Infrared heating panels work on the same principal as the sun. The panels emit light in the non-visible part of the light spectrum. Instead of heating up the cold air in a room like traditional forms of heating (radiators, underfloor heating, storage heaters etc) the infrared light works by heating the mass of the room - the walls, the floor, the furniture and the people present.

The infrared panels are an extremely efficient way to heat your home using electricity. When combined with a green electricity tariff you can rest assured that you are not using fossil fuels to heat your home.

Because they don’t rely on the heating, convection and circulation of air. They immediately get to work heating the walls, furniture and people. This provides an almost immediate heating effect. As a secondary benefit, over time, the walls and floor themselves will begin to radiate the heat that they have absorbed back in to the room, essentially making your room into one big radiator!

As infrared heating does not rely on the convection of air they are situated differently from more traditional forms of heating (eg radiators and underfloor heating needing to be low in a room to heat the cold air which then rises).

Typically, infrared heating panels are flat aluminium panels that are mounted on the ceiling or high on a wall. Think of them as a torch. They will project out infrared light at a 45 degree angle, casting it across your space. Anything it hits will feel the benefit. This placement has the added advantage of buying back some of your wall space which was previously occupied by a radiator or storage heater.

They are ideal for garden rooms, garages, home office spaces, basements, bedrooms, living rooms and kitchens. You can either use them in standalone spaces or as a whole home installation. You can even get the panels as mirrors and towel rails for the bathroom or even printed with your favourite photograph.
