How infrared heating works

Infrared heating warms people and objects directly rather than relying solely on warming the surrounding air. Objects absorb the emitted heat and can then release warmth into the surrounding space. This makes infrared heating an option for areas where insulation is difficult or ventilation is necessary, including halls, churches and historic buildings.

Running costs depend on the selected power setting, operating time and your electricity tariff. Heating performance also depends on the layout and conditions of the installation area.
