IR Energy mWAVE Infrared Electric Heaters

IR Energy mWAVE Infrared Heaters for Patios and Interiors

The mWAVE series from IR Energy is a slim, hardwired infrared heater that mounts on a wall, under a ceiling or from chains. Rather than warming the air, which drifts off the moment a door opens or a breeze picks up, it sends medium-wave infrared straight to people and furniture, so you feel it within seconds of switching on. The woven carbon element gives off a low orange glow with less glare than a short-wave lamp, which matters when the heater hangs over a dining table or sits in your sightline all evening.

Smart or Pro: Pick How You Want to Run It

mWAVE Smart is made for spaces where the people using it want to adjust it. It joins the Tuya Smart or Smart Life app on a 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi network, comes with a handheld remote, and answers to Alexa and Google Home. Five heat levels, a shutoff timer, schedules and multi-heater zones are all built in.

mWAVE Pro drops the Wi-Fi and remote and wires instead to a line-voltage thermostat, a timer switch, an occupancy sensor or a building management system. That suits restaurants, hotels and offices where the heat should follow a schedule rather than a remote. Without IR Energy's factory-supplied control, a Pro runs at full output.

Size It by Mounting Height, Not Square Footage

An infrared heater is matched to how high it hangs. IR Energy designs each mWAVE size for its own mounting-height range: the smallest runs on a standard household circuit for low balcony ceilings and patio covers, while the larger single-element and two-element models need a higher-voltage circuit and are built to carry heat down from tall ceilings, vaulted rooms and courtyards. The product pages list the mounting height and coverage IR Energy designs each one for, and the swivel brackets aim the heat at the seating.

One Heater, Indoors or Out

Each mWAVE housing is IP65 rated against dust and water jets and CSA certified for indoor and outdoor use. IR Energy rates the series at 90% radiant efficiency under AHRI 1330 testing. With no fan, it runs silently and stirs up no draft, which makes it as comfortable over an indoor pool, in a sunroom or above a home bar as it is on an open patio.

Planning the Install

No mWAVE plugs in. Each one is hardwired by a licensed electrician on a dedicated circuit sized at 125% of the heater's draw, with clearances taken from the installation manual for the mounting angle you choose. IR Energy warrants mWAVE components for 12 months.
