The most common inquiries of our clients regarding the infrared energy, its effects on the human body, the involved costs, the ideal setup selection and installation concerns are listed here together with comprehensive answers and explanations.
Are infrared rays dangerous in any way?
Infrared waves have surrounded the human race for thousands of years as they are emitted from the sun and fires or stoves. Unlike UV, Gamma or X-rays, infrared waves utterly harmless.
What is the main difference between infrared heaters and conventional convection heating?
When we talk about convection heating we mostly think of common central-heating radiators, fan and space heaters, stoves or storage heaters – all of which primarily heat up the air. On the other hand, infrared heating heats directly solid objects – the walls, floor, ceiling, furniture and people – and only through these subsequently warms up the air. And it is thanks to this fundamental difference that infrared heating can be so drastically more efficient than convection heating.
It might be cheap to purchase but how much is it going to cost when I actually operate this type of heating?
Infrared heating warms up the objects in the room directly; these can store the heat much longer than air, and the energy loss through ventilation is therefore significantly lesser. But there are more benefits: infraheating helps to dry out damp walls – thus increasing their heat-transmission coefficient, which means that less heat is lost through these walls. It is thanks to these features that infrared heating does not in general consume as much energy as other forms of heating. (Obviously, it is not possible to quote an exact figure at this point, since each case is specific and the values vary as every building, every space and every group of inhabitants is different.)

The technology applied in the making of PION heaters is relatively new and often rather unfamiliar, in fact, even many industry experts are often little or ill-informed in its regard. This is why so many mistake infrared heaters for other types of convection electric heating, which have much higher power consumption; and this is also why so many can be unaware of their incredible cost-efficiency.
How much does its installation cost?
You don’t need a chimney or piping that would distribute heat into all rooms. You don’t need to dig into walls or hire trained professionals as it is common with standard heating installations. Installing infrared heating is more than simple and far, far swifter. It can be as easy as anchoring the suspension hooks and plugging PION in, however, there is also the fixed-connection solution, which is slightly more complex, allowing you to hook up the heating to the electric network permanently and operate it remotely.
And what about health? What does it do to our body?
A major advantage of infrared heating is that air is not used as the medium for transporting the heat. There is less air movement which reduces the amount of dust lifted into the air. The result of this is you have far less dust and allergens in the air we breathe. The air is cooler, easier to breathe.
When you think about the stratification of temperatures in a room, commonly you recall how the heat accumulates overhead and how much colder it feels at the ground level – because that is what happens witch convection heating. However, in comparison, when you enter a space heated by PION units, you realize that warmth does not uselessly amass right below the ceiling but stays predominantly exactly where you need it, i.e. downwards, at the level where you spend your time sitting or lying. Such a room provides its inhabitants with in ideal temperature comfort throughout who can forget that annoying cold-feet sensation they were used to in the past.
What is meant by "indoor climate comfort"?
Indoor climate comfort (or warm wellness) is the sensation of perceived ambient temperature which one experiences when dwelling in a given environment. Since people generate heat as they carry out their activities, there must be a mechanism in place to ensure that excessive heat gets released out, keeping the bodily temperature from surging. But, at the same time, this heat discharge must be constantly moderated, preventing body temperature from dropping too low. In other words, it should not feel either unpleasantly cold or disagreeably hot in the room – the inhabitants should enjoy a comfortably warm ambiance.
How much electricity does PION consume?
Each unit can consume as much electricity as its power-input factory setting allows. However, when using PION heaters you often achieve a comfortably warm ambiance easier than with comparable gas or electric boilers. Plus, you should bear in mind that these conventional heaters ordinarily operate on considerably higher power levels. If you want to get a realistic idea of what the consumption would be if you used PION heating units in your specific space, then try out our calculator or contact us directly requesting a quote.
Where can a PION unit be installed?
In essence, any room is ok. PION can be successfully used in flats, cottages, offices, workshops, stores, restaurants etc. All you need is a ceiling and an electric plug. There is only one obligatory condition to be observed: ensure the prescribed distances between the unit and other structures situated in its vicinity (the specific space intervals can be found under the "installation" section).
How do I know which model to choose?
First you must know the measurements of the room that needs to be heated. The number of cubic meters will determine what model types of PION would be most suitable. If you wish to get a more accurate idea then don’t hesitate to use our calculator.
