Types and characteristics of ceiling heaters

Ceiling devices that generate infrared rays are considered to be a profitable investment in home improvement, office, industrial premises: they will provide a comfortable microclimate at minimal cost. The main thing is to choose the right model based on the budget and basic requirements.

The main types of ceiling heaters

Ceiling infrared heater is suitable for local and complete heating of the bedroom, office, production hall, commercial premises, provided that you select the right device, evaluate parameters such as:

  • power (from 400 to 6000 W);
  • the wavelength coming from the heating element (from 5.6 to 10 microns);
  • dimensions;
  • moisture protection level (if there is an IP44 mark, the model can be installed in the bathroom or in the sauna, where the humidity level is high);
  • device weight
  • appearance (color, shape, presence / absence of protective grilles).

If you do not have time to deal with the technical subtleties, we recommend that you evaluate the types of ceiling heaters, divided into two groups: domestic and industrial.

As a rule, each type of heating device is made taking into account the estimated heating area, the angle of distribution of the flow of warm air (for a specific zone or the whole room), the maximum heating temperature.

IR heaters designed to solve domestic needs have the following characteristics:

  • power - from 600 W;
  • maximum temperature - up to 250 ° C;
  • wavelength - from 4 to 10 microns.

Thanks to these indicators in the bedroom, hallway, living room, where a ceiling infrared heater is installed, you will create a comfortable temperature regime. You will also appreciate the neat and stylish design of the devices: there are models made in bright colors, without unnecessary patterns and ornaments, and there are models that are suitable for interiors implemented in bright colors. As a rule, attractive “decorations” are applied to the surface of devices.

Industrial IR devices have higher technical indicators. Their power varies from 2000 to 6000 W, the wavelength of the heating elements does not exceed 5.6 microns, and the temperature of the heating element reaches 650 ° C. With their help, you will provide comfortable working conditions in production shops, retail space, office premises, the area of which exceeds 50 square meters.

Three reasons to choose a ceiling heater

Unlike floor and wall mounted appliances designed for local heating, appliances mounted on the ceiling have three significant advantages.

Heating. The flow of warm radiation is evenly distributed over the entire area of the room, heating furniture, room accessories, carpet. This approach is considered more effective than heating certain areas of the bedroom, study or living room. You just need to install one IR device, and enjoy the warmth and comfort.

Heating time. Ceiling heaters warm the air to + 20-25 ° C for 10-15 minutes at an initial temperature below the required.

Saving. Due to the fact that the room warms up not only air, but also room attributes, you reduce energy consumption by almost 30%, and after turning off the heater, the comfortable air temperature remains for several hours.

It is recommended to order a household or industrial ceiling heater in a specialized store where you will have the opportunity to inspect the device, get all the information about its technical characteristics and get a quality guarantee from the manufacturer.
