Infrared Panels: What actually are they?

As technology has progressed, so has the technology used in the heating industry. One such advance in this industry is the utilisation of infrared radiation to create heat. Infrared heat can be used domestically through different sized panels which emit heat into the surrounding area. Although it sounds complex and futuristic, infrared is probably a lot simpler and more common than you think.

Infrared Heating – From Panels to Patio Heaters

Why are so many consumers turning to infrared heaters for their homes and businesses? They’re heating products that still mystify the majority of people but once you grasp their basic principle, their advantages quickly become apparent. Infrared heaters use radiation to warm people, surfaces and objects directly, providing a comforting sensation of heat that can be felt on a deeper level rather than through the movement of warm air. For the uninitiated, words like ‘infrared’ and ‘radiation’ can make these heaters sound a bit sci-fi, but in reality, their heating method couldn’t be more simple.

The Running Costs of Outdoor Infrared Heaters

Although several of us will find any excuse to spend time in the garden or eat outside at restaurants, the weather is usually too cold to allow this. The bitter winter months are far from welcoming while the long summer evenings can get chilly quite quickly. For this reason, both commercial businesses and domestic properties buy outdoor heaters to provide ample amounts of warmth, even when external temperature is somewhat off-putting. Even so, one thing that puts some people off is the running costs associated with outdoor heaters. Pub landlords and restaurateurs will want to protect profit margins, as today’s economy and market conditions can change at a moment’s notice. Then again, homeowners will be conscious of pricey utility bills, which could skyrocket with an added heating expense. Thankfully, outdoor infrared heaters can provide sufficient warmth to paying patrons and party guests without the worry of paying out significant sums of money. But what exactly are the running costs of outdoor infrared heaters?
