The #1 source for heating hot yoga and wellness studios in the world

Infrared encompasses a huge range of temperatures. Saying infrared is bad for your health is analogous to saying that noise is bad for your hearing, and presenting a study that correlates the noise level at a rock concert with damage to eardrums. It’s just not that simple.

There is no empirical evidence from accredited sources which show that far infrared is bad for your health, aging, etc. On the contrary, there is evidence that it helps to increase flexibility, circulation, detoxification, and other health benefits. This is one of the main reasons it has become popular in the far IR sauna and IR yoga industries in particular, of which, our company has worked with over 950 yoga studios worldwide, with none reporting negative health effects.

• First, figure out your total watts, i.e. two 1,000 watt heater = 2,000 watts or 2 kilowatts.
• Second, confirm your electrical cost/kilowatt hour with your local utility or use electricity local
• Third, multiply the total kilowatts x the cost/kilowatt hour i.e. 2kw x $.13 (cost/kilowatt hour) = $.26 would be your hourly operating cost.
• Please note that total operating costs widely vary based on use, geography, weather, the building envelope, controls, and habits of the occupant(s).

• An infrared heater is an object with a higher temperature which transfers energy to a body with a lower temperature through electromagnetic radiation, generally within a wavelength of 7-12 microns.  The heat is a product of a completely safe spectrum of light that is invisible to our eyes.
• NOTE:  Our body gives off heat at a wavelength of around 12 microns and our IR heaters emit a wavelength of 7-12 microns, therefore the body easily absorbs the heat in this wavelength, which easily heats water molecules (the human body is made up of ~60% water), and penetrates well below the skin, which is optimal for heating people at room temperature or hot yoga enthusiast alike!

• Just as the sun heats us our products radiate sun-like warmth to indoor or outdoor spaces, floors, furniture, and most importantly, people.
• The Infrared Spectrum: Think of infrared light being on a spectrum from short wave to long wave, and visible light/temperature. The shorter the wave, the higher the temperature, the longer the wave, the lower the temperature.
  Short wave infrared:  The sun, which has a surface temperature of 10,000F, visible to the naked eye.
  Medium wave infrared:  A good example of this is our quartz heaters which have a faint glow and a maximum surface temperature of ~900F.
  Longwave infrared:  The remainder of our infrared heaters, for indoor applications (non-glowing) fall into this category, with a surface temperature range of 170-425F.
