What is Infrared Technology?

The infrared heating technology in our portable furnace heats in a manner similar to the sun's rays, gently and evenly warming the air without drying it. Other space heaters can scorch and eliminate moisture in the air in your home as they heat, much like a hair dryer dries wet hair as it heats. Our infrared quartz heater, however, uses the humidity in the air to spread moist, even heat throughout your space. Infrared energy is pure radiation and is absorbed by an object without physical contact with the heat source itself or by heating the surrounding air, as is the case with conventional forced air systems. In other words, the infrared energy that is emitted by the heater is absorbed by sinks, flooring, fixtures, etc. It's the ultimate source for safe and reliable heat. Also keep in mind that by heating the objects in the room, temperatures can be maintained longer and you will save money month after month.

When you turn on your new infrared quartz heater, four infrared heating elements warm up within the copper-lined galvanized steel heating chamber (these parts are covered for a lifetime under the 5-year warranty program that we offer for only $79.99). Once the elements inside have reached the proper temperature, a quiet scroll-style fan pulls air inside and through the heating chamber. The air is gently warmed as it passes through the heated copper-lined chamber and is then pushed out the front of the portable heating unit. The patent pending bulb life has been enhanced to reach a lifespan of an incredible 20,000 hours!

By heating while leaving your air's moisture intact, infrared heaters can provide even heat in your 800-1000 square foot space from floor to ceiling - no more hot spots and cold pockets as experienced with traditional portable heaters. And if you wish to adjust the heat, the digital thermostat is easy to use, ultra-reliable and is visible from across the room.
