Capacity and Mounting Planning for Electric Heaters
Wattage, mounting height, device angle, control type and safe use criteria for electric infrared heater selection.
Guide overview
Electric infrared heaters are preferred in many commercial spaces because of fast start-up, easy control and flexible mounting options. Correct capacity and positioning are essential.
Wattage is not the only parameter
Mounting height, device angle, exposure level and user distance are as important as nominal power.
