How Infrared Works

Infrared or radiant heating is simply the transfer of heat from a warm object to a cooler object. The heat is a product of a completely safe spectrum of light that is invisible to our eyes. Just as the sun has been heating people here on earth for thousands of years, our products radiate sun-like warmth to indoor or outdoor spaces, floors, and furniture, rather than heating the air.

For example, our Enerjoy and REH CeramiCircuit heaters emit heat via long wave far infrared (FIR) energy, while our Infratech heaters produce a medium wave infrared using a quartz element to transfer heat. These technologies amount to safe, clean, low-cost energy that’s friendly to people and to the environment.

By comparison, systems like forced air, baseboard, and wall heaters only heat the air. Because warm air rises in the presence of cooler air, the heated air can be easily sucked away by drafts or wind, and must be replaced frequently by more heated air in order to sustain ambient comfort. This all amounts to wasted energy and higher heating bills.

Clean & Green Heat
Our radiant heating products are safer and healthier than traditional forms of heat, as they do not rely on fossil fuels, blow dust or allergens, or make noise. They also do not need filters, fuels, ducts or pumps that require seasonal cleaning and maintenance. Plus, all of our products are proudly made in the USA, are 99-100% recyclable, and our Enerjoy products are recognized by LEED ratings!

Energy Savings
Many of our customers have reported saving between 20- 50% over conventional heating systems, including gas, oil, electric, and wood burning systems. (US DOE studies have shown a 33% savings over heat pumps and 52% savings over baseboard heating when using our Enerjoy panels.) Plus, most of our products require zero maintenance, and installation costs are often less than traditional forced air heating systems and up to 75% less than in-floor radiant heating.
