How Infrared Heating Works
No wasted heat
Unlike convection heaters that warm the air, infrared warms objects and people.
Zero drafts
Perfect for draughty or poorly insulated areas like garages and conservatories.
Low-maintenance
No moving parts, no noise – just warmth with silence and no fuss.

Why switch to Infrared Heating?
Infrared (IR) heating is a smarter, cleaner, and more efficient way to warm your home or business. Unlike old-school systems like gas radiators or oil heaters, infrared panels deliver direct heat that’s fast, cost-effective, and eco-friendly. From lowering your energy bills to improving air quality and freeing up space with sleek, modern designs — infrared isn’t just an upgrade, it’s a game-changer.
Key Benefits
Instant, Targeted Heat
Infrared heating provides warmth you can feel within seconds. Unlike traditional radiators that slowly warm up the air (which can rise and escape), infrared heats objects, surfaces, and people directly — so you stay warm even in draughty or partially insulated spaces.
Lower Running Costs
Because you’re only heating the areas that actually need warmth (and not the whole room or house), you use significantly less energy. Infrared is highly efficient, with up to 98% of electricity converted into usable heat. It’s perfect for occasional-use spaces like garages and conservatories — you're not heating them all day, just when needed.
Silent & Maintenance-Free Operation
Infrared panels are completely silent — no fans, no moving parts, no clicking thermostats. Once installed, there’s virtually zero maintenance required. Just set it, forget it, and enjoy the warmth.
Smart Heating Options
Many infrared heaters can be paired with smart thermostats, timers, and even Wi-Fi apps, giving you full control over your comfort. Whether you want zoned heating or to control everything from your phone, it’s all possible.

FAQ
Infrared heating works by emitting radiant heat — similar to how the sun warms your skin. It doesn’t heat the air, but rather the objects and people in its path, which makes it extremely efficient, especially in draughty areas.
Absolutely. It’s one of the safest and most efficient options, especially since there are no exposed elements, moving parts, or emissions.
Infrared heaters provide radiant heat, while most electric heaters use convection (heating air). Infrared heats directly and uses less energy for the same comfort.
Many models are plug-and-play for DIY installs. For ceiling-mounted or hardwired models, we recommend a qualified electrician.
Very. Up to 98% of the energy goes into usable heat. There’s virtually no waste, and zoning (heating only the areas you need) makes it even more efficient.
Yes! Many of our models are compatible with smart plugs and thermostats, giving you full control over your heating from anywhere.
