Infrared Heating – A Cleaner & Sustainable Heating Alternative

September 28, 2020

It appears as though the summer is coming to an end, as the warm days we have been accustomed to since early March have begun to turn a little colder and greyer.

For many, that means it is time for the windows to close and the heating to go on, but as we move through the pandemic, a traditional heating system may present some troubles.

In order to prevent the spread of the COVID-19 virus, it has been suggested that those in a confined space, even where properly socially distanced, should endeavour to keep as much ventilation as possible. This means keeping the windows open and for those who will need to remain in the office throughout the winter months, it could lead to some chilly days.

This is likely to result in higher energy usage and may go against our obligations to reduce as such for environmental targets. Fortunately, there are options available for both commercial and domestic requirements.

We had recently wrote a post covering a new range of Herschel outdoor heating options that could help those getting back outdoors ,with the reopening of pubs, bars, and restaurants. Furthermore,  there are indoor options for infrared heating too, for both individual use and uses for heating an entire space.

As a sustainable and cost effective heating option that is proven to be up to 60% more efficient than conventional heating options, it may help keep you on the right path with your energy usage. With ongoing studies suggesting how far infrared heating may in fact provide some protection against airborne and longer lasting surface particles, it could be a win-win for many. “We are not suggesting FIR is the silver bullet for fighting COVID-19, but as this preprint study suggests, its ability to act as a complementary therapy in the fight against airborne microorganisms must warrant serious consideration” was stated in reference to ongoing research in the matter.

You can explore which Far Infrared Heating options may best suit your needs and the benefits they offer, or you can get in contact with our experts today and have them take you through the many benefits offered.
