Also known as 3D heat, these are low-power electric heaters that emit infrared rays to heat objects. While the term “green”; suggests these heaters are environmentally friendly, it’s essential to understand the advantages and disadvantages of using this type of heating system.
Advantages of Green Heat:
1. Lower Electricity Consumption: Green heaters use five times less power than portable electric heaters.
2. Effective in Mild Temperatures: They can effectively heat spaces where the temperature is not extremely low.
3. Ideal for Small Spaces: They are a good option for bathrooms or small rooms.
4. Customizable Design: You can order them in various sizes to fit your
space requirements.
Disadvantages of Green Heat:
1. Ineffective for Large Spaces: In medium to large rooms, they take too long to heat, leading to higher costs.
2. Limited Heating Range: Moving a few meters away from the heat source can result in feeling cold.
3. Not Truly Eco-friendly: The system is not genuinely sustainable or eco-friendly.
4. Inefficient Heating Method: The technology relies on heating a resistor (Joule effect), which is not the most efficient method.
Additional Considerations
The cost of green heat systems can vary widely, from $200 to $620, depending
on the size and labor costs involved.
