1 What is an infrared heater?
Infrared heaters use so-called radiant heat, similar to the sun. In contrast to classic radiators, it is not the air that is heated, but walls, objects and people. Heat4All offers various designs and models of infrared panels – from classic panel heaters to picture, mirror and glass heaters.
2. environmental benefits at a glance
- No COâ‚‚ emissions during operation
- Resource-saving production and long service life
- No use of fossil fuels
- Low maintenance and recyclable
- Can be combined with green electricity and photovoltaics
Infrared heaters actively contribute to climate protection and are a sustainable alternative to gas and oil heating systems.
3. energy efficiency and carbon footprint
Studies show that infrared heaters are up to 32% more efficient than conventional heating systems (e.g. gas boilers). Energy consumption is optimized because only the area that is actually needed is heated. With electricity from renewable sources, the COâ‚‚ footprint is reduced to almost zero.
Sample calculation:
| Heating system | Energy consumption/year | COâ‚‚ emissions/year |
|---|---|---|
| Gas heating | 8,000 kWh | 1,800 kg |
| Infrared heating* | 5,400 kWh | 0 kg (green electricity) |
*Values vary depending on building and insulation.
4. profitability and cost structure
Infrared heaters from Heat4All are an investment with long-term benefits. They require no maintenance, have low purchase costs and are easy to install. Heating costs are easy to calculate thanks to thermostat control and efficient technology.
Cost overview:
| Cost type | Infrared heating | Gas heating |
|---|---|---|
| Purchase | from 250 € | from 5.000 € |
| Maintenance/year | 0 € | 100-300 € |
| Operation/year* | from 300 € | from 600 € |
*Depending on house size and electricity price.
5. comfort and health
- Comfortable indoor climate without raising dust
- Immediate heat after switching on (10-30 min heat-up time)
- Prevention of mold and moisture (e.g. in the bathroom)
- Uncomplicated control – also possible via app
Heat4All infrared panels can be positioned individually and are ideal for allergy sufferers and families.
6. flexibility and design
Whether as a picture, mirror or glass heater – Heat4All offers the right product for every style and requirement. The heaters are modular, can be installed on the wall, ceiling or as a free-standing unit and are available in various colors and motifs. Custom-made products with your own images are also possible.
Design examples:
- Classic white panels
- Picture heaters with nature motifs
- Mirror heaters for bathrooms and hallways
- Decorative glass heaters in the color of your choice
7. integration of renewable energies
One of the greatest strengths of infrared heaters is their ideal combination with photovoltaic systems or green electricity tariffs. This makes heating virtually emission-free and independent of fossil fuels.
Example:
With a PV system on the roof, you can operate your Heat4All infrared heater with self-generated electricity – for maximum sustainability.
