May 22, 2012 | Eight infrared heaters per block will hang above the three block stretch. “It works similar to the sun. It's a beam of infrared light that focuses in on an object of person and makes them warm .. The heat doesn't blow away because it is a beam of light
May 22, 2012 | Recently, more customers have gravitated toward infrared heaters as a way to keep homes warm at less expense. Rather than pulling moisture out of the air to heat it in the way a space heater or wood heater does, infrared heaters direct rays that warm

May 22, 2012 | The principle behind this foot bath device is energy released from electricity, which is converted into far-infrared radiation. And the secret to this principle is the cotton mesh heater. This heater uses cotton thread that is woven into a mesh and
Which is "better," a blue flame or infrared heater?

We have a one-room small cabin (12' x 20') in which we are going to install either a blue flame or infrared LP wall mounted heater. We already have a 500 gallon LP tank. The cabin has drywall, basic fiberglass insulation, and wood panels outside. I understand the concept of how each works, but based on your experiences, which do you feel would be best for our situation. I just want to hear what others have to say. Temperatures in this area rarely get below 25 in the winter and, although it is rare, it is not unheard of to get close to zero on occasion.
Infrared heaters are far safer. Especially in a cabin situation.
Can I use a 230 volt infrared heater in a 120 volt outlet?

I'm trying to get a specific heat of around 350-400 degrees. The heater puts out around 1076 degrees. The watts are only 1000. I would like to plug the infrared heater to a 120 volt outlet and get a varialble voltage transformer to adjust from there.
Here is the heater: http://www.mcmaster.com/ part # 3110K72
If I wire the 230 volt to fit the 120 volt outlet will it cut my power in half, thus having around half the heat? Or is this incorrect?
There is no motors to worry about, just the heating element itself.
230volt will not work on 120volt outlet. A transformer would have to be used to bump the voltage up to 230volt at the panel, then a feed from the transformer to heater. This all should be done by a qualified electrician. Sounds like it would be cheaper to find a heater to work with 120volt operation.
