TACKLE WINTER WITH INFRARED LAMPS

Infrared lamps have been the central point of the heating market for many years. This is where infrared heating is ready to take the reins. As winter approaches, the time has come to start thinking about how you will warm up your home during the colder months. With infrared, you can make your life easier and enjoy a comfortable heat that can also help you save on heating bills. Read on to find out why you should install an infrared lamp in your home this winter!

THE IMPORTANCE OF KEEPING YOUR HOME WARM

Not only is a warm home a happy home, but keeping your home cosy has proven benefits for physical and mental health. Winter can be a harsh time, especially for the vulnerable. That is why it is essential to keep your home well heated at all times. This will be especially easy to do with infrared heating. By heating objects inside the room with infrared waves at a distance, they will remain warm due to the thermal mass created. This allows the rooms and atmosphere to stay warm for longer, which is difficult to do with traditional heat sources.

Your home should be heated to at least 18°C, which can be easily done with our range of infrared lamps. It is best to keep the house above this temperature to avoid illness and help productivity and mental health. It is known that a cold, dull house reduces full mental function, often worsening mental illness. The same applies to physical diseases too! The cold can often deplete your immune system, whereas staying warm can help strengthen it. Infrared heating also has many health benefits. These include: increased blood flow, improved immune system and reduced inflammation.

Since infrared heats the mass inside the room rather than the air, your heating will not be affected by air currents. This is a common problem with conventional radiators because they heat the air, so the heat is lost from air streams and open doors. As a result, the heating will have to be switched on longer and at a higher temperature to compensate for this, hiking electricity bills.

ELEGANT HEATING

Besides being known to be aesthetically wanting, old-school heaters above all take up a lot of space. This is another advantage of infrared technology. Stylish, modern and well-designed, our panels come black or white. In addition, you have the option to pick the colour of the body.   You can opt for a simple infrared wall lamp, ceiling lamp or floor lamp depending on your furnishing. Minimal and slim, they fit perfectly on the wall, just like a painting. This will not take anything away from your existing furnishing, rather it will add a unique finish.

With future winters expected to worsen due to the climate change, we recommend adding an infrared lamp to your home as soon as possible. This means that winters below zero will no longer turn your home into an uncomfortable refrigerator, as your home will stay warm. Do not worry about the possibility of moving home, as our panels are fully portable, unlike conventional integrated systems.

Without using the air as a heating medium, your room will be comfortable if you use infrared. Do not forget that infrared is a directional heat source, which means it will heat you and objects in that room directly. It will take less time to feel warm, allowing you to turn it off much sooner. And you can manage operating temperatures and schedules with the remote control or directly from your smartphone. All this plus savings of up to 60% on your bills. To really increase your savings, we recommend that you make sure your room and home are well insulated. This further increases the amount you could save by reducing long-term costs.

HOW DOES INFRARED HEATING WORK?

Infrared lamps use modern technology to transform electrical energy into infrared heat. Infrared is simply another part of the light spectrum, but it is invisible. Think of sunlight and a normal bulb. Objects do not heat up when placed in a lit room, but they heat up in sunlight. This is because the bulb only emits bright waves, while the sun emits both bright and heat waves (in the form of infrared). 

Another point worth mentioning is that in conventional heating, hot air takes longer to reach you. This means that the warm air is simply hovering over you and you will only start feeling warm when all the air in the room has been heated up. Infrared heating is not affected by this because it directly heats objects and surfaces.

 A POCKET-FRIENDLY SOLUTION

In terms of cost-effectiveness, how does infrared heating compare with other heating methods? Keep in mind that infrared heating does not heat air particles but objects. As a result, heat is not wasted on the air leaving the environment through ventilation. In fact, it is the object itself that is heated, retaining the heat and slowly radiating it outwards. This means that infrared heaters are more efficient than conventional heaters. Typically, an infrared heater 40% smaller than a conventional heater will still produce the same level of comfort. To put it more clearly, a 400 W infrared heater will produce the same amount of heat as a conventional 1 kW heater.

Infrared lamps also warm the room much faster than other forms of heating and, as a result, need to be turned on for a much shorter period of time. This is great news in terms of cost-effectiveness! As an additional bonus, infrared heaters are fully silent. So, no more annoying humming sounds every time you want to warm up.

Is infrared heating the most cost-effective way to warm up your home? Infrared lamps are more efficient and require less energy to give off the same amount of heat. Moreover, heat is not lost as the air passes through the room and they do not need to heat all the air in a room before feeling the effects. All of these factors help reduce the amount of energy needed to heat your home through infrared, and using less energy means more pocket-friendly bills. In conclusion, infrared heaters are a much more cost-effective way to warm your home compared to traditional heaters.
