Would you like to be comfortable outdoors, even in winter or on cool evenings? A radiant heater is the perfect solution for this. With such a heater you can effectively heat the outside area of your house, your terrace or your garden and thus generate a pleasant warmth. There are different types of radiant heaters, which differ in their performance, energy consumption and the way they generate heat. In this text, you will find out everything you need to know about these heaters.
There are three different types of radiant heaters: infrared radiant heaters, patio heaters and gas radiant heaters. Infrared heaters generate heat through infrared radiation, while patio heaters run on gas or electricity and produce an open flame. Gas heaters generate heat by burning gas and should never be used indoors as CO2 emissions can be dangerous. However, electric heaters with an infrared function are suitable for indoor use.
Such a heater can be used for various purposes. For example, if you enjoy barbecuing or sitting outside, the heater can create a comfortable warmth and ensure that you can stay outdoors even on cooler evenings. Infrared heaters can also be used indoors and are ideal for heating conservatories, workshops or garages.
If you want to buy an infrared heater, you should first consider what type of infrared heater you need. Infrared heaters are ideal for indoor heating, while gas heaters are a good choice for outdoors. Patio heaters are also intended for outdoor use, but often have a lower heat output than gas heaters. Also think about the purpose for which you are using the heater and what output you need. For larger areas you should get a model with a higher output. Also compare the different devices in terms of their energy consumption, safety and price to find the right model for you.
Infrared heaters are safe as long as they are used properly and have the appropriate certification.
The energy consumption of a radiant heater depends on the type of heater and its performance. Infrared heaters typically use less energy than gas heaters. However, it is important to note that the energy consumption also depends on the operating time and the setting of the radiant heater.
The lifespan of the infrared heater depends on the quality of the device and the frequency and intensity of use. As a rule, infrared heaters should last at least a few years if they are properly maintained and cared for.
Yes, infrared heaters can also be used in closed rooms. Gas heaters should only be used in well-ventilated areas, but preferably only outdoors, as they can produce carbon monoxide.
To extend the life of your infrared heater, you should clean and maintain it regularly. Make sure the heater is off and cool before cleaning. Do not use aggressive cleaning agents, simply clean your model with a damp cloth and mild cleaning agent. Also regularly check the gas or power supply and check the device for damage.
