Portable infrared heaters provide a flexible way to introduce efficient radiant warmth without permanent installation. Rather than being a separate heater type, these systems use infrared panels combined with dedicated portable stands and wheels, allowing heat to be moved easily between rooms as needed.

This approach is particularly suitable for homes, offices and workspaces where fixed heating is impractical, temporary heating is required, or flexible zoning is important. Portable infrared heaters deliver silent, comfortable warmth by heating people and surfaces directly, rather than circulating hot air around the room.

Compared with conventional portable heaters that rely on airflow, infrared systems offer a calmer and more consistent heating experience. Heat is retained within the room for longer, with no moving fans, reduced air movement and no circulation of dust, making them well suited to living spaces, bedrooms and home offices.

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.

Are portable heaters expensive to run?

Portable infrared heaters are not expensive to run when used for targeted heating. Unlike convection heaters that waste energy heating air, infrared portable heaters deliver immediate radiant warmth exactly where it is needed.

In real UK homes, this often results in:

  • Instant heat with no warm-up time
  • Lower energy waste than fan heaters
  • Flexible, efficient heating

Running cost example:
If your electricity costs £0.20 per kWh, a 700W portable infrared heater would cost around 14p per hour when running at full output (0.7 kW × £0.20).

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.

To size your room accurately and avoid overspending, use our wattage calculator.

Installation & maintenance

Portable infrared heaters are designed for flexible, plug and play use, requiring no permanent installation. They can be positioned within a room and connected to a standard electrical socket, making them a practical solution for temporary heating, supplementary warmth or spaces where fixed installation is not suitable.

For optimal performance, portable infrared heaters should be used in enclosed indoor environments where heat can be absorbed and retained by surrounding surfaces such as walls, floors and furnishings. As infrared heat works by warming people and objects directly, a clear line of sight between the heater and the occupied area is important.

These heaters are not suitable for open outdoor areas or spaces where doors are permanently open, as heat cannot be effectively retained in these environments. They are best used in rooms where airflow can be controlled, allowing the infrared warmth to build and maintain comfortable conditions.

Portable infrared heaters require minimal maintenance and can be moved as needed to suit different spaces. Always ensure the heater is placed on a stable surface and operated in accordance with the supplied safety and usage guidance.

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 portable infrared heaters best used for?
Portable infrared heaters are best suited for temporary or flexible heating in enclosed indoor spaces such as home offices, bedrooms or small living areas. They provide quick, localised warmth without the need for fixed installation.
Can portable infrared heaters be hardwired?
No. Portable infrared heaters are designed to operate using a standard UK plug and must not be hardwired. This allows them to be moved easily between rooms as needed.
Do portable infrared heaters need a thermostat?
Portable infrared heaters include basic built in controls for operation. They are not designed to be connected to external thermostats or smart control systems.
Are portable infrared heaters energy efficient?
Yes. Like all infrared heaters, portable models warm people and surfaces directly rather than heating the air, which helps reduce wasted energy. Efficiency depends on room size, insulation and how long the heater is in use.
Are portable infrared heaters safe?
Yes. Portable infrared heaters are designed with built in safety features such as thermal cut off protection. They should be used on stable surfaces, kept clear of obstructions and operated according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
Can portable infrared heaters be used in bathrooms?
No. Portable infrared heaters are not suitable for bathroom use and should not be operated in wet or humid environments.
What maintenance do portable infrared heaters require?
Very little maintenance is required. Keep the heater clean by occasionally wiping it with a soft, dry cloth when switched off and ensure ventilation areas remain unobstructed.
