What is infrared heating?
The ultimate source of radiated heat is the sun, which generates vast amounts of infrared heat through gas consumption. This infrared heat passes directly through space, but it warms the surface of the earth and is, in fact, the energy source that makes life possible on earth. On a sunny day in winter the sun’s warmth comforts us even though the air around us is below comfort temperature. Gas fired infrared heaters are sometimes called mini suns because they both rely on gas consumption (either propane or natural gas) to generate heat. Infrared heat warms people and objects at occupancy level, not the air in the room. This is a major advantage because warmed air rises to the ceiling where it is not needed, and wastes the fuel dollars spent to heat it.

The ultimate source of radiated heat is the sun, which generates vast amounts of infrared heat through gas combustion. This infrared heat passes directly through space, but it warms the surface of the earth and is, in fact, the energy source that makes life possible on earth. For example, on a sunny day in winter we enjoy the suns warmth even though the air temperature is low. Gas fired infrared heaters are sometimes called mini suns because they both rely on gas (either propane or natural gas) combustion to generate heat. infrared heat warms people and objects at floor level, not the air in the room. This is a major advantage because warmed air rises to the ceiling where it is not needed.
