How well do infrared heaters work?
On One Hand: Reduce the cost with infrared heatingInfrared heaters propel long waves of radiation, hitting a hard target close by to transform the radiation into heat. With an infrared wave heater hitting directly at a person, generally you will feel the warmth regardless of a draft. Most infrared space heaters are energy-savers, reducing the cost of heating bills.On the Other: Be aware of the dangersInfrared space heaters warm only nearby people and objects, not the surrounding space. An infrared heater will not work well in an open space and should never be left unsupervised. Manufacturers recommend this because of the danger involved: Space heaters could overheat or tumble over, causing fire.Bottom LineInfrared space heaters could be a solution to saving money on the rising cost of energy. Do the research before buying an infrared space heater.
