20 best infrared heaters

Review of the best according to the editorial board. About selection criteria. This material is subjective and does not constitute advertising and does not serve as a purchase guide. Before buying, you need to consult with a specialist.

Infrared heaters are popular with users because they heat the person directly, not the air. Working without 'intermediaries' (oil, water, air) significantly increases the heating rate. Still, this type of heating devices does not start convection, and therefore, dust does not fly around the room, there is no extraneous noise from the fan. Most often, private houses and summer cottages have to be heated with such equipment, since additional cold comes from the ground. When traveling to a summer cottage for the weekend, it is long and unprofitable to start up a boiler with a water heating system (collect water, ignite the boiler, wait for the coolant to warm up). Therefore, our experts and analysts of the rankquality service have chosen the TOP-20 of the best infrared heaters that are suitable for such places of operation.

How to choose an infrared heater

Before the list of the best models, we will consider how to choose an infrared heater for a summer residence and at home, so that the equipment does a good job in such conditions. Here are the main parameters to watch out for:

1. Dimensions. The size of an infrared heater can be from 30x30x6 cm to 200x30x12 cm, so before buying you need to think about whether it will fit in a room in a country house or in a private house.
2. Power and area of ​​operation. An infrared heater can consume from 0.4 to 3 kW of electricity per hour, which affects the heating rate and the ability to heat a certain area. The average figure for calculations is 0.1 kW per 1 m².
3. Installation site. Heaters can be floor-standing, wall-mounted, ceiling-mounted or universal. This affects the convenience of setting – how easy it will be to reach the toggle switch. It also affects the space occupied (for example, when an infrared device is in the middle of a room, it can be knocked down by children or pets while playing).
4. Heating element type. The heating element determines the speed of heat propagation, wavelength and outside temperature. The safest are ceramic and carbon film models, but the heat from them takes longer to reach the user. Among the productive heaters, quartz and halogen are in the lead, but you can get burned about them if you accidentally touch the heating element.
5. Protection of the case from moisture and dust. If the device is sealed, then it can be used in the country, not only indoors, but also outside in bad weather. IR heaters with IP20 protection are suitable exclusively for dry weather or indoor use.
6. Additional functions. Additional features in infrared fireplaces include: overheating protection, automatic shutdown in case of a fall, thermal control, remote control and the ability to rotate the body on an axis. This increases the comfort and safety of using the appliance in the home.

The maximum placement height without loss of efficiency is 2.2 m.

Our experts liked the infrared heater with the IP65 casing protection, which makes it possible to use it in the yard of a private house (gazebo, terrace or open lawn) even when it rains. In early autumn, short-term warm rain will not spoil the picnic, but with the help of the fireplace it will be possible to keep warm. Judging by the reviews, the moisture resistance of the heater has been tested by users many times and is not satisfactory.

But the manufacturer allows the use of an infrared device vertically. Due to its compact dimensions 60x21x21 cm, the device does not take up much space. The power of the infrared emitter is 800 W, but due to its advantageous location on the floor of the fireplace, it will be enough for a bedroom in the country with an area of ​​up to 15 m².

The Korean manufacturer Hyundai offered a novelty in 2019 – an infrared quartz heater for a summer cottage or home with a power of 1800 W, which is suitable for an area of ​​18 m². The model has dimensions of 60x19x9 cm and is designed for wall mounting. On the side there is a rotary thermostat for setting a comfortable temperature in the house. Optionally, it can be mounted on a telescopic tripod, which is purchased separately. The infrared heater is allowed to be used outdoors only in dry weather, since the housing is not protected against water.

In the reviews, the product is praised for the clear operation of the overheating protection. If you leave the infrared heat emitter on at full power and forget about it, the device will turn itself off when it gets too hot. Such actuation occurs precisely due to a mechanical assembly that opens the circuit when a certain temperature threshold rises (the connecting plate bends from heat and physically breaks the contact). With this device you can not be afraid of a fire.

Advantages

• temperature control with a switch on the side wall;
• power cord included;
• metal case;
• a mounting kit is provided.

