What is Quartz Element in Infratech heating?

Infrared Heating and the Quartz Element

Infratech heaters are crafted from recycled materials and produce no greenhouse gas emissions or unpleasant odors. They operate using infrared or radiant energy, which is the most efficient method to provide warmth to spaces such as patios, enclosed areas, or any indoor or outdoor setting where heated air cannot easily be recirculated or retained.

A heated quartz element releases a safe, clean wavelength of light that is absorbed by solid surfaces. This process enables the direct transfer of heat to people or objects rather than warming the surrounding air. As a result, Infratech heaters distribute warmth evenly, ensuring that your heat won’t simply vanish in windy conditions. Infratech’s medium wave quartz element heaters emit a subtle, pleasant glow that won’t disrupt the ambiance of your gatherings—unlike competitive short-wave or halogen electric heaters, which generate a harsh glare or bright-colored light.

Comfortable Heat for All Your Guests

When it comes to the aesthetics of your decor and creating a relaxed atmosphere, Infratech infrared quartz elements are always the superior choice. Infratech quartz elements provide comfortable medium wave heat. Competing products featuring short wave halogen elements deliver more intense heat but emit overly bright and glaring light. Conversely, Infratech’s medium wave elements efficiently heat your space while offering a soft, warm glow that’s almost imperceptible.

How Long Will It Last?

How long should I expect an Infratech quartz element to last? Infratech elements are rated for 5,000 hours of continuous use. In many setups, you might enjoy your heater for years before needing a replacement. Always consult the W-Series manual for specific guidelines, and ensure the power is disconnected from your heater before attempting to replace an element. Are quartz elements better than "short wave" halogen elements?

What Does It Look Like?

If you’re concerned about ambiance, the appearance of your decor, and fostering a calming environment, Infratech infrared quartz elements are the best option. Infratech quartz elements offer comfortable medium wave heat. Competitors with short wave halogen elements create more intense heat while producing extremely bright and harsh-colored light. On the other hand, Infratech’s medium wave elements effectively warm your space while providing a soft, warm glow that’s virtually undetectable.
