This infrared heating wattage calculator provides a general guideline based on typical room dimensions, insulation levels and building characteristics.
For complex layouts, higher temperature requirements, glass-heavy rooms or listed and commercial buildings, our team can provide a tailored infrared heating plan.
If you need further guidance, you can contact our technical team for advice specific to your space.
The calculator provides a reliable estimate based on room dimensions, ceiling height and usage type. It is designed to give an accurate starting point for system sizing. Final specifications may vary depending on insulation levels, building construction and heat loss characteristics.
Yes. Unlike basic calculators that only consider floor area, this tool factors in ceiling height by calculating room volume. This is particularly important for spaces with high ceilings where heating demand is higher.
Infrared heating performance depends on the volume of the space rather than just floor area. Using watts per cubic metre ensures the calculated output reflects how infrared heat interacts with people and surfaces within the room.
It is recommended that the installed infrared heating output meets or slightly exceeds the calculated requirement. This ensures consistent comfort, faster warm-up times and avoids running heaters at maximum output continuously.
Yes. The calculator is suitable for residential, commercial, industrial and specialist environments. Selecting the correct space type adjusts the calculation to reflect real-world usage and heating demand.
