Infratech Heaters Made In USA

Most people love the Australian weather but one thing we can all agree on is the unpredictability is something no one enjoys.

For business owners, a great day can quickly turn into a chilly night and although your premises might have the best design and a beautiful outdoor area, losing out on potential customers is never a good thing.
You may have already sorted this problem by getting yourself some temporary outdoor heaters to keep your guests warm but as much as they may do the job, you understand they’re just adequate.

So, surely technology must have come up with something new by now?

Infratech Heaters

Enter Infratech Heaters

Luckily for you, science has pulled through and has come up with an even better way to heat your outdoor spaces.

Let us introduce Infratech Heaters.

A breeze to install and operate with the added benefit of a reduced cost of operation, your previous heating solution will not be able to compete.

With their incredible line of infrared heaters, you have yourself a multitude of options to heat your outdoor areas. Whether you’re looking to heat a larger surface area or if you’re after a more sleek, modern design, Infratech Heaters will have a heater to suit your needs.

But why are Infrared Heaters so special?

Benefits of Outdoor Infrared Heaters

Any new invention or innovation could mean several things to different people, both good and bad. They could be just what is needed or worse than what you were originally using before.

With Infrared Heaters, you will wish they were invented sooner.

Here are 4 reasons why:

They Work Instantly

Other heaters rely on the heat of the flame to be carried around the area you are looking to heat. This reliance on convection means that it will take a bit of time before the heat being distributed starts to be felt by the people in the area.

An infrared heater works a little differently.

Have you ever wondered why you feel cool while standing in shade but immediately feel the heat when you step into the sunlight?

That, my friends, is infrared heat.

The infrared radiation is absorbed by your clothing and your body and you start feeling the warmth immediately.

Simplicity Guaranteed

Many other types of heaters are known for the amount of work that goes into installing them.

Even with the beauty of an outdoor fireplace or fire pit, you must also consider keeping it topped up, or even worse, running out of fuel to keep the heat flowing.

With an infrared heater, you don’t have to worry about such things. It’s as easy as thinking about where to situate them and how they are going to go up on the wall. From there, it’s very easy to deliver power to them.

Cheaper to Operate

This is the part that you’re going to appreciate the most and we’ll try not to get too techy with it.

With a convection heater, electricity has to pass through the heating element, which in turn will heat the air around it.
Hot air is much lighter than cold air, so it will rise. This is for models that don’t use a blower to push away the already heated air.
All this means is that heating a room will take some time, and the energy used will be quite significant.

On the other hand, an infrared heater only needs to put out infrared radiation. Your body and the surfaces around you will naturally turn that radiation into heat.

Sounds simple, doesn’t it?

This is reflected in the power ratings of the different heaters in comparison here. An infrared heater that has a power output level of 600 watts will give the same heating feel as a convection heater rated at 1500 watts. That’s slightly more than a third of the power of a convection heater.

Smaller Temperature Differentials

The differences in how both deliver heat mean that you can also provide comfort much faster.
As mentioned earlier, electric heating relies on the movement of air to spread heat all across the room. In an outdoor setting, this would translate into some areas experiencing cold spots while others could be a bit too hot for comfort.

Infrared Outdoor Heating is provided evenly all across the room.

Another advantage of an Infrared Heater is space. It’s pretty common for others to require a significant amount of room just to set up the heating of the outdoor area. If you decide to buy an Infratech Heater it can be mounted almost anywhere, for example on the ceiling or high up on the walls.

Moving into that new home could be something that you have dreamed of for quite a while. It’s a space where you and your partner, or your children, can express themselves as they wish.

While the house itself may be something of a done deal in terms of design and placement, you still have a lot of room to work with. You can start to express your creativity and mould an outdoor entertaining area into a form that will suit your lifestyle.

Planning is the key to avoid future disappointment. As you stand there looking at what might be, take into account how the area will be used, who will use it and how it transitions from inside to outside as an outdoor space should be viewed as an extension of your home.

It’s not as simple as it seems so we have put together a few tips for you to consider before designing that dream outdoor area.

Get to Know Your Backyard

You might have a vision of the kind of plants you would like to have in your backyard. Or you’re envisioning the type of grass that your children and pets will be playing on. Or maybe you’re thinking of the perfect sunbathing paradise right next to a sizeable swimming pool.

