The heating systems we use in our homes are generally grouped into two categories: convective (classical systems which transfer heat by using air as a medium) and radiant (systems which transfer heat by radiation).
Convective heaters transfer the heat on surfaces by the movement of heated air from one place to another. This means that they need to heat all the air in that space in order to be able to heat the environment. Therefore, depending on the volume of the environment, it takes approximately 40 minutes for us to feel warm in an average-sized room. We spend most of our money to warm up the air before we even begin feeling warm.
With these systems, huge heat losses occur as the air moves up to the ceiling. The warm air also dilates and escapes through poorly insulated areas such as doors and windows. As the warm air reaches the ceiling, walls, doors, windows and floor, heat loss occurs, depending on the degree of insulation. It may be necessary to spend a lot of money on insulation in order to reduce these losses.
UFO infrared heaters are quite different from classical heating systems. UFO infrared heaters heat our bodies just like the sun heats our world.
We need a certain amount of calories in order to warm up our bodies.
Convective heaters consume unnecessary energy to increase the environment’s temperature in order to provide us with these calories. UFO infrared heaters load the heat directly onto our body, clothes and the objects around us via photons (light). Thus, without consuming energy to warm up the air, they provides us with the amount of calories we need. They do not heat the ceiling first but, rather, directly heat you and the objects around you.
WHAT ABOUT RADIANT HEAT?
UFO infrared heaters begin heating within seconds. Due to their high efficiency in transferring heat, they will both decrease your energy consumption and contribute to saving the environment by using energy resources efficiently. Furthermore, with energy costs always on the rise, you will save a good deal of money.
Since UFO heaters heat by infrared light, they are not affected by wind or air flows. Furthermore, they provide you with the possibility to redirect and control the heat emitted. Not only will they keep you warm indoors, they will also keep you warm outdoors. You may comfortably use outdoor-approved models of UFO infrared heaters efficiently in places such as your patio, porch, terrace, garage, workshop, and others.
Compared to classical heating systems, UFO infrared heaters transfer heat up to 80% more efficiently. Depending on many factors, such as the size of the room, degree of insulation, or season, the efficiency rate may rise even higher.
