Infrared space heaters

One of the greatest advantages these types of heaters have is that they use far less energy than radiant heaters.  Anyone who has been using radiant heaters can attest to the fact that they are huge electricity suckers.  Infrared heat uses about 1500 watts to run a small unit, which is about the equivalent to what a small kitchen appliance would use.  You will save a great deal of money in the long run with this kind of heat and once you start using this type of heater, you will be pleasantly surprised with your low electricity bills over the winter months where we spend the most money to keep warm.

These heaters last a lot longer than radiant heaters, and so they are not taking up landfills because they are built to last.  The heat produced is clean and does not consume oxygen.  In your home air environment, it is healthier to have negative ions, and a radiant heater actually produces positive ions, which is not a desired effect.  If the air in your home has too many positive ions, it can cause fatigue, migraine headaches, arthritis, trigger allergy attacks, cause you to become anxious and can lead to insomnia.  Traditional space heaters tend to use up oxygen and dehumidify your room.

The heat produced by an infrared system heats everything up evenly, and can be extremely therapeutic.  They use the same type of system as spas and saunas, and heat up quickly, with much less use of energy.  Traditional heating systems do not heat evenly, leaving different temperatures in different levels of your room, so that there can be a major temperature difference from the floor to the ceiling, which produces static electricity and allows condensation to form on windows.  Instead, the heat is evenly distributed from floor to ceiling and throughout the room, and there are no differentials in temperature.

The comfortable and even temperature is produced in waves, and can have a positive effect on your mood, your physical health, and can help to reduce joint pain and muscle spasms.  Traditional heat sources work on heating up the entire room, where an infrared system actually heats the objects in the room, including your body, and it works to distribute heat evenly.

Infrared space heaters have only been around for a few years but they are quickly gaining popularity because of their economical operation and positive health effects.  If you have any concerns over how this kind of heater works, you would be doing yourself a great favor by simply trying one out for a month or so to see how you like it.  Many people find they love the comforting way that these heaters warm them right to the core, and they just feel better, physically, after using the heater in their home for a short time.
