What is a Heater?

A space heater is a portable heating device designed to warm up small to medium-sized areas quickly and efficiently. Among the most energy-efficient types are infrared heaters, which use infrared radiation to heat objects and people directly—rather than just warming the air.

Infrared space heaters mimic the sun's natural warmth, delivering instant, targeted heat that's ideal for drafty rooms, home offices, conservatories, and garages. They’re silent, low-maintenance, and often more cost-effective than traditional convection heaters.

FAQ

What is an infrared space heater and how does it work?


Infrared heaters use radiant heat to warm people and objects directly, rather than heating the air. They work like the sun—producing instant, targeted warmth that’s efficient and comfortable.

How much area can a space heater cover?

Coverage depends on the heater’s wattage. A 1500W infrared heater typically heats around 15–20 square meters effectively.

Are infrared heaters more energy-efficient than traditional heaters?


Yes. Infrared heaters are generally more energy-efficient, especially for spot or zone heating, because they don’t waste energy heating unused airspace.

Can infrared heaters be wall-mounted?


Yes, many models—especially panel and bar heaters—are designed for wall mounting to save space and improve heat distribution.