The Latvian brand RESANTA produces a series of quartz heaters with infrared radiation IKO. The model selected by experts has a power of 2000 W and is suitable for a summer cottage with a room of 20 m². The device is mounted on the ceiling, so it does not take up space in the house, does not interfere with the passage and is less noticeable to others. The heater always operates at full capacity. To control the temperature remotely, you will need to purchase a thermostat separately. The device is compatible with various regulators from other brands. In the reviews, the owners like that the back wall of the heater is warm, not hot, and this allows you to hang it not only on concrete ceilings, but also on wooden ones, without fear of fire.

According to experts, the IR heater is the best in terms of body thinness. Unlike other models with a cross-section of 9-12 cm, this device has an indicator of only 4.3 cm. Due to the thin body, it is less noticeable on the ceiling and resembles a lamp shade from a fluorescent lamp.

• inconspicuous design;
• does not dry the air;

Rating: 4.7

And here is a compact representative of infrared quartz heaters from the Korean brand Hyundai. The device measures 36x25x7 cm and is designed to be installed on the floor or table. For this, it has its own stand. To prevent the fireplace from sliding over the surface, there are protrusions-stops below. Two quartz heating elements, located one above the other, are responsible for the radiation of heat. The toggle switch under them allows you to use two heating elements at once or only one of them. Accordingly, the power consumption is 400 or 800 W. Even at maximum mode, the power consumption is insignificant, which is liked by the owners of the fireplace in the reviews. But such a device is suitable only for a small room in a country house with an area of ​​10 m².

The experts considered the quartz heater to be the best at a price that is 6-10 times lower than that of other participants in the category.

On the surface, the temperature for most does not exceed 70 degrees, so it is impossible to burn yourself with such a heater.

Ballu BIH-S2-0.6

Rating: 4.9

This heater is a square ceramic panel that generates infrared radiation. The stove has dimensions of 59x59x3.5 cm and is produced in white. The heating element installed inside consumes 600 W per hour. One device is enough for an area of ​​6 m². There is no thermostat here, but it can be connected via an additional wire and brought out to a convenient place. The device weighs 3.4 kg, so you can actually install it yourself. Since the heating element is poured into a ceramic plate, the front panel is not afraid of water and the heater can be placed in the bathroom in the country.

Experts marked the product as the best due to its special dimensions and ceiling installation, which is allowed at a height of 2.4 m. Please note that the infrared ceramic plate can be installed in the Armstrong suspended ceiling cell. Due to its white color, it looks like a standard drywall panel. This makes the heater inconspicuous in the home. For rooms with a larger area, several devices can be installed at once in the ceiling so that the heat is evenly distributed throughout the room.

Advantages

• economical power consumption;
• you can install it yourself;
• inconspicuous location;
• work from a height of 2.4 m is allowed.

disadvantages

• the thermostat is purchased separately;
• one panel is suitable for a small area of ​​6 m².

TEPLOCeramic TC-395

Rating: 4.8

The device is made in the form of a ceramic plate with dimensions of 59×59 cm, but weighs 12 kg, so it is not recommended to install it on the ceiling. The manufacturer offers a wall mounting option, where a 2 cm gap must be provided from a vertical surface for a block with a microcircuit. The heater has a power of 395 W. If it is used in a single copy, then it is suitable for a bathroom or toilet in the country. Users in the reviews like that for a day of continuous operation, the heater consumes less than 10 kW. Compared to it, a quartz apparatus with a power of 3000 W consumes this amount of electricity in 3 hours.

We found the ceramic infrared heater to be the best because of the wide range of colors available. In total, the model is available in 11 colors. There are both plain (gray, beige, wenge) and decorative (marbled, with imitation of wood species, with stains). This helps to choose the design of the device for the interior (furniture in the room, floor or wall tiles).

Advantages

• the case is protected from moisture;
• very economical;
• built-in overheating protection;
• wide range of colors.

disadvantages

• weighs 12 kg;

Rating: 4.7

The heater from the domestic brand 'Nikaten' is produced with dimensions of 60x30x4 cm and is intended for wall mounting. The recommended heating area is 5 m². The infrared ceramic panel belongs to the energy saving class. There are two color options: beige and brown. The stove can be used in a toilet in the country, as well as in a shower or a small kitchen. The case is completely waterproof. In addition to infrared rays, the device triggers a small convection, so the heat is evenly distributed throughout the room, regardless of where the person is. There is no thermostat in the kit, so you will have to buy it to maintain the set temperature. The owners in the reviews like that after turning it off, heat continues to emanate from the ceramic plate for 30-40 minutes.

