Operation and advantages of using infrared heating
ELNUR GABARRON infrared radiators transform 100% of its power in heat in less than one second, it does not require any type of pre-heating and the result is a very important energy saving. Space volumes are not heated, only direct areas and only when it is required.
The ELNUR GABARRON range of infrared heaters are designed for indoor or outdoor use, provided they are protected from the weather. You will be able to enjoy more time outdoors in winter without getting cold, or have instant warmth indoors.
In contrast to convection heaters, infrared heaters do not heat the air in the surrounding environment, but directly reach people and objects within their heating radius, producing an instant pleasant feeling of warmth, even when outdoors.
In addition to this, the heat intensity can be conveniently controlled with the different power levels of the various available infrared heaters.
Infrared heating offers several advantages that make it an ideal choice for many homes and businesses:
- Instant heat:Forget about waiting for the whole room to heat up. Infrared heaters provide a pleasant, cosy warmth from the moment you switch them on, both indoors and outdoors. In addition, it is also perfect for businesses with terraces where it allows the customer to feel a pleasant warmth instantly, even in low temperatures.
- Energy savings:By directly heating objects and people, infrared is faster and more efficient compared to other traditional heating systems, which require more time to heat the same space.
- ComfortThe feeling of warmth is similar to that of the sun, creating a cosy and relaxing atmosphere. In addition, it does not dry out the air and does not produce any convection in the room, ideal for all those who do not like indoor air circulation.
- VersatilityInfrared heaters are perfect for any space, from a large living room or bathroom to a patio or the terrace of a restaurant.
- Silent operation:these units are totally silent and offer an immediate response on start-up, providing instant heat without any need for preheating.
- Easy installation and maintenance:Most models are easy to install and require no special maintenance.
- Safe and clean infrared heating: Infrared heaters do not emit gases of any kind during operation, making them completely safe for the whole family and environmentally friendly.
Infrared types according to their heat emission
The different infrared models can be classified into three types of infrared heating emitters: shortwave, medium wave and longwave.
All models produce heat, but depending on the height, square metres being heated, speed and light output, we can determine which infrared model is most suitable in each case.
Shortwave infrared.
The shorter the infrared wavelength, the quicker it provides heat and the greater the distance that the heat can reach. The shortwave infrared is distinguished by its bright light and is felt as a strong heat. In outdoor spaces, their light helps with lighting and they can provide an instant and pleasant warmth even in cold temperatures. They are widely used in terraces, patios, bar exteriors, swimming pool shower areas, gyms, bathrooms and toilets.
Medium wave infrared.
These medium wave infrared models are designed with carbon lamps, so the glare light emission will be much lower than with shortwave halogen infrared. They provide quick and pleasant heat and their use is also recommended for interiors, as well as patios and garages or outdoor terraces, gazebos and porches. It is always recommended to set them up them protected from the weather.
Longwave infrared.
The longwave offers a very comfortable heat for people and is characterised by the fact that it does not emit any light. Its heat distribution is more even. This type of infrared is also highly recommended for indoor areas in homes and businesses such as offices, shops, garages, gyms, swimming pools, patios and porches.
The entire infrared range is very easy to install and requires no maintenance. Depending on the model, they can be wall-mounted, free-standing with an optional accessory (tripod) or ceiling-mounted. We also have a portable model with a handle (no tripod required) for quick and easy transport, wherever you want to use it.
Infrared heaters are totally silent and are specially designed to operate in large areas where fast, localised heat is required. This can be areas between 8 and 22m2 , depending on the model installed.

Frequently asked questions about infrared heaters
What types of infrared heaters are there?
- Shortwave infrared: Ideal for outdoor spaces, they provide intense and fast heat.
- Medium wave infrared: Versatile for indoor and covered outdoor use, they provide pleasant warmth.
- Long-wave infrared: Perfect for indoor use, they offer a soft and uniform heat without light emission.
Where can I install an infrared heater?
These devices are very versatile and can be installed in a wide variety of locations:
- Indoor areas: Bathrooms, toilets, lounges, offices, gym changing rooms, etc.
- Outdoor areas: Terraces of bars and restaurants, patios, porches of houses, etc.
Are infrared heaters safe?
Yes, infrared heaters are safe when used correctly. In addition, these units include safety systems such as automatic shutdown in case of overheating or tipping over for the floor models. However, it is important to always follow the instructions provided by us as the manufacturer.
How much does an infrared heater consume?
The consumption of an infrared heater depends on its power and the time of use. For example, an infrared bathroom heater with a power of 1000W will consume 1kW/hour.
Can I use an infrared heater in the bathroom?
Yes, there are specific models designed for bathrooms, which comply with safety regulations.
Does infrared heating produce radiation?
The infrared radiation emitted by these heaters is similar to the heat of the sun, but without UV rays, so it is not harmful to health.
Can infrared heating be combined with other heating systems?
Yes, infrared heating can be combined with other heating systems. If, for example, we need a quick and targeted heat for a shower, we can get the necessary heat quickly with an infrared bathroom heater.
Do they work well in cold or winter climates?
Yes, they work perfectly in cold climates because they directly heat people and objects without relying on the surrounding air, which can cool down quickly in winter.
Are they compatible with solar panels or other renewable sources?
Yes, infrared heaters run on electricity and can be powered by solar energy.
Do they affect the humidity level of the environment?
No, infrared heaters do not dry out the air, nor do they affect the humidity of the room because they do not heat the air directly.
How long does it take to heat a room with an infrared heater?
The heat is virtually instantaneous; you will feel the effect within seconds of turning it on. However, the time to fully heat a room will depend on the size of the space and the power of the heater.
