Infratech Heaters Made In USA
Infratech Heaters Made In USA

In previous times, our heating options were neither as effective or efficient as they are today. Household used other methods to stay warm. It conjures up memories of taking hot water bottles to bed, snake draught stoppers, having dressing gowns draped over our bedding for extra warmth, taking hot soup in a thermos to work, school or football. Dressing appropriately and never leaving the house without a coat. Coming home and putting slippers on. I am happy to say I still do much of this. Times have changed, thankfully heating quality and choice has improved but there are still many ways we can keep warm – on the cheap.

Shower or bath as soon as you get home from work or school

Who said you only put your pjs on before bed? Having some warm water on your body is a great way to wash the day away, reset your brain, warm up and tell your body that your looking after yourself.

Cook those comfort foods

The older I get, the more I am appreciating Winter. The first things to come out when Winter starts are my slow cooker and my soup recipes. I simply cook more in Winter. I have a minimum of one homemade soup in my fridge at all times between March and August.

This means there is always a hot lunch for work and school, there is always a hearty go-to when family gets home, or there’s always the “I can’t be bothered cooking tea, it’s soup and toast tonight”. Give your householders the choice of flavour they will eat. This way there will be no wastage or whinging about not liking what’s on offer.

Try to plan your meals with a slow cooker. You really only require veggies and/or meat. Cut up all veggies and ingredients the night before. That way, when you get up, you throw it all in the slow cooker, set the temp and walk out the door. By the time you get home, serve everyone a pre dinner bowl of soup, grab a shower, get nice and cosy then produce a gourmet slow cooked meal, early “parent of the year” votes will be flying all over the kitchen. Not to mention it’s just about the best “no financial” gift you can give yourself, a peaceful end to the day.

Good insulation

Insulation is not very interesting, nor exciting, however if you have poor insulation it is expensive! A poorly insulated house can lose between 25% and 35% through its roof. As if you needed more incentive to insulate well, there are Summer benefits too. A better insulated house in Summer means a cool house for longer.

You can retrofit insulation so don’t think if you haven’t insulated well at the time of building or renovating, or simply don’t know what the previous owners did, there is an option. Have a professional check your insulation which will allow you to make good energy efficiency decisions from there. Households that invest in well planned insulation save HUNDREDS of dollars on energy bills each year.

Go to eateries with good indoor and outdoor heating

We do stay home more in Winter but if you are going out, choose a venue with super sized heating. There is a big difference between commercial heaters. If you can find somewhere with Infratech infrared heating you will definitely enjoy the benefits.

Infratech heaters have a heat radius that covers up to 4 metres by 5 metres. They are silent to operation, emit no greenhouse gases, can be wall or pole mounted or recessed into the ceiling. You probably won’t know where they are, you will simply stay warm. They are electric, not gas, so they won’t run out of fuel and have a 90% efficiency so the heat produced won’t simply float to the ceiling.

Change your mind – change your rug

Wooden floors are very popular these days. Easy to clean, better for allergy sufferers, a renovation feature, etc. Unfortunately though, bad for retaining heat. Rugs are a cheap and easy way of fixing this problem. The beauty of it is you can change rugs when you change your decor, your furniture configuration, or your mind!

Draft be gone!

There are always little nooks and crannies in the home for the wind to whistle in. Implements to minimise drafts under doorways have been around for years. Previously there was only the “sausage dog” option. Thankfully, there are now less comical choices available at hardware stores. There are now many draft sealing options for doors, windows and cracks which general involve tape.

Curtains please!

Draping windows in curtains is a surefire way to keep the cold out. Blinds will also do the trick but curtains seem to cover all areas of the window so don’t be too quick to throw out those old curtains when you move into a new house just because you’re not fond of the colour. They will do an amazing job in Winter of keeping the cold out and your energy bill down.

Put your ceiling fan on reverse – yes really!

Fans are not just there to keep us cool in Summer, they actually perform a very important function in Winter too. Whether they be natural and mechanical all forms of heating rise. If you turn your ceiling fan on reverse whilst the heating is on, it is like doubling your heating output.

This means you should not need the heater on as high.

Traditional Melbourne Weather

Melbourne can be a cold place between June and August each year. Temperatures average 15 degrees during the day and can plummet to single digit figures in the evening. In these winter months we tend to stay home more. We only venture out when we can guarantee a warm and cosy evening. Looking for a place to meet friends or enjoy a meal out can be challenging.