We considered the product the best due to the length of the warranty. The Russian manufacturer gives a term of 5 years. For competitors, this figure is 1-2 years. The model itself is designed to operate for 25 years.

Advantages

• waterproof case;
• prolonged cooling;
• The efficiency is 90%;
• easy installation.

disadvantages

• the surface heats up to 85 degrees – if you touch it with your hand, it will be very hot;
• light convection is triggered, which causes more dust on the furniture.

Here are the best products with micathermic radiators for private homes and summer cottages, selected by experts.

Ballu BIH-CM-2.0

Rating: 4.9

The first in the category is the directional heater from Ballu. This is a micathermic heater with dimensions of 163x25x4 cm, with a power of 2000 W. It is suitable for a spacious bedroom in a house with an area of ​​20 m². The side walls are made of stainless steel. The manufacturer used a modernized case in it, which visually seems smaller than it actually is. To safely hang the heater on wooden ceilings, two layers of insulator are laid behind the heating element. According to reviews, it can be seen that the infrared ceiling panel does not smell of dust, even if it has not been turned on for a long time.

According to experts, the heater is the best, since the micathermic heating element has an increased service life (compared to competitors' products). This is achieved through the use of an aluminum alloy made with longitudinal corrugations. Outside, the element is additionally coated with anodizing with a thickness of 25 microns.

Advantages

Unlike other products in this category, there is a mode switch so that the device can operate at half or full power. The owners in the reviews note that it is comfortable in the room with him, since he heats the person and furniture (sofa, bed, chairs), but does not heat the air. It is easy for users to breathe.

This model is recognized by experts as the best installation height. It is designed for a level of 2.7 m. At the same time, it provides the most efficient operation without loss of heat for users.

This is a convenient infrared heating model for a spacious house or summer cottage, where users are constantly changing their location (sleeping in one room, watching TV in another, eating in a third, etc.). The fireplace can be transported and managed with one device, instead of buying several stationary ones. Another feature of the product is an electronic thermostat.

Heliosa Hi Design 11BX5 / 11FMX5

Rating: 4.9

In the first place in the category of infrared halogen heaters is a model of the Italian brand with dimensions of 45x13x9 cm and a power of 1500 W. Despite its large dimensions, the lamp heater weighs only 1 kg. Inside there are two halogen heating elements capable of heating an area of ​​up to 15 m². You can buy the product in black or white. Reviews show that the owners like the universal mount in the kit, which allows you to attach the fireplace to the wall in the country, hang it on a beam in a gazebo, or fix it on a vertical stand in the house. Since the heater has a degree of protection IP65, it is allowed to use it in the yard of the cottage even in bad weather.

Our experts considered the product to be the best in terms of packaging. It is already sold with a power cord and plug, but unlike other models, it has a switch on the wire. This allows heating to be started at the touch of a button located at a convenient level, instead of having to plug into a power outlet or reach for the housing. This is especially practical when placing the fireplace at a height.

Advantages

• can be attached to a vertical post or horizontal beam;
• available in black and white;
• protected from water.

Dimensions 50x17x7 cm can be easily placed on the ceiling, without the need to rearrange the lighting shades. The lamp heater weighs 2 kg. It always works in one mode at full capacity and without a thermostat. The manufacturer used a new solution in the construction – convex glass.

Almac IK7A

Rating: 4.7

Rounding out the category is a 2000 W halogen heater with an aluminum casing. Due to this implementation, the weight of the device is only 800 g. The manufacturer allows installation heights up to 2.2 m on the ceiling. Despite the compact dimensions of 39x15x8.5 cm, there are already three lamps inside the device. In the reviews, buyers share that at first they did not believe how such a 'baby' could heat 20 m². But in practice, the device works perfectly and the declared power easily copes with heating a given space.

We paid attention to the product due to the unique fastening. Unlike most competitors, here you can not only adjust the tilt angle of the heater, but move it to the side (the mount can move along the groove on the back wall). With a stationary ceiling mount, this is important if in the country you have to slightly rearrange the bed, sofa or table, not only along the line of the flow of IR rays, but also to the left or right of it. Then you do not need to remove the heater and install it in a new place.
