Infrared heaters are now an integral part of many people’s everyday lives. But if you haven’t yet looked into the subject in any depth – perhaps you haven’t even heard anything about it – how do you find your way around? In our short guide, we show you the benefits and advantages of infrared heating and the many ways you can use it in your everyday life.
Is infrared heating right for me?
The wide range of possible applications makes it easy to effectively integrate infrared heating into your home.

Camping is not your thing? Maybe you’re renovating an apartment or building a house and want your child to have a new room with a cozy corner to play and feel good? Instead of installing a conventional electronic heater, why not use an infrared heater as an alternative? Due to the direct heat radiation, it requires less energy to produce the same amount of heat. This means that infrared heaters can be used much more cheaply in the long term.
What wattage should it be?
The required wattage for your infrared heater depends on various aspects of the room conditions. An important factor is the insulating properties of your room. In many cases, the newer the building, the better insulated it is. The cubic meters of the room are another parameter, plus the number of exterior walls and windows. For example, if you want to heat a room that is very long or L-shaped, two smaller panels are recommended instead of one larger one. For a conservatory, you will need a higher wattage instead.
Mounting on the ceiling is a good way to install the infrared heater unobtrusively and in a space-saving manner. In addition, the room, including the floor, is heated evenly from above. You can find out more about the options for ceiling heating in this article. We will be happy to help you choose the right one for your individual needs – simply contact our friendly customer service team.
Stay healthy!
Infrared heaters are also a sensible way of regulating heat in terms of health. Heating with infrared radiation is particularly beneficial for house dust allergy sufferers. Traditional heating systems cause the heated room air to rise upwards and the resulting air flow circulates between the floor and ceiling. In this way, dust mites, dust and pollen are stirred up and become part of the inhaled air – a major problem for allergy and asthma sufferers.
The situation is different with infrared heaters. Due to the lack of air turbulence in the room, the fine dust pollution is lower and the unpolluted air increases general well-being. In addition, blood circulation can be increased, the immune system strengthened and joint pain and inflammation reduced.
What is the advantage of infrared heaters?
The Könighaus infrared heaters are operated with 230 volt alternating current, so one socket is sufficient per panel. They are designed to save space and can be hung on the wall like a large picture using the enclosed drilling template and spacers. Alternatively, you can position castor or metal feet under your heating panel and turn your infrared heater into a mobile heater. Flexible and customizable – exactly where you want it to be warm.
Another advantage: thanks to the fast and efficient heatgeneration, you don’t have to wait long for the room to heat up. Using the socket thermostat supplied, you can set and regulate the time and duration of the heating as required. When the temperature is reached, the heater switches itself off and its overheating protection ensures that it is not overloaded. In addition, the purchase costs of infrared heating are low compared to conventional heating systems. The heater is supplied complete with drilling template, operating instructions and installation materials, no further precautions are necessary. Due to their reliable technology, we offer a 5-year guarantee on our infrared heaters. There are no further maintenance and servicing costs – great, right?
A look into the future
According to the Federal Environment Agency (UBA), private households used 67.6% of their final energy consumption to heat rooms in 2018. The main components are finite fossil fuels such as natural gas and oil. Due to constantly rising prices, infrared heaters are a sensible alternative for many landlords and homeowners. Especially with regard to renewable energies, infrared heating is a way to positively influence your ownCO2 balance. By using photovoltaic systems, renewable energy can be generated independently and heating can be CO2 neutral . This makes heating with radiant heat not only a cost-effective but also an environmentally friendly alternative. Precise, targeted and individually applicable.
Conclusion
The benefits of infrared heating naturally depend heavily on personal requirements. Basically, however, it can be said that infrared heating is suitable for many areas of life and is also a sensible addition to existing heating systems with regard to alternative energies in the future.
