Winter is coming, whether you like the snow and crisp winter mornings or long for the return of spring and summer, heating our homes becomes an important issue to us all. A fairly new technology called Infrared Heating has exploded onto the market and is now more affordable than ever. Using technology similar to the warmth you feel from being outside in the sun, the heaters heat objects in your home like walls, sofas, floors and even yourself, slowly, so they themselves warm the room. There are many benefits to this technology for both health and the environment inside your home or business, as well as being extremely cheap to run!

When we look at combining infrared heaters with renewable energy the technology can warm up the building quickly and easily for little to no cost, considering an Infrared heater is the ideal choice for those homes powered in part with solar panels or home power storage solutions. Infrared heaters can be used in homes and offices as they are extremely easy to install and blend with the room decor. You can install them on furniture, hang it on the wall and even attach it to the roof for seamless integration.

The basic principle of infrared heaters is — they warm up the solid objects in the room rather than warming up the air inside. Just like the sun instantly warms the objects as soon as it is switched on, an infrared heater has a similar application for any room, bed, bath and beyond.

The best part about these infrared heaters are that they can last between 15 and 25 years, they require no servicing as they have no moving parts so compared to other heating methods the overall cost over the lifespan of the heaters is exceptional!

Infrared heating for conservatories:

As we all know, conservatories are glass rooms attached to our homes and are used as a sun lounge or for growing our delicate plants. However, most of us use this room as our personal indoor in the outdoors personal space where we can relax and enjoy some quality time. Heating these spaces can often be hard during the winter and these lovely spaces often go unoccupied for this reason.

While you can easily plumb in a radiator in your other rooms, conservatories are an awkward exception. It is not recommended to opt for this method. Traditionally, conservatory heating has been an overlooked concept.

When we use a radiator in a conservatory, the glass walls do not absorb the heat in the air and offer poor insulation. Also, the large open spaces in conservatories do not offer a good comfortable heating solution.

They are expensive to install, run and maintain and also limits the conservatory use to the summer months.

Further, condensation in the conservatories heats up the air inside leaving the walls, furniture and solid pieces cold. This causes mold and other decoration problems.

But, with Infrared heaters gaining in popularity in modern days, we now get a chance to make the most of our conservatories especially in the winter. As with any property using an infrared heater, it heats up the walls and furniture in the conservatory and that helps eliminate the chances of mold and condensation.

There are great benefits of installing an infrared heater in your conservatory. Some of them are:

  6. Infrared heating reduces allergies: Since air is not a medium to transport heat for any infrared heater, there are fewer chances of dust allergies.
  7. Low cost: The cost of running an infrared panel is cheaper than the combination of radiator and boiler. They require less power output to provide the same level of heat. A 600W infrared panel will run the same as any 1500W convection heater.

Far more efficient than the electric and convection heaters, the infrared panels are amongst the newest of technological developments. Made up of ceramic glass, aluminum or mirror panel, they can be mounted on the wall as well as the furniture. The infrared panels are positioned carefully so that nothing blocks the infrared emission from the panel.
