What is Quartz Element in Infratech heating?

Infrared Heating and the Quartz Element

Infratech heaters are crafted using recycled materials and do not generate any greenhouse emissions or unpleasant odors. They work by utilizing infrared or radiant energy, which is the most efficient way to add warmth to spaces such as patios, enclosed areas, or any indoor or outdoor setting where heated air cannot easily be recirculated or retained.

A heated quartz element emits a safe, clean wavelength of light that is absorbed by solid objects. This process allows for the direct transfer of heat to people or objects rather than heating the surrounding air. As a result, Infratech heaters distribute warmth evenly, ensuring your heat won’t simply get blown away in windy conditions. The medium wave quartz elements used in Infratech heaters emit a subtle, pleasant glow that doesn't disrupt the ambiance of your gatherings—unlike competitive short-wave or halogen electric heaters, which produce a harsh glare or overly bright light.

Comfortable Heat for All Your Guests

When it comes to maintaining the aesthetic appeal of your decor and creating a relaxed atmosphere, Infratech infrared quartz elements are undoubtedly the best option. Infratech quartz elements provide comfortable medium wave heat. Competing products with short wave halogen elements deliver more intense heat but emit extremely bright and glaring light. In contrast, Infratech medium wave elements efficiently warm your space while offering a soft, warm glow that is almost unnoticeable.

How Long Will It Last?

How long can you expect an Infratech quartz element to last? These elements are rated for 5,000 hours of continuous use. Depending on how often you use your heater, you may enjoy it for several years before needing a replacement. Always consult the W-Series manual for detailed instructions, and ensure the power to your heater is disconnected before attempting to replace an element.
