Infrared heaters from VAL6 use radiant heat transfer to warm objects directly rather than heating the air around them like many top competitor models. Much like sunlight warming the earth, infrared energy travels in a straight line and penetrates the surface of materials, creating deep, even warmth. This makes them incredibly efficient—nearly 100% of the fuel’s energy is converted into usable heat. Because there’s no moving air, these heaters operate quietly, dust-free, and without heat loss to wind or cold ambient air. Infrared heaters are ideal for workshops, warehouses, and outdoor job sites where conventional forced-air systems fall short.
