With the arrival of cold weather, it is necessary to save energy (and money), and one of the most widespread measures in Europe is infrared panels.
Infrared panels are a modern radiant heating system that replaces radiators, gas boilers and electric heaters, leaving homes free of appliances, walls with more space, and lower energy costs.
These panels not only heat a room more quickly and efficiently, but also consume less energy. They do this thanks to smart regulation via mobile apps, allowing you to precisely adjust the temperature in each room, significantly reducing operating costs, breakages and repairs.
How infrared panels work
Radiant infrared panels work by emitting infrared radiation that directly heats surfaces (walls, floors, furniture and the human body), not just the air. This method of radiant transfer offers several advantages: greater comfort at lower air temperatures (usually between 2 and 4°C lower), more even heat distribution, and less heat loss due to limited air flow.
This system is among the most economical heating methods, not only thanks to its technology, but also to a more efficient distribution of heat in the room. In a well-insulated flat, they can reduce energy consumption by 10%, compared to classic electric heaters or gas convectors. A home that switches to infrared heating can reduce its heating costs by between 25% and 70%, depending on the size of the room and the level of insulation. Thus, annual electricity costs can be reduced by several thousand pounds without compromising thermal comfort.
While conventional heating mainly heats the air and loses some of the heat through convection, infrared panels radiate directly onto the walls, floor and furniture, minimising heat loss. For many households, it is an affordable way to save without sacrificing comfort. And if you can manage it from an app, wherever you are, it turns off, and wherever you are going to be, it heats up a little earlier. An effective way to control the heating in a home when the cold weather approaches to prevent the electricity bill from rising excessively.
Now there are infrared heaters that can be covered with your own pictures, integrated into the environment as a work of art or disguised as a mirror in the bathroom.
