High-Efficiency Radiant Heat
Using this high-performance, high output engineered shortwave infrared heating technology, these heaters produce short infrared wavelengths that can convert greater than 85% of consumed energy into instant, controllable, directional heat. Radiant efficiency is maximized because the heat generated by infrared heaters warms people and objects, with limited warming of the air, and is virtually unaffected by air current or breezes.
At a Glance: High-Efficiency Radiant Heat
- High-efficiency shortwave infrared heaters convert more than 85% of consumed electrical energy into instant, directional heat, delivering comfort without the delays associated with conventional heating systems.
- Engineered for both indoor and outdoor environments, these radiant heaters maintain performance in windy, open-air, and high-airflow spaces where traditional heating methods often struggle.
- Multiple product families support virtually any application, from residential patios and restaurant seating areas to commercial terraces, hospitality venues, warehouses, and architectural projects.
ICR Series
Solaira’s ICR Series high-performance, high output engineered shortwave heating technology produces a short infrared wavelength which can convert greater than 85% of consumed energy into instant, controllable, directional heat. Radiant efficiency is maximized as radiant heat warms people and objects, with limited warming of the air, and is virtually unaffected by air current or breezes.

Benefits:
- Low Ceiling Clearance - ICR SERIES have low ceiling clearance requirements (as little as 4.5˝ clearance with included mounting bracket directly to ceiling and 6″ when mounted on a wall)
- Recessed (flush) Mount Option with Kit - ICR SERIES can be mounted with a recess/flush mount kit for commercial and outdoor residential ceiling structures

Frequently Asked Questions
Quick Links
What makes high-efficiency radiant heaters different from traditional heating systems?
High-efficiency radiant heaters use shortwave infrared technology to transfer heat directly to people, furnishings, equipment, and surfaces rather than heating the surrounding air. This approach allows occupants to feel warmth almost immediately after the heater is energized. Because less energy is spent heating large volumes of air, radiant systems can provide more targeted comfort in both indoor and outdoor environments. They are particularly effective in drafty or open spaces where conventional forced-air systems may struggle to maintain consistent temperatures.
Where are high-efficiency infrared heaters commonly installed?
These heaters are frequently installed in outdoor dining areas, hospitality venues, patios, rooftop terraces, balconies, event spaces, waiting areas, warehouses, fitness facilities, and commercial buildings. Architectural-grade models blend into design-focused environments while higher-output units can support larger commercial and industrial applications. Freestanding, recessed, ceiling-mounted, wall-mounted, and suspended configurations allow heaters to be integrated into a wide variety of building designs. This flexibility makes them suitable for both new construction and retrofit projects.
What is the difference between the ICR, Alpha, XL, Malibu, Candel, and Cozy heater series?
Each series is designed for specific installation and performance requirements. The ICR Series offers recessed and low-clearance mounting options for seamless architectural integration. The Alpha Series provides commercial-grade performance with durable weather-resistant construction for indoor and outdoor applications. The XL Series combines high efficiency with a slim architectural profile ideal for hospitality environments. The Malibu Series delivers 360-degree freestanding heat coverage for open seating areas, while the Candel Series minimizes visible light output for ambiance-sensitive spaces. The Cozy Series is designed for smaller seating areas, patios, terraces, and installations where compact size and flexibility are priorities.
Are infrared radiant heaters energy efficient?
Yes. High-efficiency shortwave infrared heaters can convert more than 85% of consumed electrical energy into usable radiant heat. Because the heat is directed toward occupied areas instead of attempting to warm the entire air volume, energy can be focused where it is needed most. This can be particularly beneficial in outdoor spaces, large rooms, or facilities with frequent air movement. The ability to create heating zones and use advanced controls can further improve operating efficiency.
Can these heaters be integrated with advanced controls and zoning systems?
Absolutely. High-efficiency infrared heaters can be paired with dimmers, timers, thermostats, occupancy controls, and multi-zone control systems to optimize both comfort and energy usage. Multiple heaters can be grouped into independently controlled zones to match occupancy patterns and heating requirements throughout a facility. For larger commercial projects, custom relay panels and centralized control solutions can be engineered to simplify operation and maximize efficiency. This level of control is particularly valuable in restaurants, event venues, hospitality properties, and commercial buildings where heating demands vary throughout the day.
