With the rising price of energy today concerns about energy use and efficiency in the home are also on the rise. Many older people live on a fixed income, which makes it difficult for them to afford the high cost of heating. They often rely on the use of traditional heating equipment with low heat conversion rates and difficult control systems. Therefore, the need for simple and efficient heating is becoming more and more important.

Smart Warm creates an innovative infrared heating solution. By using a body sensor to detect the position of the human body, the heater rotates to direct the infrared radiation to the skin’s surface, heating the area where the user is located. Localised heating using infrared radiation does not have to heat the whole room, reducing wasted heat and giving the user a more comfortable heating experience. The heater is designed with a carry handle for easy movement. The screen and touch buttons allow the user to quickly switch between different intelligent modes, reducing the complexity of the operation process.