All this, however, will first require you to know the specifics of your backyard. Understanding soil type is a major factor when determining the plants and grass that will call your backyard their home. Yes, plants can grow in a variety of places but whether they thrive or die in an environment is another matter altogether.

You will also have to account for the different microclimates that your area could experience as they will ultimately influence the choice of plants that you use.

There are four microclimates that you must consider:

Different plants do well in different microclimates so take notes over a week on what occurs in each section of your backyard where you potentially think plants will go. Using this information you can make a more informed decision and select plants that grow well in those microclimates.

Who Will Be Using the Backyard?

There are many different ways you can use your backyard so the two most important questions you have to ask yourself are “Who?” and “Why?”

Asking these two simple questions will go a long way in making your backyard the area you want it to be.

Whether it be a space for the kids and pets or an entertainer’s paradise, or anything else in between.

You have to start somewhere and these two questions will get you on the right track.

The next place to start would be to identify zones. Similar to how every room in your home has a certain purpose, you have to do the same for your backyard. For example, your kitchen and bedroom are both parts of your home but they serve completely different needs.

Zones: Just What Are They?

Your backyard has the potential to be a lot of things, a playground, bar, fire pit, or a combination of those at once.

This is why ‘zoning’ can help decide what goes where, and break things down into more manageable steps.

If you are one of those people that love to have family & friends around, an outdoor bar would be a great addition to your hosting package. There are countless design ideas out there and there is sure to be one to suit your style so you can extend those weekend parties late into the night.

Don’t worry about the cold either, infrared heating is the perfect choice to keep you and each of your guests nice and toasty all night long.

Maybe you’re the type that likes to lounge around the house when you have free time instead so creating a zone that incorporates a day bed would be a welcome addition to your outdoor area. 

You could also take a different route and build yourself an outdoor kitchen. While a kitchen is one of the most integral zones of every home, cooking outside brings a different atmosphere and can create a great area for entertaining guests.

The possibilities with what you can do with your outdoor area are endless, and that is the beauty of it.

As a homeowner, it is important for you to invest in high-quality outdoor heating, delivering a variety of benefits to you and your family. We all love spending our time outdoors and at home and with the right heating options, you can look to enjoy your patio, deck, or terrace all year round. 

Our range of Infratech residential outdoor heating units can provide you with the chance to enjoy your time outdoors, even during those colder months of the year, when we generally find ourselves having to be indoors too often.

Infratech Technology

Infratech Heaters are the most practical way to warm your outdoor entertainment areas, manufactured from recyclable materials and operating with no greenhouse emissions or odours.

From their quartz element, they emit a safe source of heat that is absorbed by solid objects, such as your furniture, rather than dissipating into the air like other conventional heater options. Through this process, you avoid the effect of the heat being “blown away” in outdoor windy conditions. 

Where some gas-burning heating options emit carbon monoxide and can be less efficient, our infrared heaters convert over 90% of its energy into radiant heat, which has a substantial financial impact on your running costs. 

In Summary

As you can see, the Infratech Heaters range can deliver a variety of outstanding benefits to your home or your business. With a range of sizing and options, we can provide a solution to your heating problems all year round. 

Quality-wise, our outdoor heating units go through a rigorous testing process before they get released into the market. Manufactured in the USA for more than 50 years, they are built with some of the highest safety standards in place and it is these practices that will provide you with peace of mind when in operation.

From an environmental perspective, Infratech Heaters stand out from the crowd due to their flexibility to be used indoors or out, silent operation and requiring no ventilation to operate. 

Not only do Infratech Heaters look great, but we are a brand you can trust to provide you with flexible heating options and will be a great investment in your home or business.

Why do we entertain outdoors only in the summer months? Australians love the great outdoors but what do we do when the sun goes down and the temperature drops after those warm days? How can we make those summer nights last longer outside?

5 Ways to Keep Warm Outside at Night Once the Temperature Drops

Distributor-Outdoor-Heating-Systems

Our Outdoor Living Habits

At the first sign of the weather being over 20 degrees and the promise of some sunshine we start to do as much as we possibly can outside –  reading, eating, playing, gardening, picnics, entertaining, BBQing, walking, anything we can do outside we do it. 

In Australia, each state has a different climate. Some states have consistently better weather and these are the states that tend to enjoy the outdoors much more. The Australian states that have daylight savings are the colder the ones with cooler climates. When these states put their clocks back 1 hour in the first week of October, the weather is improving so those states find themselves making a huge effort to enjoy the longer days outside.

