Do Infrared Heaters Use a lot of Electricity?

Do infrared heaters use a lot of electricity?

Vibrant orange and yellow leaves, huge pumpkins, and a day spent at A and H Farms with the family are all hallmarks of the season. Before long, these beautiful, crisp fall days will give way to much colder Manhattan, Kansas winter weather. This fall and winter, don’t lose your outdoor space to the cooler temperatures. Instead of retreating indoors, feel cozy and comfortable using your patio or deck all winter long with an infrared patio heater. 

But, is using an infrared space heater in winter going to create an astronomical electrical bill? Do infrared heaters use a lot of electricity? Don’t worry! When used and designed properly, infrared heaters are energy efficient. Here are a few ways to stay warm outside while maximizing the energy efficiency of your patio heater.

Purchase Infrared Heaters with an Energy-Efficient Design

When it comes to heating your outdoor space, choosing a high quality heater is essential to minimizing electrical use. Choose a brand that is proven for excellence in quality and design. That’s why at Energy Center-Manhattan Pool, we carry Solaira™ Infrared Heaters. Solaira is the industry leader in infrared heaters because of its exceptional products, high standards, and satisfied users. Not only that, their products are designed to be energy efficient. 

All Solaira space heaters are designed and constructed using high quality, energy-efficient components. Additionally, Solaira Patio Heaters do not need a warm-up period, saving loads of wasted energy. In fact, the second you turn your outdoor space heater on, it is 85% functional and fully effective within mere minutes.  

Properly Space Your Patio Heaters for Maximum Usage

Placement and spacing of patio heaters make a huge difference in energy efficiency. The best place to install your outdoor space heaters varies greatly depending on the size and shape of your space. When you order from Energy Center-Manhattan Pool, our team will help you design your outdoor area to minimize electrical use and keep your patio comfortable with Solaira Infrared Heaters. We will make suggestions on the most energy-efficient mounting heights, preferred locations for installation, and the number of heaters. 

Consider Adding Digital Controls and Occupancy Sensors

Make your Solaira Patio Heaters even more energy efficient by adding smart features. The Solaira Remote Temperature Monitor will prevent the heaters from turning on if the outside temperature is warmer than your heater settings. Additionally, the optional Occupancy Sensor will monitor movement on your patio and prevent the heater from running if your outdoor space is empty. Both of these smart controls will significantly reduce wasted energy use and can save you big on monthly electrical use.
