When winter hits, every Australian household wants to stay warm without sacrificing comfort, safety, or air quality. For decades, wood heaters have been the go-to choice for that cosy glow. But times have changed — and so have our heating options.
Far Infrared (FIR) heaters like the Ionmax Ray FIR Heater are emerging as a smarter alternative. They’re efficient, safe, and environmentally friendly — all without the smoke, mess, and maintenance that come with burning wood.
So, is it time to rethink your heating? Let’s break it down.
Health & air quality: Breathe easier indoors
The problem with wood heaters:
Wood burning releases fine particulate matter (PM2.5) that can worsen asthma, trigger allergies, and increase the risk of heart and lung disease. In fact, wood smoke is one of the biggest contributors to winter air pollution in Australian towns and cities.
The FIR heater advantage:
The Ionmax Ray FIR Heater produces no on-site emissions — no smoke, no dust, and no carbon monoxide. FIR heat warms objects and people directly, without disturbing indoor air quality. This makes it perfect for households with kids, seniors, or anyone with respiratory sensitivities.
Efficiency & environmental impact
Wood heaters
Burning wood may feel “natural,” but it releases CO₂, black carbon, and methane — all potent greenhouse gases.
Ionmax Ray FIR Heater
FIR heaters convert electricity into heat at around 98.5 to 100% efficiency, meaning almost no energy is wasted. If you power your home with solar or other renewables, your heating can be virtually emissions-free.
Safety & convenience
Wood heaters
Come with inherent fire risks, require proper chimney ventilation, and need regular cleaning to avoid dangerous creosote buildup.
Ionmax Ray FIR Heater
No combustion, no exposed flames, no risk of carbon monoxide poisoning. The Ionmax Ray also comes with tip-over protection, quiet operation, and minimal maintenance — making it a “set and forget” solution for busy households.
Long-term value
Wood heaters
You’ll spend time and money sourcing firewood, storing it, and maintaining your heater.
Ionmax Ray FIR Heater
No fuel costs, no chimney cleaning, and no hidden upkeep. Over its lifetime, the savings in maintenance and fuel alone can make the Ionmax Ray the more cost-effective choice.
Comfort & lifestyle
FIR heating feels like standing in the sun — warm, even, and instant. Unlike wood heaters that need time to light and heat a room, FIR heaters start delivering comfort immediately. Plus, the slim and modern design of the Ionmax Ray blends into your space without the bulk of a traditional fireplace.
Where customers are feeling the difference

“I’ve suddenly realised my Ionmax Ray is turning 10 years old soon. I’ve only ever needed to set it to medium power for a great night's sleep in winter. Massive high five to the company and staff for making something that lasts and performs faultlessly for so long.”
