Important factors to remember with outdoor IR heating:

Life style heating Outdoor Infrared heaters Ireland and the UK People sitting outside under an energy efficient heater.

  • Keep the space between you and the ALF25 infrared heater clear.
  • For best IR heating results use the ALF25 in a semi enclosed space
  • This way you reduce wind chill
  • Use a motion sensor & timer

 

By keeping the space between you and the ALF25 infrared heater clear your guests feel the most heat. IR heating does not warm the surrounding air. This means that if there is something blocking the radiant heat, you will not feel the heat.

Remember IR heating heats objects not the air.

Motion sensors are a great way to get the most from your electric heater. When there is motion the outdoor heater turns on. Our patented elements are not affected by the number of times you turn the element on and off. Our elements last a minimum of 7000+ hours. Making IR heating in Ireland and the UK easy to use and affordable.

Using a timer, the ALF25 turns off when there is no movement in the area. We do recommend using your infrared heater in a semi enclosed space. Since the ALF25 heats you directly, there are no CO2 emissions. You are breathing fresh air in the comfort of your outdoor patio.

This makes the ALF25 infrared heater an ideal lifestyle heater. All you need to do is hang it on the wall. Plug it in and you are done.

ALF25 Q & A

Can I plug my ALF25 heater into my 3 prong socket in Ireland? 

Yes. The ALF25 only draws 25kW. This  powerful single element heater is great for those with small patios in your garden; or, businesses that are just getting started and want to keep your guests warm. 

25kW uses roughly the same amount of energy as your household kettle.

How do I get the most out of my ALF25 outdoor heater?

You can use this IR heater both indoors and outdoors. For those of you with a small garden patio this heater will meet your needs. 

We recommend that you mount the ALF25 on a wall or hang from the ceiling or recess into the ceiling and then plug in your IR heater.

Keep the space between your infrared heater and you clear. 

Does theALF25 infrared heater heater heat the surrounding air?

Infrared heating does not heat the surrounding air. Rather your IR heater heats you directly. So, you will find that you will get the best results by using the ALF25 in an enclosed space. 

An enclosed space means you are taking measures to prevent wind chill from occurring. 

What is wind chill?

Wind chill is when wind blows that heat away from your skin. You suddenly feel chilled when there is a slight breeze.

Infrared heats you and objects directly. When you stand in front of your IR outdoor heater, your body  feels the heat immediately. If you stand to the side of the heater, you will not feel the heat. 

How does an infrared heater save me money?

We have broken down the costs of our electric heaters in a different section.

However, your question still warrants being answered. 

First, you get direct constant heat. You are not losing any heat if there is a slight breeze. You feel 100% of the heat produced. 

Second, our heaters can be connected to a motion sensor. You may ask, “can’t all heaters be connected to a motion sensor?”

 Short answer is, “yes, all heaters can be connected to a motion sensor.”

What makes our heaters different is that our heaters are true motion sensors. We use quality chromium alloy elements. The chromium alloy elements are not really subject to the sudden energy surge that tungsten elements are subject to, as a result you are getting an element that lasts 7000+ hrs.

In simple English, you can turn your heater on and off as often as you wish. The element lasts a long time. You save money.

You save money by setting a timer to turn off the element. You save money because your heater will last at least 3 years. You are only heating a designated area and are not losing money by heating an unnecessary space. 

Finally, our heaters produce 94% heat and 6% light. Our pure aluminium reflector reflects 100% of the heat back out onto you and your family and guests.

With the ALF25, you don’t need an electrician to help you set up your electric patio heater in Ireland and the UK.

Is infrared heating safe?

The short answer is yes.

Infrared heating is basically the same heat that you get from the sun without the UV rays. 

Make sure to read about the health benefits of infrared heating.

The heater will be mounted high enough on the wall; so, no children or pets will be able to touch the element. 

Is infrared heat a dry heat?

Short answer: yes. However, IR heat does not dry out your skin. You may remember that IR heating heats you directly. The heat is pleasant and relaxing. 

Of course, you still need to drink water and keep yourself hydrated. 

How long does it take for the ALF25 electric heater to produce heat?

We like to say less than a minute. You may start to notice heat within about 30 seconds or so. 

How often do I need to clean the ALF25 electric heater?

We recommend cleaning the reflector when it starts to get dirty. The mirrored polished alumimium reflector reflects the heat onto you.

