Herschel Infrared heats your home the same way the sun heats the earth. It uses far infrared (FIR) energy to warm up the fabric of the building and all the things inside it, including you. This turns the very surfaces of your home into part of your radiant heating solution, delivering a consistently warm and comfortable environment.
Unlike convection heat, which warms the air and moves it around the house, radiant heat travels through the air and is absorbed by objects and the room materials itself. Once the objects and room have been heated enough, they radiate the heat and your whole room becomes part of the heating system.
Heating the air using convection methods is an ineffi cient solution because air cannot hold much heat. This is why a cool draft can lower the temperature of your room quickly, or why warmth evaporates almost immediately when you switch off the heater or heat pump. Convection requires that warm air continually be created to maintain a given temperature so it consumes more energy.
