Infrared Heating Panels with Built-In Thermostat

Infrared heating panels with a built-in thermostat provide a streamlined, all-in-one heating solution for homes and commercial spaces. By combining efficient far infrared heating with integrated temperature control, these panels remove the need for separate thermostats, additional wiring, or external controls.

Once installed, the heater automatically maintains your chosen room temperature by cycling on and off as required. This ensures consistent comfort while avoiding wasted energy, making built-in thermostat panels ideal for bedrooms, rental properties, offices, and single-room heating applications.

Why choose infrared panels with a built-in thermostat?

Built-in thermostat infrared panels are designed for customers who want efficient heating without complexity. The thermostat is integrated directly into the heater, monitoring room temperature and regulating heat output automatically.

  • All-in-one heating solution – no external thermostat required
  • Simpler installation – fewer components and reduced wiring
  • Automatic temperature control – prevents overheating and energy waste
  • Silent, low-maintenance operation – no fans or moving parts
  • Perfect for rentals and single rooms – easy to use, no apps needed

Built-in thermostat infrared panel FAQs

How does a built-in thermostat infrared panel work?

The thermostat continuously measures room temperature and automatically switches the panel on or off to maintain your selected setting, preventing overheating and wasted energy.

Do I need a separate thermostat?

No. The thermostat is built directly into the panel, so no external controller is required.

Are these panels suitable for bedrooms?

Yes. Their silent operation and stable heat output make them ideal for bedrooms and sleeping areas.

Are built-in thermostat panels suitable for rental properties?

Yes. They are popular in rental properties because they are simple to operate and do not rely on apps or Wi-Fi.

Do built-in thermostats reduce running costs?

Yes. Automatic temperature regulation reduces unnecessary run time and improves overall efficiency.

How do I choose the correct wattage?

Use our wattage calculator to size the panel correctly based on room size, insulation, and usage.

Are built in thermostat expensive to run?

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.