 The alumimium reflector just needs an occasional wipe down. The surface is super easy to keep clean.

 **Turn off the outdoor heater. Remove the protective shield and wipe down the reflector with a clean cloth. 

Do I need an electrician to install the ALF25?

No. However, you will need to mount your outdoor patio heater ALF25 onto a wall or recess into the ceiling. Essentially, you will need some tools and someone to possibly assist you for your own safety.

You can just plug in the ALF25 IR heater in Ireland and the UK. 

benefits of infrared heating

What are the benefits of infrared heating?

There are a number of health benefits to having an infrared heater.

  1. Infrared heating heats you directly. Your skin and body will absorb the infrared heat directly.
    When you turn on your IR heater, you just have to wait a moment or so for your outdoor electric heater to warm up.
    Radiant heat is similar to that of the sun’s rays. You feel the heat when you are sitting or standing directly in front of your electric IR heater. Your muscles and nerves will begin to relax.
  2. IR heaters do not cause air movement. So, no dust or allergens are being moved around by warm air rising and cold air coming down. As mentioned, IR heat heats you and your guests directly.
    Since infrared heaters do not move air, airborne allergens and dust stays on the ground or on objects. This essentially means that you can breathe easier.
    We recommend that you enclose your sitting space to get the most out of your outdoor IR heater and to prevent wind draught/ wind chill from an outside breeze.
  3. Radiant heat aids with relaxation. Most people love to sit in the sun and soak up the sun’s rays. You get your vitamin D and feel relaxed. Infrared heating aids with relaxing your muscles and tissues.
    NASA research has shown that (far) infrared heat promotes healthy hearts in astronauts. The Mayo Clinic and journal has also reported that far infrared heating improved blood vessel functionality. Patients that suffered from diabetes, high cholesterol, and who had smoked benefited from far infrared heating.
  4. Infrared heat helps your body’s natural immune system by aiding in the production of nitric oxide. Nitric oxide improves your blood vessels health and well being by preventing blood from clotting in the vessels.
    Infrared heating helps fight cancer. Cancer does not like heat. According to studies done in Germany, Holland, and Austria they use a method called, “Hyperthermia” or thermal therapy. The idea behind the treatment is to increase the patient’s body core temperature. By increasing the body’s core temperature, the cancer cells are more susceptible to traditional radiation and chemotherapies.
    In short, IR heating aids in reducing stress and regulating blood pressure.
    You will still need to see your doctor and practitioner if you are seeing one.
  5. You are probably seeing a pattern, IR heating or radiant heat helps you relax and boost your immune system. Naturally, when you feel relaxed and calm, you can take care of your muscular injuries.
    The infrared heater can aid in boosting your immune system. Exposing yourself to infrared heat improves blood circulation. This in turn assists with how quickly your body heals and deals with muscle pain.
    Infrared heat is a natural way to assist in taking care of those muscle injuries and torn tissues. You will still need to take physio and treatment with your practitioner; however, while you are at home, you can treat yourself to IR heat.
  6. Radiant heating aids with detoxifying your body. Long wave IR heaters found in infrared saunas assist in detoxification. Of course, a healthy diet, drinking plenty of water, and making changes in your lifestyle will make the process easier.
    What we are suggesting is that IR heating will help you relax. After a long day, sitting outside under one of our radiant heaters could help ease the stress and clear your mind.
    The direct heat will blanket you with warmth . Your worries will melt away. Clearing up your mind to think clearly.
    How do you put a price on feeling relaxed and calm?
  7. You can sit peacefully outside and listen to the birds. Our outdoor infrared heaters in Ireland and the UK run silently. You just turn the IR outdoor heater on and enjoy the heat.

  1. Can I get a tan from my infrared heater?

 

The simple answer is no.

Let us explain the difference between a tanning bed and Alfresco infrared medium wavelength heaters. Tanning beds commonly use UVB light to create artificial UV light that you would normally get from the sun. This UVB light, that you get from tanning beds, merely activates certain pigments on the skin, which gives you that artificial tan.

This artificial UV tanning could result in the aging of your skin, wrinkles, and potentially other health issues. 

 

Whereas long wave infrared heaters, used in infrared saunas, increase your body temperature without affecting your skin. There are additional health benefits to infrared heaters as well: aids in relaxation, weight loss, and expelling toxins from your body.

Important thing to note, keep yourself properly hydrated.
