Price includes VAT Shipping calculated at checkout.
The Herschel Summit Black is a powerful 2.6 kW far-infrared heater with a structured black surface, built for spaces that need strong, focused warmth without the glow you get from a medium-wave heater. Its slim, dark finish blends into modern interiors and sits neatly on a wall or overhead, making it a good fit for conservatories and extensions as well as bars, cafés, restaurants and shops. It is also available in white.
The Summit must always sit under a permanent roof and be kept away from rain or any other water. Most of our customers mount it on the ceiling so the heat falls straight onto the area below. In breezy or draughty spots the heated area can shrink by a third to a half, so you may need extra heaters, and for exposed outdoor areas our patio heaters are a better choice.
Full features, controls, installation notes and specifications are below.

- 2.6 kW output from a Kanthal AF heating element

Controls
Two versions are available. The IR-SUMMIT-2600R comes with a handheld remote that switches between full (100%) and half (50%) power and sets a timer from 1 to 24 hours. It is controlled by the remote only and cannot be connected to a thermostat or any other control.
The IR-SUMMIT-2600 has no remote and is designed to be wired to an external 16A thermostat for automatic temperature control. Any suitable 16A thermostat can be used, as it simply switches the heater on and off; see our thermostats. Ask us for advice on 01342 645021 or at info@infraredheatinguk.co.uk if you are unsure which to choose.
Installation
The Summit is supplied without a plug and needs to be hard-wired by a qualified electrician. Our official installation partner, Standard Electrical Services, can fit it for you and help decide on the best mounting position.
