So why would you choose a convection heater over an IR panel heater, or vice versa?

Shared benefits

Both Convection and IR Panel Heaters can help you save energy and money. By heating a specific room or area, you can heat only locally instead of heating the whole house.

Key differences

Which heater is a good match for you is dependent on what you want. You could also choose both solutions for different locations in your house.

Convection Heater

Ideal for evenly warming an entire room and maintaining a consistent temperature..
Provides warm air that surrounds you from all directions.

IR Panel Heater

You need quick, direct heat in a specific area, such as when sitting at a desk or relaxing in a particular spot in a room.
Delivers immediate warmth without the need to heat the entire space.