Maximise outdoor home entertaining areas

Sometimes in the harsh winter months, it’s just easier to stay home rather than venture to restaurants or entertainment venues. Everybody feels the same. So why not turn your house into the entertainment environment? You can have friends over for a drink, enjoy a meal or perhaps watch a sporting event. These days, many homes are incorporating some form of outdoor heating. This allows us to maximise the usage of this extra living space all year round. Infratech infrared radiant heat is the most energy and cost efficient form of heating on the market. It is silent, environmentally friendly and generates 90% efficiency. They can be wall, pole or ceiling mounted. For those who want a completely seamless integration, they can even be recessed flush into the ceiling.

Heating your patio area means you can catch up with friends all year round, no matter what the weather. An infrared type of patio heater can create a warmth and ambiance that welcomes friends and family. Infratech heaters generate an amount of heat that is at a 90% efficiency level. Gas heating is less than 30% and fire pit heating is less than 20%. Running costs are minimal and they are whisper quiet. For many people, they want their outdoor heating to quickly warm the area without being a focal point. This is exactly what Infratech outdoor heaters do.

A great way to gain more living outdoor space when you do a home improvement or renovation is to heat the outdoor area. This is the perfect way to increase the usable space in your home. When doing this, outdoor heating is a major decision. Consideration needs to be given to fuel type and ongoing costs.

Maximise outdoor entertaining areas in clubs and restaurants

Infratech infrared heaters are not only an outdoor application but an indoor option as well. This is good news for owners of entertainment or food venues. Many restaurants, night clubs, hotels, resorts, cafes, etc. install Infratech heaters. Efficient heating can allow a business to maintain a loyal customer base all year round. This translates to the viability and increased profits of a food and beverage business.

Cold Melbourne months can often restrict food and beverage suppliers growing their customer base. Then they have to promote heavily again in the summer to try to regain patronage. Venues that have good sources of heating stay open for longer. This creates loyal patronage and is a perfect opportunity for subliminal, cost free advertising. Word of mouth will definitely contribute to increased customer traffic.

If you run a more expensive type of heating, whether it be indoor or out, you may want to consider Infratech heating. The units cost only cents per hour to run, are safe and heat objects including people and furniture – not the air. They do not emit any greenhouse gases and can be installed flush into ceilings for complete design discretion.

Why not make your venue the perfect destination for every season? We also know in Melbourne we can have four seasons in one day. You need to be prepared with superior heating options to offer customers. Infratech have been researching, manufacturing and installing commercial grade heating for over 50 years. They have an inhouse design team that work with architects and supervisors. This allows you to tailor the perfect configuration of heating for your indoor or outdoor needs. Infratech pride themselves on their material quality, before and after sales information and flexibility and functionality of design.

Reasons for Using Outdoor Heating

Infratech heaters are not only found in homes. They are a commercial application that can be found in many restaurants, night clubs, hotels, resorts, cafes, etc. Infratech infrared heaters pay for themselves very quickly in entertainment precincts as they allow a venue to be open all year round, both inside and out. If a venue has a good following, an increase in patronage will be a natural progression with extended opening hours.

Various cafes and bars provide outdoor dining opportunities for their patrons. If the venue does not provide heating they are sadly missing the opportunity for passing traffic and free advertising. If people are driving or walking past a venue and see diners outside, they know there must be some form of heating which may entice them to come in. Even in the colder months many people still like the opportunity to dine outside.

Venues Can Offer Longer Trading Hours

One of the limiting factor in trading hours is unseasonal weather, especially in Melbourne. Venues that have good heating sources often offer longer opening hours. This creates a consistent following of patrons because they can be sure if it is a bit chilly outside, they will be warm. Customers are loyal. If you provide a consistent service and have regular patrons they are bound to enjoy the longer opening hours. Giving people longer trading hours gives them the opportunity the stay and continue spending. Giving patrons restricted hours gives them the opportunity to leave and possibly continue to spend money elsewhere, where it’s warm.

Costs of Doing Business and Extending Trading Hours

Many heating options in large venues are expensive to run. Split systems, gas heating units, electric heating units, outdoor gas heaters, wood fires. There is a cost to all of these, some more than others. Infratech strip heats cost only cents per hour to run.

The major cost of the unit is at the time of purchase, after that you know exactly what your outgoings will be with regards to heating. Because you have installed a safe, no intrusive, inexpensive heating unit, you can now justify extending opening hours. Some venues have summer hours and winter hours in keeping with daylight savings and warmer weather. Your venue can have extended opening hours all year long with Infratech outdoor heaters. This would certainly increase revenue.

