What is Infrared Energy?

Radiant Infrared energy is the oldest form of heating used to provide heating comfort. Radiant tube heaters deliver the heat to the ground level verses heating the surrounding air. Using a Radiant Tube Heater takes advantage of this principle, heating like the sun.  The radiant energy that is radiated from the radiant tube heater is absorbed by floor and objects within a room without physical contact with the heat source.  The heating of the air within a building when using radiant tube heater is primarily done by the largest mass or heat sink in a building, the floor.  Additional heating benefits are provided by the other masses with in a building tables, inventory, cars, ect… This method of heating keeps the heat where you need it down by the floor.  This all translates into better comfort, more efficient heating, and a lower cost of heating.
