Top Benefits of installing Ceiling mount infrared heaters

Ceiling panel FAQs

Do 600×600 panels drop into grid ceilings?
Yes - choose grid-compatible models. Use one thermostat per room/zone for best efficiency.
Can I put these in bathrooms?
Yes - pick the correct IP rating and follow bathroom zoning rules. Use a qualified electrician for installation.
Wall or ceiling - which is more efficient?
Both deliver the same radiant heat. Ceiling mount gives the most even coverage and keeps walls clear.
How many panels do I need?
Use the Wattage Calculator. Two smaller panels often give smoother coverage than one larger panel.
How much do they cost to run?
Cost per hour ≈ panel kW × tariff. Example: 0.8 kW × £0.30 ≈ £0.24 per active hour. Smart thermostats reduce average runtime.
What are ceiling-mounted infrared heating panels?
Ceiling-mounted infrared panels are energy-efficient heaters that warm people and objects directly. They’re discreet, blend with the ceiling and provide precise temperature control for homes, offices and commercial buildings. See the differences vs traditional heating.
When should you use ceiling-mounted infrared panels instead of wall-mounted panels?
Choose ceiling panels when wall space is limited, rooms are long/narrow, ceilings are high, or in commercial/grid-ceiling spaces. They integrate neatly and provide very even coverage. Use the Wattage Calculator to size correctly.
When shouldn’t you use ceiling mounted infrared heaters?
  • Low ceilings: Not ideal where mounting height is too close to occupants.
  • Incompatible ceilings: Some drop ceilings can’t take the load without suitable supports.
  • Limited ceiling access: Where wiring or safe fixing isn’t feasible.
  • Design preferences: Where other aesthetics suit better - consider mirrored or glass panels.
How high should an infrared heater be on the ceiling?
As a general guide, mount at roughly 1.8–2.4 m above the floor, adjusted for room size, insulation and usage.
How do you install infrared heating panels on a ceiling?
Panels include brackets for simple fixing. Many come with a UK plug, but we recommend hard-wiring to a thermostat for best control. Use the template to mark holes, fit wall/ceiling plugs and screws, then mount the panel securely. Use a qualified electrician, especially in bathroom zones.

I bought a bar heater from this company 3 years ago . I was given very good advise on what size I needed for the size of my studio and my bar heater not only looks stylish high up on the wall it heats up the space perfectly and economically .My only problem is I can’t always find the remote so I’ve just ordered a spare .

Ordered 2 infra red heating panels from this company and they were delivered very promply (by a decent carrier no less) and in good order. Only fitted the 1200kw heater so far and very impressed with performance and ease of installation (plug in model). Provides good heat and does what it says on the tin.

The engagement, advice and general customer service from this company has been exemplary. They will be my first port of call for any other heating needs.

Extremely friendly service, lots of help and advice plus efficient delivery. 100 percent recommend!

I spend my day in the office at home. The panel is connected to a smart plug and I say 'Alexa, turn panel on for 30 minutes'
Saves a fortune on not needing to heat the whole house to warm one room and the heat is localised and perfect.
I would describe it like sitting by a window with the sun shining through

Couldn’t agree with the other reviews more. Great product and great people. It’s great to get such fantastic customer service. Keep up the good work! 😁

Thank you Tobin for the review

After a lot of research, we decided to swap out our gas central heating for infrared. We bought all of our panels from Mohammed at Infrared Heating Supplies Bolton. We are so happy we went down this route, as they are performing well and are very cheap to run. We particularly like the fact we can control each individual unit in specific zones from our phones which means we can use the panels as and when we need them and set timers which is particularly useful in the mornings when we come down to a warm space. Additionally, they are very low wattage; we have 700 watt heaters in our double bedrooms and 450 watts in the single bedroom. The living room which is approximately 6.6 x 3.5 m is warm enough using only 2 panels (700w and 450w). Thus we have seen a significant saving in our energy bills.

I would highly recommend Infrared Heating Supplies as they are very customer focussed and they provide a very competitive and superior alternative to air source heat pumps.

Thank You Karen for your feedback and custom. Hope you enjoy your heaters

I normally don’t write reviews but needed to make an exception for IHS. I ordered two infrared round mirror heaters and got them shipped to Australia within 1.5 weeks. Altaf organised a quick delivery and answered all my numerous queries, always responding within the next day. Such great service and a great product that obviously I could find in Australia. Well done Altaf and IHS. Highly recommend this company!!

We purchased 3 under desk curved infrared panels fantastic produce and costs very to little to run. All are workers are cosy warm. An excellent service from Mohamed very helpful, nothing was to much trouble he spent a lot of time explaining the product.
We would recommend using this for any office space.

Thank you for the review Linda, this is very helpful! If possible could you take a photo of the curved panel under your desk as it will give people an idea of how it can be used? Thank you so much!

