You probably know that in order to make the right choice of which heating system to use, you need to observe several basic points, as well as answer some questions. What expenses will I have to spend, what is healthy, how does it affect the environment, is it safe to use, does it create comfort, does it emit harmful emissions, will it be effective and much more?

The development and modernization of technologies in this field provide us with more and more new solutions in this field, but how to choose the most correct one according to your requirements?

Traditional heating is a good solution, but you cannot be sure that it is the best.

And maybe it’s time to turn to infrared heating, or as some call it – the heating of the third millennium.

You may increasingly find heating systems with infrared lamps in homes, offices, as well as in open spaces such as gardens, terraces, verandas, pubs and restaurants.

You’ve probably noticed how the sun warms objects during summer days. On the same principle, infrared heaters, through electromagnetic waves, warm furniture, objects, walls and even you, instead of heating the air in the surrounding space.

 

You will certainly feel good, energetic while moving, as the heat spreads evenly throughout the room. You simply turn on the heater and the heat produced spreads instantly.

Infrared heaters improve blood circulation by dilating blood vessels and boosting your immune system.

It is a known fact that some doctors even use infrared heating panels to treat cardiovascular diseases.

With infrared heating, you can also solve problems with mold , because heated objects retain heat for a relatively long time and thus remain dry. Mold cannot grow in dry places.

In addition, the air in the room does not move and there is no dust circulation. This can help reduce allergies and create a healthier environment for people with asthma, breathing difficulties or chronic aspiration diseases.

Infrared heaters are mainly found with carbon filament heaters, which are extremely strong and at the same time elastic and allow them to be heated to high temperatures, with their surface reaching 100ᴼC-120ᴼC.

Another type is halogen heaters, which are quartz heaters with halogen gas. With them, the surface temperature can reach 800ᴼС-900ᴼС.

Infrared heating vs traditional heating: which is the healthier option?

Traditional heaters simply heat the air in the surrounding space , with the upper air rising to the ceiling and pushing the cold air down. In this way, there will constantly be cold air that needs to be warmed up again and again. This would be a particularly big problem for rooms with high ceilings, such as gyms for example. You also have to keep in mind that the heat is near the ceiling and you are closer to the ground where the colder air is.

 

Let’s summarize what are the main advantages of infrared heating:

A healthy and natural environment – The air remains almost still – there is no swirling of dust and germs. The walls are always slightly warmer than the air and no condensation forms.

Less moisture, mold and mildew – The air is not dried, its indirect heating allows maintaining the required level of oxygen and moisture in the room. The microclimate is healthy and natural.

Comfortable warmth . The temperature differences in the room, characteristic of classic heating systems, are significantly reduced, which eliminates the “cold feet – warm head” effect.

Energy saving . Over 90% of the electrical energy used by infrared heaters is converted into heat.

No maintenance or service required . Refueling, cleaning and maintenance are not required.

Without carbon emissions and waste , which makes them harmless to the environment.

Infrared heating is widely used both in closed and semi-open and open spaces : for the home, restaurants, hotels, bars, greenhouses, factories, exhibition halls, offices, fitness centers, smoking areas and terraces.
