Unlike forced air systems, our Schwank heaters heat objects instead of the surrounding air to ensure maximum comfort and efficiency. By heating objects, Schwank heaters are able to save more energy and decrease heat losses.
Schwank offers a variety of heaters, covering almost every individual application.
They are also suited for new builds as well as retrofits.

Infrared heating explained

How infrared heating works
Infrared waves are given off by any object warmer than its surroundings. An IR heater is defined as having a surface temperature of greater than 300°F (150°C) up to 1800°F (980°C). The two types of IR heaters are:
- Tube (or low intensity) heaters
- High-intensity (or luminous) heaters
