Herschel Select Portable 500W FAQ
What is Infrared Heating?
Infrared heating utilises natural wavelengths in the electromagnetic spectrum to heat objects in a similar way to the sun. 100% natural and sfe, infrared heating heats objects directly, rather than the air and objects around it. This allows infrared heaters to be super efficient, reduce dampness and mould (compared to other heating types), and provide a pleasant warmth that feels akin to standing in the sun on a crisp spring day.
How long does it take for infrared heaters to heat up?
Infrared heaters come in two types: shortwave and far wave. The two types are characterised by the size of wavelengths they produce. Shortwave are typically used for outdoor use and heat up quickly, between 10-60 seconds. Far wave, like the herschel portable and panel heaters, take between 1 minute and 20 minutes to heat up.
Can I control the infrared heater with my smartphone?
Yes, the heater is equipped with Herschel’s SMART-R system, which allows for app-enabled control via the SmartLife App. This includes features like scheduling, voice control via Alexa or Google Assistant, and more.
