Infrared Radiant Heaters

Wattco Infrared radiant heaters are economic, efficient, and clean. Infrared radiant heaters are designed for comfort heating applications that require radiant heat in indoor, outdoor, and exposed areas through direct infrared heat transfer. Used in large areas such as arenas, sawmills, ice rings, gymnasiums auditoriums, racetracks, parking garages, aircraft hangars and large areas that require radiant heating, infrared heaters use tubular heaters that reach high temperatures and radiate sufficient heat from overhead. Infrared heaters are also used in the food industry to maintain food at target temperatures for periods of time. Infrared heaters come in many different lengths and sizes and are an excellent choice for outdoor applcations. Waterproof housing is available to help protect terminals from humidity and moisture penetration and, are used in conjunction with digital or mechanical controls. Wattco infrared heaters use high grade stainless steel throughout along with protective wiring to help maintain lifelong usage.

Installation of infrared heaters are simple and in the event that tubular elements need to be replaced, they are available at economically feasable prices.
