How are infrared heaters different from other heaters?
Most heaters heat the ambient air of the room via convection, which heats the air and circulates the warmth out into the room. An infrared heater transfers most of the heat through direct infrared radiation to heat up objects being hit by the radiation in the room. Therefore, you save money because the heater is heating you and not the whole room. The infrared heat will then penetrate your skin, warm you from beneath your skin, and radiate outward. Not only will the heater warm you, but it will also heat anyone near you because a portion of the heat will reflect off your skin.
