Why are Electric Infrared Heaters Eco-friendly?

Home or office heating is very much essential for people living in colder regions. Especially in winters, it is inevitable to choose a home heating option. Among the many different types of heater, electric infrared heaters are prominently and popularly use throughout. They emit infrared radiation through the use of electricity. The radiation is directly reached to the objects or individuals present in the room and hence, ensure instant warmth immediately after switching the heater on. They not only provide safe and efficient radiation as heat but are also considered to be environmentally friendly.

Unlike any other conventional heaters like kerosene or gas heaters, electric infrared heaters do not need any installation or use of gas or oil tubes or pipelines. This is one of the greatest characteristics which make the electric infrared heaters green. In addition, they also do not emit harmful gases like carbon monoxide which is often associated with kerosene or gas heaters. Therefore, they are not at all considered to cause any sort of air pollution.

As said, electric infrared heaters emit infrared radiation which does not affect the temperature or humidity levels of the air. Whereas, convection heaters may change these attributes. With forced convection heaters, the level of humidity reduces gradually and this makes the air dry. As a result dust particles spread and remain in the air. This further promotes the risk of allergies and asthma. As electric infrared heaters do not change temperature or humidity levels and also ensure oxygen-rich air, they maintain a safe environment and hence, considered to be environmentally friendly.
