Question from Jody

Hi Debra,

Do you know of any health concerns related to infrared heaters? I am considering installing this:

Thank you. Jody

Debra’s Answer

This looks fine to me as a heater.

However, the “air filter” is only a UV lamp and negative ion generator. This removes some particles and no gasses, but does kill bacteria and viruses and other micro-organisms.

The same caveat applies to this heater as to all others: the paint may emit odors when the heater is on until the paint is fully outgassed. But when outgassed, this heater should be fine.
