Infrared heating is particularly effective in well-insulated or hard-to-heat spaces.
By warming building fabric, it can help keep internal surface temperatures above the dew point, reducing the risk of condensation and associated damp and mould issues.
Efficiency is achieved by:
With gas central heating, for example, heat loss is unavoidable through poorly insulated pipes, draughts, and ceilings, as it’s a convection-based system.
Because infrared heating doesn’t rely on warming the air via combustion, there is no heat loss.
This means they don’t need to work as hard as convection heaters of the same wattage.
Infrared heaters work independently of each other.
As a result, you use ‘zonal heating‘ to heat your property on a room-by-room basis.
They’re also ideal for open-plan living because you can put them in the busiest or coldest areas. This is also true for large commercial and outdoor areas that are extremely difficult to heat using conventional methods.
