So, how do infrared heaters work? They work by emitting infrared radiation that is absorbed by solid objects and people in the room, rather than heating the air like traditional patio heaters. This makes them more efficient as they don't waste energy trying to heat the entire space. An Infrared Patio Heater works silently and doesn't emit any fumes or pollutants, making them a safer choice for indoor or outdoor heating.

Infrared heaters come in a variety of shapes and sizes, from portable models to larger fixed units. Some models even come with features like thermostats and remote controls, making it easy to adjust the temperature and heat output to your desired level of comfort. With their energy-efficient and effective heating capabilities, electric and gas infrared heaters are great for keeping you warm and cozy during the colder months.

Most electric and top-quality gas patio heaters that we carry use infrared.
