Infrared Heating Panels Vs Night Storage Heaters - [Surya Heating FAQs] 

Hi there! Generally you'll feel the heat from the panel within a 3m range, after which the heat noticeably tapers off. Of the two ceiling height you mention, 2.2m would be best, as this is pretty close to the standard height for ceilings in UK buildings anyway. If you need guidance on which wattage would be best for your space, you can give us a call on 0116 321 4124, we're open Mon-Fri 9am-5:30pm.

Thanks for the quick response. This is being installed in a Holiday let, and at the coldest point of the house meaning everywhere else is really warm/property insulated using internal insulated plasterboard - apart from this space. It will be heating the space directly as you enter. Because it is a Holiday let I ideally need a wireless thermostat to sense the change in temperature (if it drops by a certain amount) and turn off and on accordingly. As we will not be there to manage it ourselves and ideally don't want it running all the time. Do you sell any models with a wireless thermostat?

@@rotostudio9210 No problem! We have a couple of models that I think could work for you: the first is our NXT Gen panels. They come with a built-in thermostat, and the temperature sensor is located on the remote itself, which some of our clients have mounted directly to the wall, though we don't sell any wall mounts for this. You can basically set your temperature and let it do it's thing: it'll switch on and off to maintain your target temperature. I'll leave the link for them here: www.suryaheating.co.uk/glass-ir-heating-panels.html?cat=57 The second option would be our Nexus Wi-Fi Panels. They work the same way: built-in thermostat with the temperature sensor on the remote. The main difference here though is that they're Wi-Fi enabled, so you'd be able to control it even when you're not at the premises. You'd need a Wi-Fi connection at the holiday let of course. The link for those is here: www.suryaheating.co.uk/glass-ir-heating-panels.html?_=1701858602818&cat=58 A third option would be a Classic Panel with a hardwired thermostat, but given that you're looking to heat a single space, I don't think you'd need to go for this option as it is a bit of extra work. The other two options would give you the same result with less faff!

It's no different to if your appliances were left in front of a window in direct sunglight - there is pretty much zero risk to your tech with infrared.

never point to objects that may easily over heat, as e.g. textils or plastic.. Sonyou have to point better from a wall to the opposit one and avoid pointing direct to humans, there's no much pleasure getting IR on face/head...😬 Somehow stones are neutral😂

@@gnmalai While this is solid advice, the level of heat generated by IR panels in general aren't enough to cause any damage or create any hazards within your home.

Yes, this is what is making it difficult to provide accurate info regarding the impact of IR Panels on EPC ratings. Once SAP tests are done then we'll be able to provide better info about this.

Any savings you make by using electricity during the night are entirely dependent on your energy provider and whether you get differing on-peak/off-peak rates, as most fixed rate tariffs are the same during day and night nowadays, unless you are on an economy 7 or similar tariff.

@@suryaheating Yes, you have to be on Economy 7 to use storage heaters. I'm on EDF in London and its less than 9p per KwH on night rate

​@@simonho8723same but i've still decided to give panels a try, will see how much of a difference it makes.
