Energy Efficient

Energy efficient heaters save 60% energy which, in turn, enables to save money during cold season. Long-wave infrared heaters are one of the cheapest space heating solutions. Radiant heaters enable to save up to 60% of money compared to other heating devices. The principle of long-wave heaters operation is not to heat up the air, but to heat up the floor and items that results in even and efficient temperature distribution.

Below is the table which compares the operation of the following heaters: infrared heaters, oil filled electric heater, LPG gas, natural gas, heating oil including annual cost for using such heaters.

Saving energy by using infrared heaters for heating of production facilities, warehouses or units is mainly achieved by the possibility of establishing local heating areas, therefore the energy cost will be only for heating living space. When using Ekostar infrared heaters as the primary heating source for hangars, production units or warehouses, the savings are achieved by high efficiency of infrared heaters and their method of operation. Ekostar infrared heaters can be used at production facilities where there is no central heating and save considerable amount of money compared to conventional or central heating.

Energy efficient heaters enable to save money because can be the only source of heating in the premises and no other type of heating will be required taking into account that boilers, pipes and radiators and their installation are time consuming and expensive types of equipment and works.
