‘Far’ Infrared is radiant heat.  From the days of cavemen through to Romans with their hypercausts, to coal fires in homes, it has been the favoured form of heating for thousands of years.  Due to the fact that these forms of heating heat Thermal Mass (Objects) which in turn radiate back to the environment.

So why did it change? Simply, we decided to forget about it around 60 years ago because fossil fuels powering central heating made it so cheap to heat air! Yes, manufacturers of convective heaters found efficiencies in the technology but, fundamentally it just made the technology better at heating in an in-efficient method.

If we had the technology 50 or 60 plus years ago, as a ‘comfort’ heating system, to heat homes and buildings by Far Infrared and it was cost effective it is easily argued that it would naturally been adopted.  After all, this is the natural way that the earth is heated by the sun, it is the natural way that humans absorb heat by design, we now have the technology that is available today and is affordable, especially through the H4Heat members club.

Like all new breakthrough’s in technology and innovations to establish itself into the mainstream it sometimes takes a little time.  However, we at H4Heat believe this is going to happen at a fast pace as all we are doing is reverting back to the way we naturally heat ourselves, through technology we are re-establishing the way we heated ourselves for thousands of years.  Those clever Romans and their hypocausts were onto something!
