What is the best way to buy an infrared wall heater with a thermostat

Despite its relatively recent appearance, infrared heaters within a limited timeframe, won the love of consumers, receiving positive reviews.

A considerable share of their popularity was provided by:

• affordable price (in comparison with other types of efficient heating equipment);
• low consumption of electrical energy;
• versatility and acceptable design;
• safety.

IR heaters differ from oil and convection devices by the principle of operation. The heat generated by the radiator does not mix with the air in the room, as is the case with other types of equipment. Heat waves heat up objects in their zone of action, and already from them the air itself heats up.

Note! Infrared emitters are classified as environmentally friendly devices. Their operation is accompanied by a minimal negative impact on the human body.

The degree of heating is controlled by thermostat, which can have an independent or built-in design in the heater. As soon as the temperature reaches the set value, the device switches off automatically.When the temperature drops, the heater turns on again.

According to the manufacturer, heat transfer starts within 5 minutes. after turning on the device. Within 20 min. the heater reaches operating temperature. The designs include energy-saving drives, thanks to which the cooling of the structure lasts at least 1.5 hours. At the same time, the cost of electricity is zero.

The devices are not only economical, but also suitable for any premises. They have a beneficial effect on health and do not dry out the air at all. During the operation of the heater, the room is evenly heated. The structures themselves are fireproof, they are not afraid of water and overloads.

Scope of UFO infrared emitters

Consumers can buy UFO wall mounted infrared heater for the following purposes:

• heating of locally located zones - residential and office premises;
• heating of premises with significant heat losses - the lack of high-quality insulation in the room provokes strong drafts. Due to the fact that UFO devices do not heat the air, but objects, drafts cannot affect the temperature of the heated room;
• maintaining the optimal temperature in rooms with high ceilings - with a ceiling height of 3 m or more, heating requires serious systems. Heating rooms of this type requires an increased number of radiators, and therefore increases heating costs. UFO is capable of replacing an entire battery system;
• heating limited industrial premises - servicing large supermarkets and industrial buildings will require a lot of costs, so it is more expedient to heat only part of the premises (those that are in dire need). These include rooms for staff rest, rooms where the team spends a lot of time;

• rapid heating of rooms where people stay temporarily - heating is used only during the operation of the room, the rest of the time the room is not heated;
• heating buildings with small but frequent heat losses - this category of buildings includes hospitals, cinemas, hotels, shopping centers and cafes. Places of mass gathering of people for hygienic purposes are subject to frequent ventilation, so small heat losses are inevitable. To compensate for them, it is enough to purchase a UFO heater.

Note! UFOs are widely used outdoors: with their help it is easy to warm up summer areas belonging to restaurants and cafes.

Advantages and disadvantages of film heaters

Film devices, like other types of heaters, have both advantages and disadvantages.

Advantages of film emitters:

1. Positive health benefits. The lack of sunlight in winter is particularly acute. With a foil heater, infrared radiation can be used to compensate for the lack of natural sunlight.

Helpful advice! To ensure full heating of the room with the help of infrared heaters, experts recommend giving preference to film options designed for installation on the ceiling or on the floor, for example, the Warm Floor system.

Disadvantages of film heaters:

1. The heater does not accumulate heat at all and after switching off it cools down very quickly.
2. Weak heating level. One film pattern may not be enough to heat the room. Therefore, you have to purchase several devices at once.
3. There are restrictions on wall decoration.

Tips for choosing film wall heaters

Recommendations for choosing wall-mounted film devices:

1. The area on the wall where the heater will be hung should not be finished with combustible materials.
2. The decorative elements of the interior must be placed at a distance of at least 30 cm from the device.
3. The power of the emitter depends on the number of carbon fibers and the area of ​​the device.
4. It is better to restrict children's access to the heater.

In terms of technical characteristics, Neirs film heaters proved to be the best.