How to Extend Your Summer Parties Into the Night

Our days in summer can be mild to very hot but our nights seem to be mild to cooler. So how do we make sure our summer nights last longer so family and guests don’t get chilly? 

With the installation of an Infratech infrared heater emitting radiant heat, your guests and family won’t even know there has been a temperature variation. Days can be sunshine filled but after the sun goes down, so does the temperature. To continue your outdoor enjoyment install a mounted outdoor heater which will take the chill from the night air.

Design Your Outdoor Area for Your Climate

If you are in the cooler states of Australia, the design of your outdoor area will be crucial in determining how often it is used. Colder states would include SA, VIC, TAS. Just because summertime is upon us doesn’t mean the nights are always warm.

You don’t want to be limited by the weather, you want to make sure your outdoor area is as functional and versatile as possible, no matter what the temperature is. In the colder states down south we can experience quick weather changes so we want to be comfortable outside which means a thoughtful design is crucial.

How to Design an Outdoor Area to Maximise Its Use

A stylish well designed outdoor area will have you spending less time inside, even in the colder months. Creating the right design and getting the right advice is a perfect opportunity to increase your liveability outside. Heating is now recognised as a key feature when it comes to turning our outdoors into a comfortable entertaining hub.

Infratech heaters have a wide range of size and function options available to suit every outdoor area, large or small.

Positioning of furniture and fixtures such as TVS, dining tables, wall mounted heating and BBQs will be the key to a seamless transition from your inside living to your outdoor living. It needs to have protection from the elements and unprotected corners. It will be pointless having an outdoor heated mounted and facing an open area. It will also prove to be a problem if your dining table is in an uncovered area of the pergola. Be practical and simplistic when designing your outdoor area. Less is more and if you really need to add colour, do it with plants.

Why are patio heaters
useful?

Outdoor heaters make our Summers last longer and thankfully make our Winters shorter. Spring is here and summer is fast approaching so it is the perfect time to look at buying a patio heater. Purchasing a good quality heater can make all the difference in the amount of time you use your outdoor entertaining space as you are no longer at the mercy of the elements.

What are the different types of patio heaters?

Recessed

This is a fantastic option which virtually makes the heater invisible. It is possible for electricians to recess the heater into a ceiling to make it flush so there is no visual impact with the heater, all you will notice is rich, warm, ambient heat. You will only notice the heaters above you if someone points them out. It is a great design addition for those planning their new patio.

Recessed Heaters

Wall mounted

Wall mounted options are also a great space saver and blend seamlessly into your decor.

Easily mounted by brackets, electric mounted heaters emit a warm ambient glow that will not be harsh to look at and will heat furniture and people, not the air above.

Freestanding

These heaters are designed to be mobile so you can change the position of the unit when required. They are a great for rental properties because you can take them with you to the next home. Freestanding heaters are good as an entry level option when people are looking to heat their outdoor area but there are some cons so be aware – they are heavy to move so do so carefully.

Depending on which model you buy the gas bottle will need changing once the gas has run out so a back up bottle would be a good option to have on hand. Make sure you have a resting spot for the unit as it will take up added space in the area.

Infratech outdoor patio

Gas or electric – how do I choose the correct heater?

Depending on which model you buy, the initial outlay with gas patio heaters is usually cheaper but you will end up paying more in the long run with gas bottles exchange, part replacement and maintenance. Outdoor gas heaters are not known for their longevity because they have more moving parts, valves and ignition components which wear out.

The output of a gas heater is around 50%. The heat is also rises so the bulk of the warmth lies just under the roof of your patio. If you have gas heating in your outdoor area, you generally only have one unit. Everyone has to congregate around this single heater to keep warm.

Electric heaters are usually mounted near an existing power source so the cost will be absorbed into your electricity bill. This cost should have minimal impact on your energy consumption because you do not have the patio heaters running day and night. The efficiency output of an electric radiant heater is around 90%.

The technology of radiant heat means the warmth is absorbed by objects and people, it does not dissipate into the air. When installing electric outdoor heating, people often put in multiple units, especially if the area is sizeable. This allows you to create different sections within your area.

For example, you would have a heater near the eating area and one near your seating or bar area. You will get an opportunity to enjoy your outdoor area more often and for longer periods making a good quality electric outdoor heater a worthwhile investment.

