Ideally, you should use the Infrared heating in the conservatory for targeted, short-term heating purposes. On a cloudy day when the conservatory remains cool, you can use the infrared heater's rapid heat-up time to enjoy the pleasant warmth of the infrared rays. Infrared heating in the conservatory may not be the best choice for permanent heating. However, it is often used, especially when the conservatory is used almost as a living room. The advantage is that you can act flexibly, as additional radiators are difficult to install and the existing heating system may not be sufficient to provide additional heat energy.
Infrared heaters generate radiant heat instead of convection heat, which is perceived as more pleasant in comparison. The heat spreads evenly throughout the room without drying out the air or stirring up dust particles.
With convection heat, the air is heated, rises, cools down at the windows and then sinks back down again, which is inefficient due to the poor insulation of the glass front.
Infrared heaters, however, heat specific objects or people, there is no heat loss due to convection heat or poor insulation.
Compared to convection heaters, infrared heaters are less thermally inert. Infrared heaters heat up quickly and generate instant heat. This is ideal for heating the conservatory quickly and efficiently on cold days or in the transitional periods. But also to switch the panel off again quickly when the sun is shining and there is no high heat requirement.
If the conservatory is well insulated and the infrared heating is used in a targeted manner, this can be an energy-efficient heating solution. Energy can be saved thanks to the fast heat-up time and targeted heat output.
The installation of infrared heaters is generally simple and inexpensive. No complex pipework or radiator installations are required. In addition, infrared heaters generally require little to no maintenance.
Infrared heaters can be powered by renewable energy sources such as solar power, making them an environmentally friendly heating option.
Conclusion
Overall, infrared heaters in conservatories offer an efficient, convenient and flexible heating solution. They help to make the conservatory a room that can be used all year round and create a pleasant indoor climate.
