How infrared heating works

Infrared heats you and the room, not the air. Here is the difference, and why it matters for comfort, damp and running costs.

Heating the air, or heating you?

Switch between a traditional radiator and infrared to see where the warmth goes in the same room.

Infrared warms people and surfaces directly, the way the sun does. Walls and floors hold that warmth and give it back, so the room stays comfortable without heating every bit of air first.

    Infrared, answered

    Ready to see it in your home? Explore infrared panels.

    Is infrared heating safe?

    Yes. Infrared panels give off the same kind of gentle radiant warmth you feel from the sun, without UV.

    Does infrared help with damp?

    Infrared warms walls and surfaces directly, which helps keep them dry. It also does not circulate dust the way convection heaters can.

    Is infrared cheaper to run than storage heaters?

    It depends on your home and how you use it. Because you heat only the rooms in use, and warmth is felt quickly, many homes use less energy. We show the workings for your home on the survey.