Indoor heating installation

Infratech are often associated with outdoor patio heating but their units are also suitable for indoor use. Because the heaters are categorised as “low profile”, meaning they have minimal clearance requirements, they can also complement any indoor installation. Wall or ceiling mounting would create seamless integration and a warm ambient environment for family members and guests.

How do I choose the right heater?

With a wide variety of heaters, controllers and mounting options, Infratech Heaters can show you the right heater for your space and budget. Firstly, it is important to determine the dimensions of the area including the length, width and height. Next, decide which way you would like to mount the heater – ceiling, wall, pole or flush mount. Then you need to choose colours and power wattage capabilities (depending on the power available to your site).

Environmental contributors in the area will need to be taken into consideration, such as insulation, windy areas and coverage provided by a building or wall. Coverage is the function of your selected heaters power and your mounting height. Refer to our coverage chart to help you determine the heater that will suit your area.

Example: A 3000 watt, 12.5 amp heater will cover an area of 2.5m x 2.5m with a mounting height of 2m – 2.7m.

3 different choices of controller

There is the custom controller which allows you to make infinite control adjustments including heat intensity, zone heating and timer functions. There is also the duplex stack switch which allows you to choose full power or half power. Lastly there is the solid state control package which is Infratechs most popular custom controller which has a relay panel and analogue function.

Infratech heaters can also be synced with Smart home integration. With the home management controls you can choose from a range of programming options which can allow you to save heat settings for off site control capabilities. It will also allow you to control zones and timing functions.

W Series

The W series includes single element heaters that range from 1500 to 4000 watts. It is suitable for mounting heights of between 2m – 3.3m.

Outdoor heating in your home

Outdoor heating has become a key feature of turning our outdoor area into a second entertaining hub. It allows for the family and guests to comfortably enjoy the outdoor area all year round. The heat of a good quality infrared heater will heat objects and people, not the air. The way we can mount the heater has also changed to reflect contemporary designs. They can be flush mounted, wall mounted, pole mounted or ceiling mounted.

How to choose your heater mounting preference

When we think of outdoor areas, we only think of the one we are looking at in our own house. For example, if a pergola only has the exposed beams and pitched roof, you would have the choice of pole mounting the unit, although you would have at least one wall in the structure, which would allow for wall mounting, but is this where your dining or sitting area is? If not, this would not make much sense.

If your structure had a built in ceiling, this would allow you to flush mount or ceiling mount the unit. However if you were renovating or build a brand new building, you may work the entire design around heating the area.

Why choose infrared heating?

The surface area infrared radiant heating can cover is much more than other heating options. This type of mounted heating can reach up to 4 X 5 metres. An Infrared choice of installation allows for improved presentation, better safety measures, seamless integration and a non invasive presence. Infratech infrared heaters have become the choice of architects, designers, engineers and people wanting quality reliable heating for their outdoor area.

Flush Mount vs Wall Mount heating

Flush mounted heaters

Flush mounted means the installation is flat with the surrounding area. Flush mounting can be applied to any W series or WD series Infratech heater. This form of installation has become one of the most popular for its minimalist look and versatility. It provides a low profile heating solution that blends seamlessly into the outdoor design. They are easy to install and can have with exposed edges or partially exposed with plaster. It is preferable and more cost effective for flush mounting to be incorporated in the design stage of a build but can also be achieved after build. The design and installation combination of an Infratech heater provides a range of choice for the customer.

Flush Mounted Heater Infratech

Wall mounted heaters

Wall mounted heaters are installed exactly as described, on the wall. This method is also popular because if you have a curve or slope on the mounting surface, the heater cannot be flush mounted so wall mounting is the next best option. It also allows for an after build addition to the area. A wall mounted installation does not require any cutting in to the existing structure. It merely requires a mounting plate with screws.

Wall Mounted Heating

Ceiling mounted heaters

Ceiling mount, as described is when the heater is installed on the ceiling. Flush mounting is when the heating unit is “flush” with the surface of the ceiling, effectively recessed into the ceiling. With ceiling mounting, the heating unit sits away from the ceiling and held in place with specialist brackets. It is important to have the seating design of your area worked out. There is no use installing the unit/s then having your seating area elsewhere. Equally, there would be little point having a heater mounted over your BBQ area.

