An infrared standing heater is a practical solution for those who want to add heat quickly and flexibly, without permanent mounting or major installation. This type of infrared heating is primarily chosen in situations where rooms are used intermittently or where permanent heating is not desirable or possible. Thanks to the direct radiant heat, the room quickly feels comfortable, precisely where it's needed.
What is an infrared standing heater?
An infrared standing heater is a freestanding infrared panel mounted on a base or stand. Unlike wall or ceiling panels, this solution is fully portable. The heater is powered by electricity and radiates infrared heat that directly warms people and objects. This quickly creates comfort without having to warm the air in the entire room first.
Why choose a standing infrared heater?
The strength of an infrared standing heater lies in its flexibility. You can place the heater wherever you need it and easily move it to another room. This makes it a popular choice for workspaces, temporary living solutions, and spaces that aren't used continuously. A standing infrared heater also offers a solution in situations where a permanent installation isn't permitted.
Direct heat without a long heating-up time
Infrared heating is known for its immediate warmth. As soon as the standing heater is switched on, you'll feel the heat almost immediately. This is a major advantage over traditional electric heaters, which first have to heat the air. The heat is focused and efficient, which is especially pleasant for short-term use.
Applications of infrared standing heating
An infrared standing heater is used in many different situations. At home, it's often used as supplementary heating in the living room or as an extra heat source for a seating area. In the workplace, for example, at a desk or in a home office, a standing infrared heater provides targeted warmth without having to heat the entire building.
Difference with fixed infrared panels
The main difference between a freestanding infrared heater and fixed panels is the installation. While a wall panel or ceiling panel is permanently mounted, a freestanding solution offers maximum flexibility. This makes the freestanding version ideal for temporary situations or for those who want flexible heating options.
Standing infrared heating as additional heating
In most cases, an infrared standing heater is used as supplementary heating. The heater supports an existing system and provides additional comfort when and where needed. This targeted approach limits energy consumption and increases comfort without requiring structural modifications to the home or space.
Energy consumption and efficient use
The energy consumption of an infrared standing heater depends heavily on how and for how long it's used. Because the heat is immediately noticeable, the heater can often be left on for a shorter period than traditional solutions. By only using the heater when you're present, energy consumption remains manageable. You can find more insight into consumption and costs in the article "What does infrared heating cost per hour ?"
Comfort without air circulation
A key advantage of infrared heating is that it doesn't displace air. This means fewer drafts and less dust floating around. The heat feels calmer and more even, contributing to a pleasant indoor climate. This also makes infrared standing heaters suitable for people who are sensitive to dry air or dust.
Safe and easy to use
Infrared standing heaters are designed for easy and safe use. They plug into a standard electrical outlet and require no technical installation. Warmteshop always recommends placing the heater securely and maintaining sufficient distance from furniture or other objects to ensure effective heat distribution.
Flexible alternative for temporary spaces
For temporary living spaces, renovations, or additional workspaces, an infrared standing heater is an ideal alternative. You're not tied to a permanent installation and can easily move the heater to another room. This also makes it a popular solution for spaces like hobby rooms, guest rooms, or for seasonal use.