Park Slope Design - Infratech Helps Create an Outdoor Area that People will Love

We all like the feel of being surrounded by nature, especially when we are relaxing. The advent of outdoor entertaining has seen a resurgence in recent years. People now have outdoor kitchens, wall mounted televisions, outdoor lounge and dining areas, larger pergolas, etc. As Australians, we have really embraced the notion that the patio area can essentially be considered another room in the house.

It can be seen as more than just an entertaining area when friends come for dinner. Space can be used by children to play video games or entertain their own friends, it can be considered the man cave. If it is enclosed it can be a separate playroom for toddlers or just the peaceful retreat to read or have quiet time. It has really become a versatile add on for so many families and when designed correctly, can be used all year round.

Outdoor Entertaining Designs

We have seen the size of properties change in recent years. The Australian dream of owning a quarter acre block is all but a distant memory. We are now moving into different shaped houses and odd-shaped blocks. The clever use and design of the outdoor space in homes have started to become the first consideration for those building or renovating. Designers and clients alike have become all too aware of making the most of every square inch.

Here are 6 things to consider when designing your outdoor space

  1. Storage, storage, storage – As if you haven’t got enough to do inside, don’t clutter up the outside either. Plan for some outdoor storage space, even in the smallest of areas.
  2. Vertical gardens – The key to an instant lift without taking away from ground space. Green is always good for the eye, the soul, not to mention the lungs with carbon dioxide being sucked in, oxygen pumped out.
  3. The BBQ – The outdoor cooking industry has also made the most of our love of outdoor entertaining. There are so many fantastic options including charcoal, electric and gas BBQs, smokers and pizza ovens. Once you’ve decided on the size for your area, buy the best outdoor cooker in that range.
  4. Furniture – Make it comfortable, neutral and minimal. Don’t go for current trending colours or too big for the area. With dining furniture think twice about bench seats, a great space saver but you won’t be comfortable sitting on something with no back support for more than about half an hour.
  5. Heating – If you want the most out of your outdoor space it needs to be heated for use all year round.
  6. Keep it simple – Don’t make this a cluttered area. Make it easy and spacious enough for people to move around easily and uncluttered enough so you don’t waste time cleaning and rearranging.

What Designers Are Saying

Parke Slope Design

In a recent design, Joan incorporated Infratech heaters. She researched the category and realised there was nothing else on the market that fitted her design concepts or offered comparable quality. She was able to choose their finish so as to complement the existing outdoor design. She liked the design because they were thin and inconspicuous. They don’t jut out as a standalone appliance. They blend with the whole space.

Stout Design Build

Outdoor spaces that are multifunctional. Space, where the kids can play, shouldn’t detract from the beauty of the garden. It also needs to be functional and versatile, think entertaining clients or watching the game with friends. We are also getting a lot of requests for plunge pools and spas. When it comes to handling the transitional weather we always think Infratech heating. We use Infratech because of their streamlined look and quality.

Ro-Rockett Designs

We choose the WD-6024 for their low profile and performance. When we work with a very tall space, the WD-6024 gave us the output and control to condition the covered deck spaces. With the performance of the units, they are able to extend the use of the outdoor space.

Focus on Heating

In the past, outdoor heating provided a fairly limited choice. With gas heaters there was the environmental impact, the cost of replacing the gas bottle and the heat wasn’t very directional, extra use of space, etc. Wood fires are a romantic notion but also come with drawbacks. The ongoing cost of wood, where to store it, environmental implications, everything smelling of smoke, the danger to children, extra use of space etc. Infrared heaters are now making quite an impact on the outdoor strip heater market.

Features of Infratech heaters:

How does heating play a crucial role all year round?

Some people haven’t even considered their outdoor area to be an all year prospect. Many only have a heating option to use when the weather contradicts the forecast. Melbourne can be especially fickle in that regard. We have seen the issues of the gas and wood heating present. With their low output, ongoing costs and environmental impacts, we could be forgiven for only wanting to use them occasionally. This makes the use of your outdoor area very limited.

Infratech infrared heating with creating the most effective source of an odourless, silent, environmentally safe, cost-efficient form of warmth with maximum output. With just the flick of a switch, you will be able to enjoy your outdoor area in summer, autumn, winter or spring. Infratech heating will change the way you live.

Infratech Infrared Heating

Infratech infrared heating has been very popular in Australia, especially with those chilly nights we have become accustomed to. Infratech prides themselves as industry leaders in electric infrared technology, with more than 50 years in the industry.

Infrared Heater Efficiency

A staggering 90% of the heat generated by an Infratech infrared heater is converted into radiant heat. Other forms of heating run at 50% efficiency at best. Infratech’s secret is in the quality of their manufacturing and components. They have infrared quartz technology. The heat is transmitted through the infrared component. From here it only heats solid objects. For example, furniture, floors, chairs, people, etc. Basic physics tells us that heat rises. This makes anything other than infrared heating mostly inefficient when heating outdoor areas.