Jordan

Excellent service, Mohamed was so helpful, nothing was to much trouble and he spent so much of his time with us, he advised us on which products we needed.
Thankyou so much we will certainly recommend you to others

I contacted IHS because I wanted a black & a white heating bar. I’d already dipped my toe in the water with a small 600 watt far IR heater & decided although it works in a small space I needed something much bigger for the new extension 2400w.
They explained the white ones are actually not white but a pale cream. But this was preferable to me than black in that room.
The room is open plan & even though I have three radiators it never gets truly warm but the 2400w IR Heater works well as it’s not heating the air it’s heating you & objects such as sofas etc. I’ve positioned it to focus its heat on the area of the sofa, the built in thermostat work well. As of the 8/10/22 my smart meter says roughly £1 an hr but as it reaches temperature within 1/2hr which I think is pretty quick (22dg) it switches off so I can only guestimate the true cost is around 65p an hour
I’ve added it to Smartlife app & I can now turn it on whilst I’m in the studio & set the desired temperature.
I’ll be ordering the black one for the extension. There is no perfect solution but I think these modern far IR heaters have many benefits over radiators and will save money on my heating bill.
IHS we’re on the ball, invited me to their showroom just a bit far from me. I got next day delivery, & they stayed in touch by telephone text & email.
So I can only say I’ve had a good experience we have had friends & family around & the far IR bar is a talking point with friends saying they are looking into them. I’ll be passing on IHS details.

Thank you Marcus for such a great review , the way you have explained the running costs will help a lot newbies who are looking into this type of heating

Thank you once again and stay toastie !

Absolutely brilliant can be custom design with picture very economical to use have one in bedroom heats whole of my flat really well.

Bought a heater from here, great customer service and fast delivery.
Installed on the wall in a cold conservatory with no heating and has made a huge difference. Within 10 minutes the room is already at a comfortable temperature.

Hi Daniel.

Thank you so much for your review far infrared heaters are a great option for cold conservatories

Ordered infrared heaters to help warm the conservatory and home office without needing to put the main house heating on when only one room is use and they are excellent at keeping us warm. The delivery and dispatch from IHS was excellent - I would thoroughly recommend.

Thank you Daniel for your review

Great product and service. The heater does exactly as we’d hoped for the outside office, and looks good mounted on the wall in the corner. Really easy to use and love the fact you can turn it on remotely so the room is warm when you go in! Great product and a very helpful and quick service too. Answered all my questions, explained what I needed, and received it very quickly. I’d go straight back again if/when we need something similar in the future

Thank you for the review

I purchased a wall mounted infrared panel for my conservatory - it has worked very well in keeping the area comfortably warm even during the coldest weather. Glenn Nash

Hi Glenn
Thank you so much for leaving a review much appreciated

I bought this infrared panel heater from this company to heat a small office in my shop. Their website was easy to use and gave useful information to choose the correct wattage for my space. The order arrive quickly. It was easy to attach to the wall and only needed to be plugged into a wall socket. It has been working well and I am very pleased with it. I would order from this company again.

Thank you so much for leaving a review

A big thank you for the wonderful panel. I was able to measure the area needed and select the correct sized panel, and yes it heats well and very little added costs to my electricity bill each month. I will be buying a couple more for other rooms.

Hi Debbie,

Hi Julian,
Thank you for the great review and feedback.

Already bought 2 infrared panels from this company. Both times service was great an all went smoothly. The panels work great and although I was sceptical about its perm once before buying it, after installing it, it works great and I went to buy a second one. Very easy to install and great value for money. Very sleek and thin as well. Thank you

Hi Rui,
you're very welcome and Thank you for the review we really appreciate it.
Have an amazing day
IHS.

‘We find the 350 watt FIR heater ideal when sitting at a desk or in a comfy chair – a gentle heat which keeps you warm in a cold room. You can run it for hours and only use a unit or two of electricity.’

Hi Robyn!

Thank you for taking time out of your day to leave us this super kind review.

Good service excellent product. Works much better than any other type of heater we have (3kw bar heater).

Hi Austin,
Thank you for the review really appreciate it.
IHS

We have a 1900s terraced house with a rear "lean to" designed kitchen
with a chimney and open fire. We have had a variety of coal fires and back burner boilers, some with a gas fire on the front. The chimney was always a problem due to a poor design of the kitchen chimney and its position near the main house roof. Finally we opted for a modern wall mounted gas boiler which vented through the kitchen wall. The options for heating the kitchen itself were an extension to the main radiator system or electric heaters. Like all fitted kitchens floor space was a problem. We decided to try an IR panel mounted on the ceiling and controlled through a simple socket plug-in thermostat with the intention of adding another if successful. It worked perfectly and so far we have not needed another.

Choosing, buying and delivery was painless. No problems at all - thoroughly recommended.

Thank you John for the review really appreciate it.

We now have 5 of the Far IR heaters in a large drafty shop. We have been suprised how much of a diference they have made.

Thank you for the review really appreciate it.

Bought 3 WiFi bar heaters for a shop from Infrared Heating Supplies. They heat the space amazingly and we can control from our phone through an app, so if the staff leave them on we can switch off remotely, saving energy. We can also regulate the temperature. Were so impressed with the service that Infrared Heating supplies that we will purchase more heating panels through them with a second thought.
