The Algarve Quartz heater works like the sun, radiating its heat instantly to the person or objects within its beam. It is the most effective way to warm people as there is no warm up period. Also, as the air in between remains unheated, no heat is lost to drafts, open doors or high roof spaces. This form of heating is ideal in part-occupied buildings as the heating can be zoned and controlled. Patios, Shops, garages and over doors in Waiting or Smoking areas!
This heater can be installed quick and easily. The quartz heaters are easy to operate and very economical. The quartz heaters are completely safe with silent and odorless operation which creates no by-products of combustion.
Algarve Quartz heaters heat approximately a 10'x10' area when mounted eight feet off the ground. Suitable for indoor and outdoor use.
