Product
Information
Reflective heating technology replicates the sun's healthy
rays,
directly warming the object or person
in
front
of
the heater.
As
the temperature
of
the heated surface
rises,
the warming effect
is
felt
throughout the air and surrounding
areas.
Reflective heaters are great for open
or
large rooms and
help save energy by warming objects and not the enti
re
room.
Reflective heating
is
safe and healthy; it produces no odours, chemicals or fumes and does not stir up
dust. Remarkably efficient, our heater
uses
l
ess
power
to
create the
same
amount
of
heat
as
traditional heaters. Equipped with a safety tip-over switch and overheating shutoff, your new heater
is
safe and reliable.
