In the competitive hospitality industry, creating a comfortable environment for patrons is paramount. Traditional heating methods often fall short, leading to uneven warmth and inflated energy costs. Enter far infrared heating - a modern solution offering efficiency, comfort, and cost savings. It is particularly well suited for venues including pubs, clubs, restaurants and civic areas with both indoor and outdoor seating.
Understanding far infrared heating
Far infrared heating operates by emitting infrared radiation that directly warms objects and people, rather than merely heating the surrounding air. This method ensures a consistent and comfortable temperature, eliminating the drafts and uneven heating commonly associated with conventional systems. Used outside it ensures a cozy outdoor environment even on cooler evenings. Unlike traditional outdoor heaters that can be inefficient, costly and difficult to operate, far infrared heating offers an energy-efficient, targeted, and comfortable alternative.
Advantages for Hospitality and Other Venues
Energy efficiency
Far Infrared heaters convert nearly 100% of their energy into heat, making them far more efficient than, for example, gas patio heaters. Studies suggest that far infrared heating can reduce energy consumption by up to 60%, cutting operational expenses for hospitality venues.
Space-saving and stylish
Far Infrared heaters can be mounted on walls and ceilings, saving space and allowing the heat to be personalised to individual tables if needed. Far infrared heaters are available in sleek, wall-mounted, and ceiling-mounted designs, freeing up valuable floor space. You can choose between designer options to blend seamlessly into your venues' aesthetics or choose from our wide range of designer heaters that add style and sophistication to your establishment. We have everything from The Kiss by Gustav Klimt, to 19th century maritime-inspired artwork, to stunning Aboriginal art pieces.
Enhanced comfort
far infrared heating provides a fresh, comfortable space for guests and diners, meaning they can focus on enjoying their visit.
Targeted heating indoors and out
Unlike traditional outdoor heating methods such as gas heaters that need refilling regularly and struggle with wind interference, far infrared heating warms objects and people directly. This ensures consistent warmth across outdoor dining areas, keeping guests comfortable without excessive energy waste.
Improved safety and sustainability
Far infrared heaters do not produce open flames or carbon emissions, making them a safer and more environmentally friendly choice compared to gas-powered alternatives. This is particularly beneficial if you have a family-friendly environment that encourages children and your venue has committed to sustainability.
Choosing the right far infrared heating
When selecting far infrared heaters consider your space and choose a heater with the appropriate wattage and range to ensure sufficient warmth across all seating areas. You will also need to consider how you will mount your heating panels. You can choose from wall-mounted and ceiling-mounted, or freestanding, portable units that provide flexibility based on layout and space constraints. Our outdoor-rated far infrared heaters are designed to withstand varying weather conditions.
Implementing far infrared heating in your venue
The good news is that transitioning to far infrared heating is straightforward. It is easy to do yourself, so you won't need to pay for an electrician or a plumber.
A Compelling Solution
If you are an Australian pub, restaurant or public building aiming to enhance patron comfort while reducing operational costs, far infrared heating presents a compelling solution. It is energy efficient, space-saving, and has health benefits that make it an ideal choice for modern hospitality environments. By adopting this innovative heating technology, businesses can create a warm and inviting atmosphere that encourages repeat patronage and boosts profitability.