Infrared Heating vs Gas

There a quite a few advantages in favour of electric heating over gas heating.

Infratech Infrared Heating

What is More Economical, Gas or Electric Outdoor Heating?

Electric is a much better option. Electric heating doesn’t have nearly the amount of moving parts as gas. You also need to consider the ignition parts, gas specific valves and burners that gas heating requires. The parts all need maintenance and repair at some stage, all of which add up to an ongoing consumer cost. Also, the cost of changing the gas bottle becomes significant over time.

Is Electric Heating Safer Than Gas Heating?

There are many aspects of electric heating that are much safe than gas. Firstly, electric heaters can be wall or ceiling mounted. This keeps them away from little fingers, clothes and other hazards which may start a fire or result in someone getting burnt. There is always a possibility with gas that there may be a leak which could lead to an explosion and/or fire. There is no harmful emission produced by an electric heater.

Ro Rockett Design

Ro Rockett Designs

Ro Rockett is where architecture and design come together. Encompassing 2 locations, in San Francisco and Los Angeles, the firm was co-founded by architects Jawson Ro and Zac Rockett in 2011.

Their design visions focus on the use of natural light and materials with a purpose. The recipients of an Architizer A+ award in 2018, they have also come to the notice of architectural magazines including Dwell and Dezeen for was quoted as “stunning, site-sensitive design”.

A coveted architectural company with an outstanding design reputation, a recent design has been a real stand out. They transformed a family home in Teton, Idaho. Built above a marshland it encapsulated stunning views of the Teton mountain range. The natural element of the property was at the heart of the design. The surrounding environment was not only a priority but so was its preservation.

When asked what inspires them when creating a custom outdoor space for clients, they answer:

“The thought and image of them using the space to the fullest and the spaces allowing for a repeatedly evolving experience of the surroundings inspires us. Flexibility is key to allow for as many possibilities of using the space as well. We don’t want to be so prescriptive that a client finds themselves unable to use a space because it doesn’t match their personal preference of use”.

When it came to heating the outdoor area Ro Rockett chose Infratech heaters. When asked why they choose Infratech WD-6024 SS flush mounted heaters in this outdoor design they said the following:

“We choose the WD-6024 for their low profile and performance. We were working with a very tall space and the WD-6024 gave us the output and control to condition the covered deck space that our clients asked us to provide. With the performance of the units, they are able to extend the use of the outdoor space.”

Joan Grabel – Founder

Joan’s work in her chosen field speaks for itself. She has graced TV series such as Professional Grade and Landscapers Challenge. Joan starts to build her brief by finding out what the client’s interests are, lifestyle, tastes and goals. Elements Joan takes into consideration when weighing all this up is location, the climate and the architecture of the home and of course the client’s budget.

In a recent design in South Bay, Los Angeles Joan incorporated Infratech heaters. She researched the category and realised there was nothing else on the market that fitted her design concepts or offered comparable quality. She was able to choose their finish so as to complement the existing outdoor design. She liked the design because they were thin and inconspicuous. They don’t jut out as a standalone appliance. They blend with the whole space.

Stout Design Build

Stout Design Build

Based in Los Angeles, California, Tom Stout founded the company in 2000. It is a start to finish landscaping and remodelling business. Tom’s favourite place to be is outside. His passion extends to creating unique and sustainable designs. The company specialise in a concept called SoCal (southern California) landscape. It is a collaboration of form, function and sustainability.

Infratech is the go-to outdoor heating solution for Stout Design. When asked about on-trend designs for Autumn/Winter 2018 he commented:

“Outdoor spaces that are multifunctional. Space, where the kids can play, shouldn’t detract from the beauty of the garden. It also needs to be functional and versatile, think entertaining clients or watching the game with friends. We are also getting a lot of requests for plunge pools and spas. When it comes to handling the transitional weather we always think Infratech heating. We use Infratech because of their streamlined look and quality.”

Then we asked, how does the SoCal environment influence your design decisions?

“There are a few specifics that apply to Los Angeles when considering a design. People pay a lot of money to live in the area so we maximise every square inch of the property. Front yards can get turned into outdoor lounge rooms and side yards might become outdoor living spaces. We endeavour to make a multi-purpose area that can be dedicated to relaxing after the LA traffic, somewhere the kids can play or equally as functional to be used as a professional entertaining area. Then for the cool SoCal evenings it has to be Infratech.
