Ceiling Mounted Infrared Heaters

Ceiling mounted infrared heaters provide an efficient and discreet way to heat residential and commercial spaces from above. Designed to fix directly to the ceiling or integrate into standard 600 x 600 grid ceiling systems, these slim infrared panels deliver even radiant warmth without occupying wall or floor space. They are particularly well suited to kitchens, offices, corridors, bathrooms and modern interiors where a clean, uncluttered finish is essential.

Unlike traditional heating systems that rely on circulating warm air, infrared ceiling panels heat people and surfaces directly. This creates a more comfortable and balanced indoor environment, reduces cold spots, and helps maintain consistent warmth throughout the room. Their silent operation and minimalist design make them an attractive option for both new installations and retrofit projects.

Ceiling infrared heaters are commonly chosen where wall mounted heating is impractical, or where visual impact needs to be kept to a minimum. When correctly sized, they offer reliable performance, low maintenance requirements, and long operational lifespans. For a deeper understanding of how the technology works, see the infrared heating guide.

If you are exploring different infrared heating formats, you may also wish to compare ceiling panels with wall mounted infrared panels or infrared bar heaters. For detailed guidance, sizing advice and installation considerations, the resources below provide further insight.

Suitable applications

Infrared heating is suitable for both domestic and commercial spaces, particularly in environments where traditional heating systems are inefficient or costly to run. By heating people and surfaces directly rather than warming the surrounding air, infrared provides a more targeted and energy efficient way to heat a space.

This approach makes infrared heating especially effective in rooms with high ceilings, open layouts or intermittent use, while remaining adaptable to different room sizes and usage requirements. With discreet designs and advanced control options, infrared heating integrates easily into both modern interiors and demanding commercial environments.

Control infrared heaters with a smart thermostat

Control your heating with smart thermostats

Ceiling mounted infrared heaters offer flexible temperature control depending on the model. Some heaters include a built in thermostat with remote control, allowing simple, self contained operation without the need for additional components.

Models without a built in thermostat can be paired with an external thermostat to enable scheduling, timer functions and app or wall mounted control. Our smart thermostat is ideal where multiple ceiling heaters need to be controlled together.

Built in thermostat models suit straightforward installations, while external thermostats are better suited to larger spaces where grouped control and greater flexibility are required.

Built in vs external thermostats – what’s the right option?

Are ceiling mount infrared heaters expensive to run?

Ceiling mounted infrared heaters are not expensive to run when correctly sized and controlled. By distributing radiant heat evenly from above, rooms feel warm without overheating or wasted energy. In real UK homes and offices, this often results in:

  • Even heat distribution
  • Lower electricity consumption
  • Improved comfort without cold spots

Running cost example:
If your electricity costs £0.20 per kWh, a 400W ceiling infrared heater would cost around 8p per hour when running at full output (0.4 kW × £0.20).

For a full breakdown, see our guide on infrared heating running costs and compare infrared against traditional heating.

Use our wattage calculator to size your room accurately.

Installation & maintenance

Ceiling mounted infrared panels are designed for discreet overhead installation, making them ideal for spaces where wall mounting is not practical. Panels are supplied with dedicated fixing brackets and can be installed directly onto a solid ceiling or integrated into compatible 600 × 600 suspended grid ceiling systems, depending on the product type and size.

These panels are supplied with a standard UK 13 amp plug for straightforward installation. For a cleaner finish and improved control, we highly recommend they be hardwired to the mains via a fused spur. Installation should always be carried out by a qualified electrician, particularly in bathrooms or other regulated zones where electrical safety requirements must be followed.

Full installation instructions are supplied with each panel. If you require guidance on ceiling suitability, grid compatibility, wiring options or control selection, our team can advise based on your space and installation requirements.

Warranty & peace of mind

All infrared heaters supplied by Infrared Heating Supplies are covered by a 5 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.

Frequently asked questions

What are ceiling mounted infrared heating panels?
Ceiling mounted infrared panels are energy efficient heaters that warm people and objects directly rather than heating the air. They provide even heat distribution, are discreet in appearance and are commonly used in homes, offices and commercial buildings.
Do 600×600 infrared panels drop into grid ceilings?
Yes. Grid compatible 600×600 infrared panels are designed to drop directly into suspended ceiling systems. For best efficiency, we recommend using one thermostat per room or heating zone.
Where are ceiling mounted infrared heaters best used?
Ceiling mounted infrared heaters are ideal where wall space is limited, rooms are long or narrow, ceilings are higher than average, or in commercial and grid ceiling environments. They provide very even coverage across the space.
Can ceiling mounted infrared panels be installed in bathrooms?
Yes, provided the correct IP rating is selected and bathroom zoning regulations are followed. Installation in bathrooms should always be carried out by a qualified electrician.
Is wall or ceiling mounting more efficient?
Both wall and ceiling mounted infrared panels deliver the same radiant heat output. Ceiling mounting provides the most even coverage and keeps walls clear, while wall mounting may suit smaller or more targeted spaces.
How many ceiling infrared panels do I need?
The number of panels required depends on room size, insulation and ceiling height. Use our Wattage Calculator to size your system correctly. In many cases, two smaller panels provide smoother coverage than one larger panel.
How much do ceiling mounted infrared panels cost to run?
Running cost is calculated as panel power (kW) multiplied by your electricity tariff. For example, a 0.8 kW panel at £0.30 per kWh costs approximately £0.24 per hour when active. Smart thermostats help reduce overall runtime and energy use.
How high should ceiling mounted infrared heaters be installed?
As a general guide, ceiling mounted infrared heaters are installed around 1.8 to 2.4 metres above floor level. Final height should be adjusted based on room size, insulation and how the space is used.
When shouldn’t you use ceiling mounted infrared heaters?
Ceiling mounted infrared heaters may not be suitable where ceiling height is too low, the ceiling structure cannot support the heater, or safe fixing and wiring are not possible. In these cases, consider alternative options such as mirror panels or glass panels.
