No. When correctly sized and controlled with thermostats, infrared wall panels are typically cheaper to run than traditional electric heaters. They heat people and surfaces directly rather than warming air, which reduces wasted energy and allows comfortable temperatures at lower settings.

Running costs depend on panel wattage, insulation, room size and usage patterns. You can estimate costs accurately using our wattage calculator.

Yes. Infrared wall panels are commonly used as a full replacement for radiators in UK homes and commercial buildings. Because they provide radiant warmth rather than convection heat, fewer panels are often needed when systems are correctly designed room by room.

The number of panels required depends on room size, insulation level, ceiling height and usage. In many cases, using two smaller panels provides more even coverage than one larger unit.

Yes. All infrared wall panels are designed with thermal protection and comply with UK safety standards including CE and UKCA certification. Surface temperatures are controlled, and panels contain no moving parts, exposed elements or emissions.

Yes. Infrared heating often performs particularly well in older properties because it warms walls and surfaces directly, helping to reduce damp, condensation and cold spots. Correct sizing is important in less insulated spaces.
