FAQs

The short answer is YES! It is 100% safe and natural. It is extremely beneficial for our bodies, and our well-being, since being human, we naturally absorb infrared heat. Infrared heat works the same way as the sun does. It is the same energy as we get from the sun but just without the harmful UV rays. It gives your immune system a boost and improves the elasticity of your skin.

Conventional heaters heat up cubic areas of air, which means that there will always be cold air in the room. When the air becomes warmer, it travels towards the ceiling leaving you to deal with colder air that the conventional heater needs to warm up again. This cycle continues as long as it’s on making it the least practical and a costly way to heat up your home. Whereas Infrared heaters use infrared technology to directly warm individuals and objects inside a room through IR rays. These IR rays bounce off objects and people, providing instant warmth and focused heating. Meaning you won’t face any heat loss issue and won’t need to keep heating inside your homes on for longer.

Yes, Infrared heaters are completely safe to leave on overnight. At Kiasa our heaters come with a safety shut-off switch, in-case the heater gets too hot or falls over. Our remote control heaters automatically turn off once the target temperature is reached.

Infrared heaters share the same hazards as other common space heaters:

1. Possible fire hazard – Make sure to not leave any flammable objects near the heater and keep the area in front of the heater clear.

2. Potential burns – Do not touch the heater whilst it is turned on, the surface temperatures of our heaters can reach up to 110 degrees.

There are zero maintenance and servicing costs for infrared heaters, unlike convectional radiators. This is because Infrared heaters don’t rely on a boiler to produce heat. With this major benefit, you won’t have to worry about the costs of a boiler breakdown, or replacing pipelines etc. In the rare case if a heater stops working, you would only need to replace that one. With Kiasa we offer up to 2+ years of warranty, depending on which product you purchase, click here to find out more.

We advise our customers to mount your infrared heaters high up on the wall just below the ceiling, and for our infrared panels you can even mount them on the ceiling. This is because having your infrared heaters high up on the wall will allow an unhindered spread of heat. Having you heaters pointed down towards the floor will make sure your comfortably heated at all times and will help the heat distribute more effectively across the room. Having your infrared heaters mounted low on the walls, similar to radiators will prevent the heat to evenly spread effectively, and will only heat the air, rather than directly heating individuals. You can purchase our suspension mounting kits for Infrared panels and Heating bars

Yes, the KIASA 180W and 350W models can be used as personal heaters. It’s perfect for places like, small bathrooms, utility rooms, porches and under your office desk. It’s the most effective when you are using it individually with the KIASA Panel Feet(sold separately).

The ideal IP Rating (Ingress Protection Rating) is IP65. All panels have a rating of 65. This means that it has full protection against from total dust ingress and it’s protected from low pressure water jets from any direction.

There are many factors such as size and insulation to consider when deciding how many watts you need or even how many Infrared Panels you need. For any larger rooms we recommend more than one Panel so it can distribute heat evenly and quicker. Smaller rooms, depending on the size, one should be sufficient enough. Infrared Heating works by heating up the thermal mass of the interior, so after starting it initially; it can take anything from a couple of hours to a few days to feel its full effect so, if it’s a room that’s damp, it will take longer. However, if you are unsure of what you need you can always get in touch with us via chat on or website or even call us directly for free advice on 0116 488 5150.

Short answer is no. The panels have been designed to be the exact opposite. Keeping in mind that each interior is different, they have been manufactured with a smooth finish that blends in with all types of décor.

Yes, everything you need to mount your Infrared Panel comes with the panel in the box when it’s delivered to you. If you wanted the panel to be suspended from the ceiling or free standing additional purchases need to be made for a suspension mounting kit.

When installing the heater we recommend a distance of 10-30cm from all other objects for safety reasons depending on the size of the panel. 180W is a personal heater so it can be placed as close as under your desk. We advise 30cm for our 720W Panel since it will radiate rather powerful heat.

At KIASA we have two types of Infrared Panels. One option is simple as pressing a button to switch it on and go. The other option is that you can purchase a KIASA Classic+ Infrared Panel where you can set up 4 different modes based on time and days of the week, and control the temperature itself.

When pairing the remote to your Classic+ Infrared Panel, all you have to do is switch on the panel, hold down the + and – button down together until the ‘connect’ button has started to flash and you hear a ‘beep’ sound indicating that it is connected.

After successfully pairing the remote to your panel, you can set up to 4 different modes using the remote.

Pressing down the M button you will be able to switch between the system time and the thermostat. When you have decided, press down and hold the M button.

When in thermostat mode the mode use the + and – buttons to decide if its mode 1, 2, 3 or 4 (the programme slots) you want to change. When you’re ready press ok.

The ‘target’ temperature should immediately start flashing. Using + or – set the desired temperature and then press ok.

Next it will ask you to set the days of the week using the + and - buttons. You have 4 options. You can set it on weekly, weekend only, daily or just for the just for weekdays. When you have decided press OK.

Next it will give you the option to set the ‘ST’ (start time) first and then, after you have pressed ok, the option for the ‘ET’ (end time) will come up. Press ok and you are good to go.

NOTE: When the screen has been left on idle for more than a few seconds, the screen will switch off to save power.

Halogen heaters are completely safe to run, they don't release any harmful gases such as carbon monoxide or smoke. 

Halogen heaters provides instant heat, and the infrared heat that is released, can effectively heat any outdoor space. The costs of running a halogen heater using 1000 watts would be approximately 18 pence per hour.

We advise installing the heater at least 1.8m from the floor and tilt to the appropriate direction to maximize the efficiency of the heater.

No, there is no light emitted from the product. The only light that will be on is the LED screen on the DW range or the little red right on the J Range. When the heater is initially started, there will be a smell coming of the heater for a few hours. This is perfectly normal as this is burning off the protective oils from the heater.

You can use an external thermostat but only with the J Range. As this doesn't have a built in thermostat it will be compatible with any external thermostat. The DW Range will NOT work an external thermostat.

The DW range comes with WIFI compatibility. You can do the all the same things as you do from the remote control, from the App as well.
