Placement

The ideal placement of a Infrared heating depends on the size of the room and the desired heat output. In small rooms, the heater can be placed in the centre of the room. In large rooms, it should be positioned in several places to ensure even heat distribution.

When positioning the infrared heater, it is important to observe the following points:

  • Do not place opposite windows: Infrared heaters heat the objects and people in the room, not the air. They should therefore not be placed opposite windows, as the heat can escape through the windows to the outside.

 

  • Do not place directly on furniture: Infrared heaters can damage furniture and other objects. They should therefore not be placed directly on furniture.

 

  • Do not place near flammable materials: Infrared heaters can become very hot. They should therefore not be placed near flammable materials.

Assembly

Infrared heaters can be mounted on the wall or on the ceiling. Wall mounting is generally easier. However, mounting on the ceiling can ensure better heat distribution.

 

When installing an infrared heater, it is important to observe the following points:

  • Follow the installation instructions: It is essential to follow the manufacturer's installation instructions.

 

  • Use mounting material: The mounting material should be suitable for the weight of the infrared heater.

 

  • Electrical installation: The infrared heater should be connected by a specialist.

 

Conclusion

Placing and installing an infrared heater is not difficult. When positioning it, it is important to take the heat radiation into account. When installing, it is important to follow the manufacturer's installation instructions and use suitable installation material.
