared heating up to performance. The modern systems have attractive, different designs and offer several advantages.
The heating systems are able to adapt to the respective room. The systems can, for example, be mounted on the ceiling or integrated into the room as an additional home accessory. The heat generated by an infrared heater spreads evenly throughout the room and ensures pleasant temperatures. The principle and heat distribution are similar to those of a tiled stove. Infrared heaters can be used both inside rooms and outside apartments and houses - e.g. B. on balconies and terraces. The systems use infrared rays, more specifically electromagnetic waves, to generate heat.
This means you not only heat cheaply and efficiently, but also safely and without any health risks. With high-quality infrared heaters, a health risk from electrosmog is almost impossible because the magnetic fields in these devices cancel each other out. The infrared heating is regulated via a radio thermostat, which is controlled with the help of a transmitter and a receiver. Infrared rays are comparable to the sun's rays. The air is not heated, as is the case with conventional heaters, but surfaces are illuminated, the heat radiation of which ensures heating of the environment or the room. Thermal radiation only affects solid and liquid bodies. All solid bodies in the room absorb heat radiation from the infrared heater and then release it evenly into the surroundings.
Today it is possible to adapt the heating systems to the furnishings or equipment of the room. The devices are offered in numerous different designs. Anyone interested in modern heating systems should contact oneInfrared heater manufacturer(such as Welltherm) or a local specialist company. It is not advisable to buy directly from various online shops because the appropriate performance design often fails. The designs of the inconspicuous infrared heaters range from simple metal heaters in white to so-called picture heaters with an individually printed image motif on the front. Typical shapes for e.g. B. the kitchen area or the office are panel infrared heaters. There are also mirror infrared heaters, which are particularly suitable for bathrooms, as well as glass infrared heaters, which find a suitable place in outdoor areas and winter gardens, among other things.
If you use infrared heating appropriately, you can achieve savings. However, in almost all cases there should be sufficientInsulation of the respective buildingbe ensured. It's about thermal efficiency and maintaining the heat produced in the room, apartment or house. Another place where infrared heaters can be used is in rarely used rooms or holiday homes. Where there is little need for heating or where the installation of a complex heating system is too expensive, this is the ideal place for an infrared heater. But no matter where the alternative heating system is used, there are always some advantages to using an infrared heater:
- Low risk of fire
- Little energy required due to direct radiation
- There is no dirt such as dust, ash or other dirt
- Long service life
- Low installation effort
- Can be used as a decorative element
Despite all the advantages, anyone who is faced with the choice of using one should correctly assess their living situation. Heating an entire old building is not free, even with highly efficient infrared heating technology. The use of previously carried out thermal insulation makes sense in many cases. The exact calculation of the required power is one of the key success factors when installing an infrared heater. You should definitely leave this to a specialist so that you don't freeze later or incur unnecessary heating costs.
