Inrfared Heating and Quartz Element

Infratech heaters are manufactured from recycled materials and produce zero greenhouse emissions or odors. They utilize infrared or radiant energy, as it is most practical way to add warmth to spaces like patios, enclosed areas, or any indoor or outdoor setting where heated air cannot easily be re-circulated or held.

A heated quartz element emits a safe, clean wavelength of light that is absorbed by solid objects. This process allows for the transferring of heat directly to a person, or object rather than heating the air. Because of this, Infratech heaters distribute warmth evenly and your heat will not simply “blow away” in windy conditions. Infratech medium wave quartz element heaters emit a barely discernible, pleasing glow that will not affect the ambience of your gathering – unlike competitive short-wave or halogen electric heaters that produce a very harsh glare or bright-colored light.

Comfortable Heat for all your Guests

The appearance of your décor and creating a more relaxing environment, Infratech infrared quartz elements are always the best choice. Infratech quartz elements provide comfortable medium wave heat. Competitive products with short wave halogen elements produce more intense heat while emitting very bright and harsh-colored light. By contrast, Infratech medium wave elements effectively heat your space, while providing a soft, warm glow that is practically unnoticeable.

How long will it last?

How long can I expect an Infratech quartz element to last? Infratech elements are rated for 5,000 hours of continuous use. In many installations you may enjoy your heater for years before a replacement would be needed. Always refer to the W-Series manual for specific instructions, and be sure to disconnect the power to your heater before attempting to change an element.
