what is far infrared heat?
Infrared heat is not a new invention – it is the most basic form of heating known to man.
The most significant source of infrared heat is the sun – infrared rays account for 49% of the heating of the earth. Infrared is a natural form of heat. It is the same form of heat emitted by your own body.
Infrared is radiant heat that instead of heating air, heats objects, which then radiate back and keep the environment around you warm. Think about the feeling of warmth from the sun on your face. Whether you feel warm or cold does not always depend on the temperature of the surrounding air – you can feel the heat on your skin even during a freezing winter day. The reason we get warm from an infrared heat is that our skin and clothes or other objects absorb the light. It’s like the difference between being directly in the sunlight versus sitting in the shade.
The same principle applies to infrared heating for your home. Infrared panels radiate their heat onto all objects in very much the same way the sun would. When infrared waves touch a surface, heat energy is released regardless of the surrounding air temperature. Most objects absorb infrared heat and then slowly release it back into space. As your own body also emits the infrared heat, the same goes for people.
Infrared electric heaters are better, healthier and cheaper solutions to heat your home or apartment!