Even though Infratech heaters (depending on the size) have quite a large heating radius, you will get optimum usage from the unit if you are sitting underneath or around the area where the heaters have been installed. Because of the advanced technology of Infratech infrared quartz heating, this style of radiant heat warms objects e.g. people and furniture. It does not simply rise and heat the air as many heating products do, so it is important to design the entertaining area accordingly.

Ceiling Mounted heating

Pole mounted heaters

Another popular mounting option. This is especially so for commercial applications. Infratech heating is often the choice of pubs, hotels, cafes, outdoor eateries, resorts, conference centres, the automotive industry and the list continues.

Sometimes with these sort of structures, there are not always walls dividing areas but there are often poles holding those structures up. For example, large pergola areas built for outdoor eating require beams to support the structure. Similarly, permanent canopy like structures for outdoor entertaining at resorts also require load bearing beams for support.

Pole mounted heaters also allow for closer proximity to the heater. This will allow for optimised heating of patrons in a seated area.

How safe is your heater?

Safety standards for heaters have continued to improve over the years.  We must always be aware and respect the fact that heaters radiate heat to warm our environment. However, it is important not to become complacent with this convenience of warmth. It is never a good idea to leave items directly on a heater to dry. Clothes, toys, linen, shoes, etc

Nothing should ever be directly left on the heater to quickly dry. This is not what heaters were designed for and unfortunately can result not only in the items on the heater being damaged, but may lead to a house fire.

What is the safest form of heating?

Electric heaters are often referred to as other names. These include halogen, quartz, or radiant heaters. These are considered the most efficient, effective and cheapest form of heating.

Electric heaters also often have thermostats so they cut out at a certain temperature and shut off completely if there are any electrical faults.

They also heat the room by heating their own internal element. This means they do not emit any harmful gases or odours. This can be very important when it comes to allergies and skin irritations.

They have less working parts than gas heaters so limited chances of multiple parts needing replacement or creating hazards due to faulty accessories.

Is it safe to run a heater all night?

Research conducted by the National Fire Protection Association has revealed faulty heating units are the second leading cause of house fires. They do come with safety features however it is not recommended heaters be left on overnight.

Sometimes heaters are left on so as to help dry washing. This should be avoided. The object holding the washing may break or fall over, creating the risk of the clothing falling onto the heater and creating a fire.

From a health perspective, running a heater all night can also dry out your skin and nasal passages.

Why Infratech heaters are safe

Infratech are world leaders when it comes to research and development. They are made from recyclable materials and release no greenhouse gases, odours or ultraviolet light.

Radiant heat is fast becoming one of the most popular methods of heating in both the domestic and industrial markets. It can be used both indoors and out in spaces where heated air cannot easily be contained and re-circulated.

Infratech heaters are an example of far infrared which means the wavelengths can travel a distance to warm a particular area.

Gas heaters, if not maintained properly can sometimes release life threatening carbon monoxide (CO). Electric infrared heaters emit no harmful gases to affect people or the environment.

Electric heating is considered the best form of warmth as it is 100% efficient. It turns all the electricity it draws into actual heat.

Infratech infrared heaters are wall mounted, pole mounted or ceiling mounted. The stops any suggestions of contact burns. No part of the unit is free standing so not only is it a safe distance from objects or people, it is whisper quiet.

infratech heaters are safe

How to prevent burns risks with heaters

In the colder months, heater burns account for many serious injuries. These often occur when young children are not supervised around exposed fires sure as open fires, portable gas heating and BBQs.

If a burn is larger than the size of the victims hand, or the burn has occurred on the face, neck or genitals, call Triple Zero immediately.

Heater safety maintenance

All other forms of heating apart from infrared heating require maintenance. This ongoing cost needs to be taken into consideration when you choose your form of heating.

Gas heaters require at least yearly checks and possible equipment and accessory replacement. Wood fires require flu and chimney checks as well as regular checking of the safety of the surrounding area.

Radiation and your heater

Infrared technology is a form of electromagnetic radiation. The initial suggestion of radiation is often a concern for people. This is a different form of radiation as opposed to the unsafe kind. Infrared heating is 100% safe.

Certain forms of electromagnetic radiation can be dangerous. These include the electromagnetic light we cannot see, such as ultraviolet and x rays. The visible light we see though, such as infrared in absolutely safe.

Infrared heating is widely adopted by business, including hotels, cafes, resorts, conference centers, clubs, bars, etc due to its high safety levels. Owners can ensure the safety of their staff and patrons.
