Portable infrared heating is a smart solution for those who want to provide heat precisely where and when it's needed. This form of infrared heating combines direct radiant heat with the convenience of a freestanding, easily movable system. This creates comfort without permanent installation or structural changes to the room.
What is meant by portable infrared heating?
Portable infrared heaters are infrared units that aren't permanently mounted and can be easily moved from room to room. They operate entirely electrically and emit heat via infrared radiation, directly warming people and objects. This makes them particularly suitable for variable use.
When is portable infrared heating the right choice?
This solution is often chosen in situations where permanent heating is lacking or offers insufficient flexibility. Think of temporary workspaces, additional seating areas, or spaces that are only used occasionally. A portable solution can also provide additional comfort when combined with existing systems, such as infrared heating in the bathroom .
Difference with fixed infrared solutions
Unlike fixed systems like an infrared ceiling or wall panel , portable infrared heating isn't tied to a single location. This offers freedom, but also requires conscious use. The heater is primarily used as supplementary heating or a temporary solution, not as a permanent primary source of heat.
Efficient heating based on presence
Because infrared heating emits heat instantly, the system only needs to be on when you're actually present. This makes portable infrared heating energy-efficient and efficient for short-term use. The heat is noticeable almost immediately, eliminating long warm-up times.
Home and work environment applications
In homes, portable infrared heating is often used as an additional heat source in bedrooms or sitting areas. In work environments, this solution is suitable for flexible workspaces or as supplementary heating at a desk . This form of heating also offers a solution in spaces where a permanent installation is not desirable.
Ease of use and safety
Portable infrared heaters are designed for easy use. Simply plugging them into a wall socket is enough to experience instant warmth. The lack of air circulation keeps the indoor climate calm and comfortable. Warmteshop always recommends placing the heater securely and maintaining sufficient clearance around it.
