INFRARED HEATING COLLECTION

Infrared Heaters with Built-In Thermostat

Made for precise temperature control, our infrared panels with built-in thermostats support efficient zoned heating, maintaining consistent temperatures for improved comfort around residential and commercial spaces. Featuring modern designs to match your interiors and automatic regulation, enjoy efficient heating and lower energy costs.

ABOUT THIS COLLECTION

An advanced and highly efficient heating solution that offers greater control and energy management in both residential and commercial settings, infrared heaters with built-in thermostats offer precise temperature control for enhanced comfort. Providing an all-in-one solution for living rooms, offices, retail spaces and spas, these panels seamlessly integrate into a wide range of spaces.

Equipped with a thermostat, the heater automatically regulates the room temperature by switching the system on and off as needed, ensuring a consistent and comfortable environment without constant manual adjustment. This helps prevent overheating and reduces unnecessary energy consumption, making the system more cost-effective over time. It is a well-loved solution for both homeowners and businesses alike.

Working by directly warming people, objects, and surfaces rather than just the air, the thermostat can maintain a steady level of radiant comfort even as room conditions change throughout the day. Explore all of your different models and find an easy-to-install panel that warms and comfort.

To explore the differences between integrated and externally controlled systems in more detail, see our guide to built-in thermostat vs non-thermostat infrared heaters.

HEATING BY APPLICATION

Suitable for the spaces you need to heat.

From individual rooms to larger commercial environments, explore where this infrared heating range can be used and find the right solution for your space.

WHY INFRARED?

A different way to experience warmth.

Infrared heating works differently from conventional convection systems. Rather than relying primarily on circulating warm air, radiant heat is absorbed by people, objects and surfaces within the space.

Comfortable warmth. Simple control. Beautifully discreet.

Discover the benefits
Efficient Heating

Direct radiant heating delivers warmth into the occupied space, with individual room control helping avoid unnecessary heating elsewhere.

Silent Operation

No fans or forced-air circulation means comfortable radiant warmth without background noise.

Zone Heating

Control individual rooms or areas independently instead of heating every space to the same temperature.

Responsive Warmth

Radiant warmth is delivered directly into the occupied space once the heater reaches operating temperature.

Space-Saving Design

Slim wall and ceiling-mounted options help keep valuable floor space clear.

Flexible Control

Choose from thermostat, scheduling and Wi-Fi control options depending on the heater and installation.

RUNNING COSTS

What does infrared heating cost to run?

Understand what affects electricity use and how the running cost of your infrared heating can vary depending on the space, controls and how the system is used.

Infrared heaters with built-in thermostats are not expensive to run. Integrated temperature control prevents overheating and ensures the heater only uses energy when required.

In real UK homes, this often results in:

  • Shorter daily run times
  • Lower overall electricity consumption
  • Comfortable warmth without overheating

Running cost example:
If your electricity costs £0.20 per kWh, a 660W infrared panel with built-in thermostat would cost around 13p per hour when running at full output (0.66 kW × £0.20). Real-world usage is typically lower due to thermostat cycling.

Actual running costs depend on room size, insulation, ceiling height and how the space is used. For a full breakdown, see our guides on infrared heating running costs and compare infrared against traditional heating.

INSTALLATION & AFTERCARE

Installation made clear. Support for the long term.

Find the installation, maintenance and warranty information relevant to this heating range, including what to consider before installation and the support available afterwards.

GETTING SET UP

Installation & maintenance

Depending on the product type, heaters in this range may be wall or ceiling mounted using the supplied mounting brackets. Installation should be carried out in accordance with the specific mounting requirements for the heater and the intended installation location.

These heaters are supplied with a standard UK 13 amp plug for straightforward installation. For a permanent and discreet finish, we recommend hardwiring the heater to the mains via a fused spur.

Infrared heaters with integrated thermostats are intended for fixed installation and are suitable for both domestic and commercial environments where independent room control is required. Professional installation by a qualified electrician is recommended to ensure safe operation and compliance with electrical regulations.

Full installation instructions are supplied with each heater. If you require guidance on mounting position, wiring options or suitability for your space, our team can provide advice based on your installation requirements.

PEACE OF MIND

Warranty & support

All infrared heaters supplied by Infrared Heating Supplies are covered by a 10 year manufacturer’s warranty for added peace of mind. This warranty applies to products installed and used in accordance with the supplied instructions.

The warranty covers manufacturing defects and faults under normal operating conditions. Full warranty terms and coverage details are provided with each product, and our team is available to assist in the unlikely event of a fault.

NEED TO KNOW

Frequently asked questions.

Find answers to common questions about this infrared heating range, from choosing the right option to installation, controls and everyday use.

How does a built-in thermostat infrared panel work?
A built-in thermostat infrared panel works by constantly monitoring the temperature of the room using an integrated sensor and automatically adjusting the heater’s output to maintain the desired level of warmth. When the room temperature drops below the set level, the panel emits infrared heat that directly warms people, walls, and objects in the space. Once the target temperature is reached, the thermostat reduces or switches off the heating output to prevent overheating and unnecessary energy use.
Do I need a separate thermostat?
No. The thermostat is built directly into the panel, so no external thermostat or controller is required.
Are built-in thermostat panels suitable for bedrooms?
Yes. Their silent operation and stable radiant heat output make them well suited for bedrooms and sleeping areas.
Can I leave an infrared panel on 24/7?
Yes, an infrared panel can generally be left on 24/7, especially if it is fitted with a thermostat and safety controls. Most modern infrared panels are designed to maintain a steady temperature by cycling on and off automatically, so they only operate when needed to keep the room comfortable. For best efficiency and cost control, it is recommended to use timers or thermostats to regulate usage and heat rooms only when they are occupied.
Are built-in thermostat infrared panels suitable for rental properties?
Yes. They are popular in rental properties because they are simple to use, self contained and do not rely on Wi-Fi or mobile apps.
Do built-in thermostats reduce running costs?
Yes. Automatic temperature regulation helps reduce unnecessary run time, improving efficiency and lowering overall running costs.
How do I choose the correct wattage?
Use our Wattage Calculator to size the panel correctly based on room size, insulation and how the space is used.
