Is infrared heating a good idea? – Trianco Blog

Infrared waves are one of the most power saving and efficient solutions for heating. It is a clean and economical way to heat a room or even a whole house. Not only is it easy to install, but it is also around 30% more efficient that standard electric heating.

With people increasingly looking for more efficient and cleaner ways of keeping themselves warm during cold winter nights, the popularity of infrared heating panels continues to increase.

How do they work?

Infrared heating works by heating a body or object. In comparison to  a normal convection system such as radiator, which warm up the surrounding air. Infrared heaters generally provide warmth a good deal quicker than most convection systems.

Installation

They are cheap to buy, easy to install and can be used for individual rooms or for a whole house. Much like a flat screen TV, infrared heating panels can be simply attached to the wall or ceiling. There is no problem with needing to install the pipework that comes with something like gas central heating.

They are also lightweight and if you desire can have wheels attached for free standing and easy movement, making them more flexible than conventional heating systems.

Benefits

Infrared heating is thought to be a lot healthier than convection systems and helps to keep damp walls dry. Our infrared panels can be regulated remotely via a smartphone app, and each panel is independently controlled making it easier to optimise the temperature of each room, further reducing costs.

For optimum output we recommend the panel surface temperature be set to the maximum mode of 95c, however the surface temperature of the panel can also be limited if required for safety.

The Aztec Infrared Heating panels are available in a variety of finishes and sizes including the perfect bathroom solution, towel rails.
