Conventional heating systems produce heat energy in the long and medium waveband. Consequently, this type of heating system offers high transmission losses. Heat rushes out when cold air rushes in when ever doors are opened in a building.
The Innovative Quartz Heating shortwave heating Technology provides radiant heat energy which instantly warms people and solid objects within the beam of heat.
WHY CHOOSE SOLAIRA QUARTZ HEATING OVER NATURAL GAS OR PROPANE HEATERS?
