Understanding Infrared Heat
Infrared Space Heaters
Infrared space heaters use radiant heat to warm people and objects directly, creating a different heating experience than systems that rely mainly on warming and circulating air.
EdenPURE® has used infrared heating technology across generations of space heaters designed for supplemental home comfort.

A Different Way to Feel Warm
The Story of Infrared Heat
Infrared heat is a form of radiant energy. Instead of relying only on heated air moving through a room, infrared energy travels outward and is absorbed by people and objects, where it is converted into heat.
That is why radiant warmth can feel different from conventional forced-air heating. You are not waiting only for the surrounding air to warm first.
Infrared heating has been used in residential, commercial and industrial applications for decades because it provides a direct way to transfer heat where it is needed.
How It Works
How Infrared Heat Warms a Space
Infrared heating transfers radiant energy outward from the heater. That energy is absorbed by people and objects in its path and converted into heat, creating warmth without relying only on moving heated air.
1. Infrared Energy Is Produced
The heater converts electrical energy into infrared radiant heat.
2. Radiant Heat Travels Outward
Infrared energy moves through the space and reaches nearby people, furniture and other surfaces.
3. People and Objects Absorb the Heat
That radiant energy is absorbed and converted into warmth, helping create a comfortable heating experience.
Different Ways to Deliver Heat
Infrared Heat vs. Conventional Space Heating
Many conventional space heaters rely primarily on convection — warming the surrounding air and circulating that warmer air through the room.
Infrared heaters work differently. They produce radiant energy that can be absorbed directly by people and objects in the heater’s path.
Neither method is automatically “better” in every situation. The difference is in how the heat is delivered and how that warmth feels in the space.
- Infrared heating: transfers radiant energy directly to people and objects
- Convection heating: primarily warms and circulates the surrounding air
- Infrared warmth: can be felt without waiting only for the entire room’s air temperature to rise
- Many EdenPURE heaters: combine infrared heating with air circulation to distribute warmth through the room
Why EdenPURE Uses Infrared
Infrared Heat Has Been Part of EdenPURE® for Generations
EdenPURE® has used infrared heating technology across generations of space heaters because it provides a direct way to deliver supplemental warmth. Different EdenPURE models combine infrared heat with different cabinet designs, airflow systems and comfort controls.
Direct Radiant Warmth
Infrared energy transfers heat directly to people and objects in its path instead of relying only on warming the surrounding air first.
Combined With Air Circulation
Many EdenPURE heaters pair infrared heating with fan-assisted air movement to help distribute warmth through the room.
Different Designs for Different Needs
From compact freestanding heaters to traditional cabinet-style models, EdenPURE offers multiple infrared heater designs so you can choose the style and controls that fit how you want to heat your space.

Infrared Heater Questions
Infrared Space Heater FAQs
Learn how infrared space heaters work, how they differ from conventional heaters, and what to consider when choosing an EdenPURE® infrared heater.
An infrared space heater produces radiant energy that transfers heat directly to people and objects in its path. This differs from heaters that rely mainly on warming and circulating the surrounding air.
An infrared heater converts electrical energy into radiant heat. That energy travels outward, is absorbed by people and objects, and is converted into warmth.
Infrared heaters primarily transfer radiant heat to people and objects, but many models also warm and circulate air as part of their overall heating design. Several EdenPURE® heaters combine infrared heat with fan-assisted air circulation.
Infrared heaters are still electric heaters, so energy use depends on wattage, settings and run time. Their advantage is the way they deliver radiant heat directly, which can be useful for targeted supplemental heating.
Infrared heaters do not remove moisture from the air. However, any heating system that raises indoor temperature can make relative humidity feel lower, especially during cold, dry weather.
The best choice depends on where you want to use the heater, how much air circulation you prefer, available floor or tabletop space, and the comfort controls that matter most to you. EdenPURE® offers infrared heater designs ranging from personal heaters to full-size room models.
