Why Infrared Heating?
Infrared Heating works by converting electricity into radiant heat which is the direct transfer of
heat from the element to the object (you and the room around you) without heating
the air in between, as traditional radiators do. This makes infrared heating systems highly efficient,
creatinga comfortable, draught-free environment with an even heat distribution throughout the area.
No possible water or gas leaks
Infrared heating systems do not require any pipework. So after the installation is complete, you can just sit back, relax and enjoy a warm environment without the worry of possible water or gas leaks that could be dangerous and costly to fix.
No maintenance costs
As opposed to conventional central heating systems that require a regular service, Infrared Heating systems have no moving parts or liquids or gases that require any form of annual maintenance contract.
Efficient and precise temperature control
Unlike central heating systems, infrared heating is being controlled on an individual basis with a programmable thermostat controller in each room. This ensures you only heat the rooms you need heated, when you want them heated. Precise heating in this way avoids wasting energy and minimizes your heating costs.
Instant heat
Infrared heating products produce almost instant heat since it is transferred directly onto the surrounding bodies and objects. You don’t need to wait for the air to heat up before you feel the warmth.

FAQs
View allWhat is Infrared Heating?
Infrared waves, or infrared light, are part of the electromagnetic spectrum. People encounter Infrared waves every day; the human eye cannot see them, but humans can detect them as heat. The heat is the same feeling of warmth as the sun on
your face on a cold winter day.
Infrared heaters work by converting electricity into radiant heat. This gives you the same feeling you get when the sun shines on you on a cold winter day and is similar to the feeling of a real fire. You do feel the effect instantly. There is a direct transfer of heat from the heater to the object, you and the room around you. Of course the air does heat up naturally. Traditional radiators heat the air around you and eventually you feel warmer. This is less effective. You will have warm and cool spots in a room from traditional heating. And due to this the heat is often set higher than it really needs to be to compensate for the cold spots in the room, making traditional heating less economical and less effective than infrared heating.
Infrared heating systems are highly efficient and economical. Infrared heat creates a comfortable, draught-free environment with an even heat distribution throughout the area.
Where is Infrared Heating used?
With continuous advances in technology, the controlled precision of infrared heat offers energy-efficient and cost-effective application. Infrared heaters and underfloor heating systems are now being widely applied globally in residential, commercial and industrial spaces.
Domestic applications include dry and wet rooms, extensions, patios, conservatories, basements, garages, sheds, garden rooms and other outbuildings.
Certain infrared heaters are designed to heat larger interiors which makes them great for commercial and industrial purposes such as offices, cafés, restaurants and pubs, churches, factories, warehouses, workshops, garages and schools.
How do you control Infrared Heating?
Whether it’s Infrared Heating Panels or Underfloor Heating, programmable thermostat
controllers are being used to control your heating system. Unlike central heating systems, infrared heating is being controlled on an individual basis with a thermostat controller in each room. This ensures you only heat the rooms you need heated, when you want them heated. Precise heating in this way avoids wasting energy and minimizes your heating costs. Our thermostat controllers are fully programmable to suit your heating needs.
Do Infrared Heaters work instantly?
Infrared Heating products provide almost instant heat since it is transferred directly onto the surrounding bodies and objects. You don’t need to wait for the air to heat up before you feel the warmth.
How do Infrared Heating panels work?
Infrared Heating systems are still a fairly recent addition to the UK market but their efficiency, simplicity and potential to reduce your energy bills makes them well worth considering over a traditional heating system.
By emitting radiant heat, infrared heating panels directly warm objects and people rather than the air, as traditional radiators do. So, if you were to sit near an infrared heating panel in a cold room, you would feel warm despite the air being cold.
