Advantages of ASTECtherm Infrared Heating Systems
Choosing an ASTECtherm Infrared Heating System over a traditional heating system brings several benefits, both for individuals and the environment. Unlike conventional heating systems commonly found in homes across the UK, ASTECtherm offers a more efficient and energy-saving solution.
Most conventional heating systems rely on heating the air in a room, which then circulates to provide warmth. However, this approach is inefficient and results in significant energy wastage during the heating process. The heated air easily escapes through gaps in the building’s structure, such as doors and windows.
In contrast, ASTECtherm operates by directly heating the mass of the room, including solid objects within it. This radiant heating method effectively warms the air indirectly, reducing heat loss when doors or windows are opened. Consequently, the amount of heat wasted is significantly minimized.
By implementing an ASTECtherm infraredHeating System, individuals can enjoy the following benefits:
- Enhanced Energy Efficiency: ASTECtherm maximises energy efficiency by targeting the objects and surfaces within a room, minimizing heat loss and reducing energy consumption.
- Improved Comfort: The radiant heating approach ensures a more even and consistent distribution of warmth, providing a comfortable and cozy environment.
- Cost Savings: By reducing energy waste and optimizing efficiency, ASTECtherm can help lower heating bills and save money in the long run.
- Environmental Friendliness: The energy-saving features of ASTECtherm contribute to reducing carbon emissions and minimizing the overall ecological impact, promoting a greener and more sustainable living.
In summary, ASTECtherm Infrared Heating System offers an efficient, comfortable, and environmentally friendly alternative to conventional heating systems, providing numerous advantages for both individuals and the planet.
How does infrared heat your building?
Infrared heating works by emitting infrared radiation, which is a form of electromagnetic radiation that travels through the air and heats up objects that it comes into contact with. This is different from traditional heating methods like forced air or convection heating, which rely on convection to warm up the air in a room.
Infrared heaters use a heating element to generate the infrared radiation. When the heating system is turned on, it starts to emit infrared radiation, which is then absorbed by objects in the room, such as furniture, walls, and floors up to 3.5m from the heating surface..
The objects in the room then start to radiate heat back into the air, which warms up the entire room. This process is similar to how the sun heats up the earth. The sun emits infrared radiation, which is absorbed by the earth and then radiated back into the air as heat.
Because infrared heaters directly heat up objects in the room, rather than just the air, they can be more efficient than traditional heating methods. They also don’t create any drafts or stir up dust, which can be beneficial for people with allergies or respiratory issues.
Grand Designs Magazine Innovation Award 2019
ASTECtherm achieved the prestigious Grand Designs Innovation Award for 2019 during the Grand Designs event held at London Excel. Galvin Broughton, the Founder and Managing Director, expressed his deep pride in receiving this accolade. He mentioned that the ASTECtherm technology garnered significant appreciation from the Grand Designs team. The technology’s capacity to help homeowners economise on energy expenses while also extending the lifespan of buildings by diminishing moisture and mildew was particularly highlighted and celebrated.
