Similar to sunshine, infrared heat is a radiant heat that warms a person or an object directly rather than heating the air in between. Infrared heat can be felt instantly as soon as you turn it on – no waiting for it to warm up. In addition, an outdoor infrared heater saves energy by using less power to create the same amount of heat as traditional gas heaters, and there is no smoke or fumes. Extend the use of your outdoor living space with a Hanover halogen infrared stand heater. Assembly required – all hardware and instructions included.
