1. introduction
Rising energy prices and the desire for sustainable heating solutions are prompting many homeowners and tenants to look for efficient alternatives. Infrared heaters are considered a modern and energy-saving option – especially if they are used correctly and powered by green electricity. In this guide, you will learn everything you need to know about how they work, their efficiency, top models in 2025 and practical tips on how to effectively save heating costs with infrared heaters.
2 What is an infrared heater?
Infrared heaters generate heat through electromagnetic radiation that acts directly on objects and people. In contrast to classic convection heaters, it is not primarily the air that is heated, but the environment itself that stores and emits the heat. This ensures a pleasant room climate and, if used correctly, can lead to noticeable energy savings.
Advantages at a glance:
- Efficient, targeted heat dissipation
- Maintenance-free and durable
- Low acquisition and operating costs
- Suitable for allergy sufferers (low dust turbulence)
- Flexible installation (wall, ceiling, free-standing unit)
3. energy efficiency & savings potential
Facts:
- Infrared heaters can be very energy-saving in well-insulated buildings or as supplementary heating.
- The radiation efficiency should be at least 40 % according to DIN EN IEC 60675-3.
- In combination with photovoltaics or green electricity, infrared heaters are virtually climate-neutral.
Myths:
- They are always cheaper than gas heating systems: This depends heavily on the electricity tariff, insulation standard and usage profile.
- Suitable for every old building: Operating costs increase without good insulation.
Example calculation (100 m², medium insulation, 20°C):
| Heating system | Consumption (kWh/year) | Energy costs/year (at 0.40 €/kWh electricity, 0.13 €/kWh gas) |
|---|---|---|
| Infrared heating | 11.500 | 4.600 € |
| Gas heating | 16.000 | 2.080 € |
The costs of infrared heating can be significantly reduced with a PV system!

- Optimal placement: Free radiant surface, central in the room
- Improve insulation: The better the insulation, the less heating power required
- Combination with green electricity/PV: for sustainable, affordable heat
- Adjust the room temperature: Every degree less saves approx. 6 % energy
6. installation, safety & maintenance
- Installation: wall, ceiling or floor-standing device (follow the installation instructions)
