Why infrared heat?

A heated quartz element emits a safe, clean wavelength of light that is only absorbed by solid objects, transferring heat directly to a person, table, or floor rather than heating the air. For this reason, infrared heat can be distributed very evenly, and will not simply "blow away" in windy or drafty conditions. Infratech medium wave quartz element heaters are 93% efficient and emit a barely discernible, pleasing glow that will not affect the ambiance of your gathering – unlike competitive short-wave or halogen electric heaters that produce a very harsh glare or bright-colored light.

Cost of Operation and Maintenance

Operation:

It’s simple to determine the cost of operating an Infratech heater—multiply the rate charged by your local utility company by the wattage of your heater.

Your Utility Rate X Wattage of Your Heater = Cost of Operation

EXAMPLE: Your utility charges $0.15* / kilowatt hour (kW) X 3 (for a 3000 watt heater) = $0.45 / hour

***This is the National Average. Utility charges will vary.***

Maintenance:

Unlike traditional gas heaters, Infratech electric heaters are virtually maintenance-free. For long-lasting use, we recommend once a year to spray the heater with a hose and wipe it down. Our elements are rated to last 5,000 hours, plus they are simple and inexpensive to replace.
