Infrared heating is a method of heating that uses infrared radiation to transfer heat directly to objects and people in a space, rather than warming the air. This type of heating is similar to the warmth felt from the sun, as it heats surfaces and bodies without needing to heat the surrounding air first. Infrared heaters are often used in homes, garages, and outdoor spaces because they are energy-efficient and provide instant warmth. They come in various forms, including infrared panels, heating lamps, and portable heaters, making them versatile for different heating needs.
