What is the best infrared heater?
The Dr Infrared Heater is the best infrared heater for those who want to heat small rooms with a small electric heater that’s not only efficient but easy on the eyes. The heater’s temperature ranges from 50 to 85 degrees, and its advanced dual heating systems increase the heat transfer rate and quickly warm up to 1,000 square feet.
How many watts does an infrared heater use?
Some infrared heaters can operate on as low as 300 watts of electricity and 800 watts is enough power to provide heating to a room. The reflective metal used in its design transfers almost 100 percent of the heat created.
What is an infrared space heater?
An infrared heater is a heater that uses a portion of the invisible light spectrum to heat another object using electromagnetic waves.
How much electricity does a radiant heater use?
Quartz infrared heaters use as much power as electric heaters with resistive elements. The energy consumption depends on the rating of the infrared element, and that is usually in the neighborhood of 750 to 1500 watts.
What is the difference between infrared and radiant heat?
The principles of radiant and infrared are similar but the difference really lies in the temperature . The shorter the electromagnetic wave length the higher the heat source. Therefore the longer radiant wavelength has lower temperatures in the 150⁰F range compared to the shorter infrared wavelength with temperatures in the 1000⁰F+ range.
Is electric radiant heat efficient?
Electric radiant heaters create radiant heat, which is more energy-efficient than other heating systems. Much like heat from the sun, the energy emitted from the Comfort Cove® radiant electric heater warms people, objects, and the floor in the room directly, which helps to significantly save on energy costs.
