What is infrared heating? Is it safe?
SOLUS+ works through far infrared radiant heat. Rather than heating the air, far infrared radiant heats you and the object in your room directly. Its best compared to the warmth of the sun, which warms you regardless of the temperature of the air around you. The opposite to Radiant heat is convection heat. Convection heaters heat air, which retains heat poorly and disappears on draughts. Far infrared heating is completely safe and has been used by people in their homes for years.
What safety standards do SOLUS+ adhere to?
SOLUS meets the highest European safety standards and is certified by TUV Nord to the EN 60335-2-30 and EN 60335-1 standards. Moreover, all SOLUS+ models have an IP44 rating allowing them to be used safely in bathrooms and kitchens, where resistance to water splashes and moisture is needed. SOLUS+ also complies with the more recent EU Lot 20 Legislation around heating efficiency.
Are there any maintenance/servicing costs associated with SOLUS+?
There are no maintenance or servicing costs associated with SOLUS+
It seems overpriced for what it is…
The SOLUS+ is 2 to 3 times cheaper than our closest competitors in the same range.
Where is the SOLUS+ made?
Products are assembled and manufactured in Latvia, Europe.
Due to the law of physics, no heater produces more heat than another. How is the SOLUS+ different?
This is correct when it comes to electric heaters. However, a lot of electric heaters waste a lot of heat. The SOLUS+ offers savings in wasting far less energy and heat.
Does a single heater, heat the whole home?
We have 2 models. The M1 and the M2. The M1 model can heat up to 15 square meters and the M2 can heat up to 25 square meters.
Without circulation wouldn’t the SOLUS+ be a waste?
No. Convection heaters that depend on air circulation are not cost efficient. The hot air rises to the ceiling, which is not where you want your heat. The SOLUS+ on the other hand heats objects and people directly utilising completely safe infrared technology and allows for even heat distribution and cost effective heat delivery.
A watt is a watt when it comes to energy usage though?
That’s correct! However, with smart home functionality and infrared technology, we help our users waste far less energy in achieving a warm environment rather than generating heat from a watt.
Will it come with the correct plug for Aussie homes?
Yes! It will be shipped with an Australian power plug.
