Infrared heaters warm people and objects directly, like the sun, instead of heating the surrounding air. This makes them more efficient and effective outdoors, especially in breezy or open spaces.

Most residential units can be hardwired by a licensed electrician. Some smaller models plug directly into a standard outlet, but higher wattages (3,000W+) often need a dedicated 240V line. We always recommend using a certified electrical contractor for safety and warranty protection.

High-quality infrared heaters, like Infratech, are built for 10+ years of reliable use with minimal maintenance. Elements may eventually need replacement after thousands of hours of operation, but the fixtures themselves are extremely durable and designed for Canadian conditions.
