What makes infrared heaters different from the rest?

An infrared heaters is unlike any other heater on the market. While many gas and electric heaters heat a room by warming the air around it, an infrared heater works through radiation. This type of heat is similar to how the sun operates because heat passes from the warm object to the cool one without touching it.

Electromagnetic energy moves from the warm object to the cool one so you can feel warm no matter what the temperature is around you. This is great because a draft in the room or someone opening and closing the door nearby will have no effect on how warm you feel. Plus, infrared heat will warm the objects (or people) nearby almost instantly. It's perfect for outdoor events, patios, and small spaces indoors.

Something else you may not be aware of is how many types of infrared heaters are out there. Quartz tube heaters are often found in outdoor spaces like pergolas and terraces. Plaque heaters are what some people refer to as "box heaters". They are typically found in outdoor areas because they operate at high temperatures.
