What Are Radiant Heaters and How Do They Work?

Have you ever felt the warmth of the sun on a cool day? That’s radiant heat. Unlike other heaters that warm the air, radiant heaters emit infrared waves that travel through the air and directly heat people and objects in their path. This process is incredibly efficient because it doesn't waste energy trying to heat large volumes of air, which is especially useful in drafty or uninsulated spaces.

How Do Radiant Heaters Work?

They use a heated surface (powered by propane, natural gas, or oil) to generate infrared radiation. Floors absorb this energy, tools, and people, creating a comfortable, sun-like warmth without stirring up dust or allergens.

Benefits of Heatstar Radiant Heaters

Radiant heating is a smart choice for many industrial and commercial applications. Here are the main advantages:

Energy Efficiency: By heating objects directly, radiant heaters can use up to 30% less fuel than forced-air systems, leading to significant cost savings.
Quiet Operation: With no noisy fans or blowers, these heaters provide warmth without the disruption, making them perfect for workshops and occupied spaces.
Improved Air Quality: Since they don't circulate air, radiant heaters won't kick up dust, debris, or allergens, creating a healthier work environment.
Instant, Targeted Warmth: Feel the heat almost immediately in a specific zone, perfect for loading docks, workstations, and outdoor areas where heating the entire space is impractical.
Durability: Heatstar heaters are built with heavy-duty materials to withstand the demands of any job site.

Heatstar Radiant Heaters vs. Convection Heaters

Choosing the right type of heater is crucial for efficiency and comfort. Here’s a quick comparison:

Feature	Heatstar Radiant Heaters	Convection Heaters
Heating Method	Directly heats objects and people.	Heats the air, which then circulates.
Best For	Drafty, large, or outdoor spaces.	Enclosed, well-insulated rooms.
Efficiency	Highly efficient, minimal heat loss.	Less efficient in large or uninsulated areas.
Air Quality	Doesn't circulate dust or allergens.	Can circulate dust and other particles.
Noise Level	Silent operation.	Can be noisy if it uses a fan.

For tough environments where you need reliable and efficient spot heating, Heatstar radiant heaters are the superior choice.

Radiant vs Fan Heaters

Radiant heaters operate silently while fan heaters create noise that can interfere with communication on job sites. Radiant systems also maintain effectiveness in windy conditions where fan heaters lose efficiency.

Radiant vs Gas Heating

While gas heating systems require extensive ventilation and ductwork, radiant heaters offer flexible placement options with minimal installation requirements, making them perfect for temporary heating solutions.

How to Size a Heatstar Radiant Heater for Your Space

Choosing the right size heater ensures you get the comfort you need without wasting fuel. Follow these simple steps:

Measure Your Space: Calculate the area (Length × Width) and volume (Length × Width × Height).
Determine Your Needs: Consider your insulation level, how often doors are opened, and the desired temperature.
Estimate Heat Load: A general rule for average insulation is 30-60 BTU per square foot. For poorly insulated or drafty areas, you may need more.
Select a Model: Match your required BTUs with the right Heatstar radiant heater. For a two-car garage (~440 sq. ft.), a 22,000 BTU model like the HS22L is often a great fit. For larger industrial spaces, consider multiple tube heaters or a high-intensity model like the HSP150R.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Why do radiant heaters feel like sunlight?

Radiant heaters emit infrared waves, which are similar to the warmth we feel from the sun. These waves heat surfaces and people directly, creating a natural and comfortable sensation without drying out the air.

2. Do radiant heaters dry out the air?

No. Unlike convection heaters that circulate hot, dry air, radiant heaters don’t rely on air movement. This makes them a better option for people with allergies or respiratory concerns.

3. How fast do radiant heaters warm up a space?

Radiant heaters provide almost instant warmth to people and objects in their direct path. While they are less effective at raising the overall air temperature in large, open areas, they are much faster than conventional heaters for providing immediate comfort.

4. Can I use a radiant heater overnight?

It is not recommended to leave any space heater running unattended overnight. For safety, always choose a certified model with built-in safety features like tip-over protection and operate it in a well-ventilated space away from flammable materials.

5. Are radiant heaters safe to use in garages or workshops?

Yes, radiant heaters are safe when installed and operated according to manufacturer guidelines. Always maintain clearance from combustibles and ensure proper ventilation for propane or oil-fired models.

6. Are radiant heaters more energy efficient than forced-air heaters?

Yes. Radiant heaters typically save 25–30% in energy costs since they heat people and objects directly rather than wasting energy heating air, making them highly efficient for drafty or open spaces.

7. Which is better, an infrared or radiant heater?

Infrared heaters are a type of radiant heater. Both use infrared waves to heat objects and people directly, rather than the air. The main difference is application: portable infrared heaters are great for spot heating in garages, patios, or workshops, while larger industrial radiant heaters, like Heatstar models, are built for job sites, warehouses, and agricultural spaces.
