One of the most efficient and effective methods of heating is the process by which the sun heats the earth. The sun produces high intensity infrared rays which heat objects on the planet as they come in contact with them. While breezes and wind may help carry the warmth, that typically comes from the heat being emitted by the objects, not the infrared rays being produced by the sun. In order to mimic this heating method, manufacturers refined the infrared technology in order to create radiant heaters. Ranging from small, portable units, to large permanent fixtures, infrared radiant heaters provide all the benefits of the sun on a warm day, even in the middle of winter.
