Testimonial - Heritage Infrared Heating – Lodge & Barn Conversion
Heating traditional and listed buildings presents a unique challenge. Thick stone walls, high ceilings and architectural restrictions often make conventional heating systems inefficient, visually intrusive or unsuitable altogether.
For this lodge and listed barn conversion, the client required a heating solution that delivered reliable comfort, respected the character of the building, and offered modern control without invasive installation.
Infrared Heating Supplies specified Heritage Infrared Heaters to provide discreet, high-performance heating that complemented the building’s historic aesthetic while meeting modern expectations for efficiency and control.
“We are thrilled with the heaters we bought. They were very straightforward to assemble and install, and the control system works extremely well. We especially like the WiFi compatibility, which allows us to preheat the room before it is needed.”
“When the heaters are turned on, the warmth can be felt immediately. Once the room reaches temperature, the thermostat control manages the system efficiently.”
“The heaters, combined with the lighting, create a wonderful atmosphere and look very smart indeed. We have received many positive comments from our customers.”
Project Overview
The property required a heating system that could operate efficiently within a traditional structure while remaining visually sympathetic to its heritage status. Retrofitting conventional heating would have required disruptive pipework and bulky emitters, compromising both aesthetics and usability.
Heritage Infrared Heaters were selected for their ability to deliver direct radiant warmth without relying on air circulation. This approach is particularly effective in older buildings, where heat loss through drafts and high ceilings is common.
The system was designed to provide immediate comfort when required, while maintaining consistent background warmth during occupied periods.
The Infrared Heating Solution
The installation utilised Heritage Infrared Heaters paired with an advanced smart control system. WiFi connectivity allowed the client to preheat spaces ahead of use, ensuring guests arrived to a warm and welcoming environment without unnecessary energy use.
Once target temperatures were reached, the thermostat system regulated output efficiently, maintaining comfort while minimising running costs. The heaters’ fast response time meant warmth was felt almost instantly - a key benefit for intermittent-use spaces such as lodges and event rooms.
The heaters were integrated alongside lighting to enhance the overall atmosphere of the space, delivering both functional heating and a refined visual finish suitable for customer-facing environments.
Key Benefits
- Immediate radiant warmth on demand
- WiFi-enabled smart control for preheating and scheduling
- Minimal visual impact in heritage interiors
- Efficient temperature management once set
- Positive guest feedback and improved ambience
This project demonstrates how Heritage Infrared Heating can provide a future-proof heating solution for listed buildings, lodges and barn conversions - combining performance, control and aesthetic sensitivity in one system.
