Infrared heaters are very essential when winter breaks in. You need to protect yourself, your kids and pets against the biting cold, because the temperature drops drastically. Infrared heaters keep you warm without raising your power bill substantially. They are safe to everyone.

The underlying mechanism of infrared heaters is infrared radiation or light. The heating element in an infrared heater, when heated by electric power, emits infrared light. Infrared light is invisible to you and does not heat the air in contact. However, when it hits your body, you feel the warmth.

Most of infrared heaters are inbuilt with thermostats. Set a temperature you think you will be comfortable at and leave the rest to your infrared heater. It stops further heating once the temperature is reached. Thus, you can have a say in controlling your power bills.

Infrared heaters emit heat with minimum loss because it is not absorbed by the air in contact. Hence, the whole amount of heat is absorbed by objects in its contact. Infrared convector heaters have no adverse health implications on the health of human or any other living being.

Heat emitted by infrared heaters does not affect the moisture in air and humidity remains unchanged. As the moisture level remains unchanged, there is less chance of air pollution and negative impact on the health. Whereas in case of convection type of heaters, the air in the home they operate in becomes dry which results in pollen, dust, smoke drifting into the room.

Infrared radiation is free from toxic fumes, dust or any particulate matter. As these electric fireplace heaters do not burn fossil fuels like gasoline, wood, etc., pollution at home due to such emissions is ruled out. From the stand point of health, infrared radiation is good for human beings. The light they emit is said to improve blood circulation and maintain the blood pressure at the correct level, apart from making muscle and other tissues function at the optimal efficiency.
