Step 2: Determine Mounting Height and Measure Space
Infrared heaters will heat people and objects, so next you will want to analyze your space and determine what you would like to heat. Do you want to heat your entire space throughout or is there a specific area what you would like to heat?
You will want to know the length and width of the space you want to heat. This will help you determine how many units. Each heater will have a specific heat bloom, and this is the amount of heat coverage area that unit will give off.
Example: if you have a space that is a 30ft x 20ft and you want to heat the entire space, you will need multiple units, versus if you want to heat specific seating and dining areas, you will need less.
Now that you have identified the space you want to heat, next measure your mounting height. This will help you determine which wattage to choose. Each brand will have multiple wattages to choose from, typically the higher the mounting height, the higher the wattage you will need.
Step 3: Choose preferred mounting
Step 4: Select the Correct Wattage
As we mentioned earlier, the higher the mounting height, the higher the heater wattage will need to be. Each heater will have a recommended mounting height and we encourage to follow those recommendations when choosing your heater.
