Haha, I love the imagination but just to put your mind at ease, turning a room into a microwave isn’t quite the way to go! That said, you’re actually not far off from how far infrared heating works (safely, of course!). With TUV Certification (TÜV (short for Technischer Überwachungsverein, which means “Technical Inspection Association” in German) refers to a group of independent German organisations that test and certify products for safety, quality and compliance with international standards.)
Far infrared doesn’t use microwaves — it emits a gentle, natural wavelength of heat (similar to the sun’s warmth) that heats people and objects directly, not the air. It’s totally safe and incredibly efficient. No radiation risks, no zapping and definitely no cooked humans involved. 😄
We’ve installed this type of heating in over 3,000 buildings so far with plastered in infrared heating — including hospitals, care homes, schools and homes across the UK and can proudly report: not a single sandwich has spoiled, no hamsters have been harmed and all pot plants are still standing.
So yes warming people directly without overheating the air or environment is absolutely possible. You just don’t need to turn your living room into a science experiment to do it.
