THANK YOU!!
Thank you very much for selecting Fostoria’s overhead electric infrared heating equipment for your
comfort heating needs. These products were engineered with the most reliable components and
materials available and are equipped with features to assure ease of installation and maintenance.
The warmth you will now enjoy when using this heating equipment is created by a heat source; a at
panel emitter; that emits infrared energy in the form of heat, like the sun. This is an economical way
to heat because it heats people and objects, not the air, so you don’t need to heat a large area to feel
warm.
