About Infrared Heat

On a sunny winter day, the ambient temperature is cold but you feel the heat rays warming you from the sun.

That, is what infrared heat is. Infrared heat is available in High Intensity (lower footprint) or Low Intensity

(tube heaters) and are typically gas, although electric is available. Units can be installed indoors

or outdoors; perimeter heat or heating the whole space.

Why Use Infrared Heaters Instead of Forced Air?

Delivering radiant energy is far more efficient than heating up air and blowing it down onto people and things. As much as 80% of the heat generated by forced air is wasted. It floats back up to the ceiling, gets vented to the outside.
