Your Guide to Electric Infrared Patio Heaters

Fall is just around the corner, and many parts of the country are already starting to feel the crisp autumn air. At AEI, we specialize in creating high-quality grills and heaters to ensure your outdoor living experience remains enjoyable throughout the entire year. While we’re widely recognized for our natural gas and propane-powered grills and heaters, we’re thrilled to announce our recent collaboration with Infratech, a world-renowned manufacturer of electric, residential infrared heaters.

Infratech stands out by designing and manufacturing powerful, safe, and durable infrared heaters that excel in outdoor environments while promising long-lasting performance. One of the best things about these exceptional heating appliances is their durability and outstanding performance combined with ease of maintenance.

Infrared Heaters Made in the USA: How It Works

Infrared heating technology has been around for quite some time, but Infratech has refined its application for both residential and commercial patio heaters. Naturally, people have questions about it, and we’re here to provide answers.

Interestingly, infrared heat has been present since the beginning of time in the form of our planet’s Sun. The Sun emits a broad spectrum of electromagnetic energy, including infrared rays. Infrared rays are part of the natural light spectrum. The infrared bandwidth is entirely safe for our health and biology. It’s the kind of sunlight that provides the soothing warmth you feel when sunlight touches your skin. Infrared heaters mimic this experience.

The Benefits of an Outdoor Electric Patio Heater

There are numerous reasons why an electric infrared heater is a fantastic addition to your existing heating setup.

Rapid Heating

The warming effect of infrared heating happens almost instantly. Since the warming rays these devices emit travel at the speed of light, you’ll start feeling the warmth within seconds after turning it on. It’s incredibly comforting when you’re returning from the cold and want to warm up quickly.

Silent Operation

Traditional heaters rely on combustion to activate the emitter and generate invisible, warming rays. Usually, this isn’t an issue and can even create a pleasant white noise. However, there’s something special about the silent operation of electric infrared heaters. Whether you’re gazing at the stars, working on a project, or enjoying a peaceful conversation, the complete absence of noise from Infratech heaters is a true delight.

Natural Warmth

As mentioned, infrared light is entirely natural and safe. It’s part of the natural light spectrum the Sun generously provides every day. There’s no need to worry about harmful UV rays since this heating technology doesn’t produce that kind of light. Moreover, infrared light promotes healthy circulation and respiration—because there’s no combustion, you won’t inhale any pollutants. For these reasons, infrared heaters are recommended for use in hospitals and by individuals with health and respiratory issues.

Economical Savings

Conventional heaters can consume up to 40 watts of power to heat indoor air. On average, an electric infrared heater uses just 25 watts per cubic meter. Infratech heaters only heat the specific area they’re installed in, and since the heating is immediate, you can switch it off when leaving the area to save even more electricity. When you return, simply turn it back on and continue enjoying the warmth.

Additional Insights About Residential Infrared Heaters

We receive many inquiries about these innovative heating appliances, and rightly so. Many people are unfamiliar with the technology and are curious about its unique benefits. Here are some common questions our customers ask.

All Patio Heaters Generate Infrared Heat

No matter if they’re powered by propane, natural gas, or electricity, all infrared heaters deliver the same form of heat. Each type has its place in heating outdoor spaces, but electric heaters are particularly ideal for areas where propane and natural gas aren’t accessible, and they’re the easiest to use.

Infratech Electric Patio Heaters Rely on Electricity

Infratech specializes in heaters that use electricity to heat an infrared emitter element, which then generates warming infrared rays. They are built for power, efficiency, and ease of use. Once installed on your patio, you’ll notice a noticeable increase in your property’s curb appeal and resale value.

Professional Installation is Necessary

These outdoor heaters are powerful appliances that require installation by a professional contractor or electrician. They must be directly wired into the electrical system of the house or building where they’re used. People are often familiar with portable electric heaters that plug into outlets, but those are far less safe, less powerful, and less efficient than Infratech heaters, which are optimized for safety and performance. Infratech electric heaters CANNOT be plugged into regular wall outlets.

Infratech Electric Heaters Are Clean and Efficient

Electricity, like natural gas and propane, is a cost-effective, eco-friendly fuel source for patio heaters. As discussed earlier, infrared heaters are far more efficient than convection heaters and less expensive to operate. They produce zero chemical emissions and are 100% safe and environmentally friendly.

Suitable for Any Exterior Decor

Our Infratech heaters come in various finishes, allowing you to easily match them to your décor. Infratech’s innovative design enables their heaters to be mounted flush against walls or ceilings. When needed, they can also be attached to freestanding walls or sturdy posts. They’re available in different sizes with both single and dual heating element models. This gives you control over how much heat your unit will produce. Infratech heaters can be mounted or suspended from walls or outdoor ceilings/structures.

Infratech Heaters Offer Multiple Mounting Options

They are typically mounted under the eaves of a building or a permanent outdoor structure and angled downward. Some can be mounted flush with the wall or ceiling, providing a sleek, low-profile appearance. These mounting options ensure the device stays out of the way. These commercial and residential heaters are specifically designed to be mounted permanently in out-of-the-way locations. This makes them first in their class in terms of safety, a feature we’re especially proud to highlight.

Advanced Control Options for Infratech Heaters

Controlling your Infratech heaters ranges from simple on/off switches to dials with variable temperature controls to more advanced input heat regulators. You also have the option of integrating them with smart home management systems, solid-state control packages, and universal control panels. Apps are available that allow you to control your Infratech heaters remotely, customize settings, and create a warm and cozy atmosphere whenever you need it.
