Beat the Cold Front: A Smarter Way to Stay Warm This Winter

As cold fronts sweep across the US, keeping your home warm without sending energy bills soaring can feel like a challenge. 

Traditional heating systems often struggle to balance comfort, efficiency, and cost. Infrared heating, however, is changing the way we think about staying warm—offering instant comfort, lower energy use, and a more natural heating experience.

How Infrared Heating Works

Unlike conventional convection heaters that warm the air and rely on circulation, infrared heaters emit far-infrared heat. This heat travels directly to objects and people, warming them on contact. 

The effect is similar to the comforting glow of a fireplace—natural, balanced, and immediately noticeable.

Once surfaces absorb this heat, they slowly release it back into the room. This creates a stable, comfortable temperature without the need for constant heating, helping to keep energy usage under control even during the coldest months.

Why Choose Infrared Heating?

Infrared heating is widely regarded as one of the most energy-efficient ways to heat indoor spaces. Because warmth is delivered directly to people and objects, rooms feel comfortable at lower temperature. 

In practice, this means you can reduce the temperature by a few degrees while maintaining the same level of warmth you’d expect from a traditional system.

Key advantages of infrared heating include:

1. High Heating Efficiency

Infrared heaters target surfaces and occupants directly. The absorbed heat is retained and gradually released, keeping rooms warmer for longer and reducing overall energy demand. 

This efficient cycle can result in energy savings of up to 30%.

2. Instant Warmth

Traditional heaters often need long run times to heat a space fully. Infrared heaters, such as Kelvin, provide near-instant warmth the moment they are switched on. 

This quick heat-up time means the system runs for shorter periods, further cutting energy costs.

3. Even Heat Distribution

With convection heating, warm air rises, often leaving floors cold and creating uncomfortable temperature differences. 

Infrared heating eliminates this problem by warming surfaces evenly throughout the room, removing hot and cold spots and improving overall comfort.

4. Health and Air Quality Benefits

Because infrared heaters don’t circulate air, they don’t spread dust or allergens. This makes them an excellent choice for people with asthma, allergies, or other respiratory sensitivities. 

The gentle, dry heat also helps reduce dampness and lowers the risk of mould forming in the home.

What is The Kelvin Infrared Heater?

For homeowners looking to beat the cold front with modern technology, the Kelvin smart electric infrared heater offers a powerful combination of efficiency, convenience, and intelligent control.

Kelvin uses advanced infrared technology paired with smart energy-saving features, all managed through the Boldr Energy app. Kelvin’s modern design makes it suitable not only for homes, but also for offices, studios, and specialist spaces such as yoga studios.
