If you're worried about spiralling energy costs this winter - but still want to save energy AND money at the same time - you need to look past the conventional ways to warm your home. Instead, it's time to turn your attention to "alternative heating methods" that will provide heat and also offer you a range of other modern smart home benefits as well.
Your home heating system is the biggest energy burden in your household, and probably one of the most significant strains on your bank account. Throughout the winter months, you'll be reaching for the thermostat dial more and more, and as unit prices continue to rise for gas and electricity, you need to be thinking smarter about how you keep your home cosy when temperatures begin to fall.
However, as technology progresses, so do the sleek, smart, cutting-edge heating options at your fingertips. Home heating is now all about cost-saving, energy-efficiency and portability, as well as creating a comfortable, clean and natural heating experience that is as pleasant as it is effective at keeping you warm.
In our latest blog, Eco Wizard will delve into the key benefits of investing in a high quality infrared heater for this winter and beyond. You'll be able to take full advantage of radiant infrared heating that surpasses that of basic convection heaters and generic household radiators.
How Do Infrared Heaters Work?
Infrared panel heaters will warm you up just like soothing natural sunlight does. The heaters work by transmitting heat through electromagnetic radiation, and because infrared is part of the electromagnetic spectrum, it is invisible and very warming on the skin, minus any of the harmful UV-rays of the sun.
Your IR heater transforms electricity into a radiant heat source but won't heat up the surrounding air. Instead, infrared waves bounce around the room and are absorbed by the people and objects within it. Infrared, therefore, has a number of assets that make it appealing to consumers.
Healthier
Infrared heaters can be a healthier alternative because they don't circulate warm air to heat up a room. Instead of pushing warm air around, which can trigger asthma and allergies or spread germs, infrared waves are simply absorbed by people and surrounding objects. If you suffer from a dry throat or dry skin, infrared may also alleviate these issues by heating your body instead of the air which is often stripped of moisture by generic heaters.
Infrared also works to reduce dampness, mould and other indoor issues related to moisture and air quality. By warming up walls and objects, infrared will target mould-prone surfaces and help to reduce associated allergies, irritation and infections.
You may also feel the benefits of improved blood circulation, relaxed muscles and the easing of joint pain as the infrared waves heat up your body.
Cost-Saving
Once installed, you could save up to 60% on energy bills compared to standard heating systems. Although infrared heaters are an investment, they consume far less electricity than conventional heating sources. In the long run, you'll notice cost savings that are greater than that of many common ways of heating your home.
Unrivalled Energy-Efficiency
Infrared panels convert nearly 100% of electricity into heat that will be felt and enjoyed by you. They're probably the most energy-efficient way of heating your home as they heat you and surrounding objects rather than simply warming the air
A Natural & Relaxing Heating Experience
The gentle, consistent, therapeutic heat of an infrared panel feels like you're lying in the warmth of the summer sun. The heat is instant. Simply plug in and flick the switch on your heater to start feeling the benefit right away. This natural way of heating is also matched by the completely silent operation that won't disturb you while you're working, relaxing or sleeping.
