Today there are three major heating systems such as combustion heaters, resistance heaters and infrared heaters. Since different technologies are used in these three different types of heaters, it is always better to know which one is better before purchasing.

Many people consider infrared heaters as better heaters compared to the other two types. Because of their effectiveness in heating, infrared heaters are becoming more and more popular. Some people, who are unaware of the advantages of infrared heaters, purchase other types of heaters, which are mostly inefficient. This article is to discuss why infrared heaters are considered better than others.

There are many advantages of using an infrared heater over the other heating alternatives such as space heaters, kerosene heaters, and coil heaters. Infrared rays radiate outward, thereby heating all the surrounding objects and hence producing wide-scale effect.

Traditional heaters burn a great deal of oxygen, whereas infrared heaters will not. Lack of oxygen makes you feel fatigued and tired. Infrared heaters do not burn air, so they do not reduce the humidity levels. Infrared heaters heat the object instantly, whereas traditional heaters need to warm the environment in order to heat the object.

Some of the traditional heaters can cause many unhealthy side effects. They create dry, irritating indoor air, which depletes your body’s natural moisture, dries out sinuses and mucus in the throat and makes people vulnerable to diseases. Infrared heaters impact your health in a positive way as the heat produced by infrared electric fireplace heaters and the heat produced by sun is very similar.

Infrared heaters are the modern type of heaters. Many manufacturers today are designing infrared heaters keeping safety in mind. Unlike the traditional heaters, the cabinet of the infrared heater does not get hot as most of them are made of galvanized steel.

Unlike traditional convector heaters, which are very difficult to relocate, modern infrared heaters are portable and convenient to move. You can place them in whichever room you want according to your comfort.
