Infrared Heating for all your Energy Saving Needs

Infrared HeatingInfrared Heating Solutions

Our Infrared heating solutions are based on ultra modern infrared technology, suitable for both Commercial and Domestic applications, designed to be wall or ceiling mounted or as a portable free-standing unit.

This unique type of heating minimises the loss of energy as it does not rely on heating the air within the room, but instead, the totally harmless electromagnetic waves, directly heat all types of solid objects, including people.

This in essence means that all objects capable of absorbing these waves will generate heat, which in turn will heat the room in an equal and efficient manner.

 

This heating system does not rely on air convection so there are no cold spots within the room, dust and airborne contaminants are not circulated and there is no variation of humidity.

INNOVATIVE Infrared Heating Technology

Since the creation of the solar system, nature has chosen far infrared as the most efficient method of supplying heat and supporting life on earth.

Far Infrared light is totally different to Ultra Violet Light and is completely safe.

In fact, so attuned are we to its goodness the human body is actually designed to absorb as much far infrared as possible and its benefits have had proven medical use for decades.

Read on to find out more about the benefits and the health and ecological features of infrared heating.

Why Choose INFRARED Heaters

INNOVATIVE + Eco Friendly

They do not use oil or gas, are silent and very efficient in operation.

An enormous advantage you will have with the infrared heater is that it has no moving parts, requires no maintenance and little or no installation.

You just simply hang it on the wall, plug it into the electric socket and it is ready to use.

Some models can also be placed directly on the floor, placed directly on a window ledge and even be made into tables or mirrors.

Very HEALTHY

The infrared heater is especially designed for those of us ailed with Allergies, Asthma, Rheumatism or Chronic Colds. It helps to promote a better circulatory system, strengthen the immune system and can even help speed up the process of healing in certain instances.

This is why more and more Doctors, Massage Therapists and other Medical professions are using Infrared Technology in their daily practices today.

They give you a healthy natural warmth and don’t dry the air therefore they are ideal for any asthma sufferers.

Simple and Reliable

The principal function of the infrared heater is simple and best described as very similar to the warmth provided to us by the Sun.

As the infrared rays are absorbed in the body they warm you up at the same time.

The absorbed warmth is also circulated within the room without adversely affecting the surrounding moisture in air and are not affected by draughts.

Giving a truly exception and cosy feeling of warmth that is difficult to achieve via most other forms of heating systems.

Very Cost Effective to Run

The infrared heater is very energy efficient and also cost effective.

It is also now well known for its exceptional use in large rooms, community halls, riding halls, churches, sports halls and even football stadiums.

But now after extensive research and testing we can now offer a huge selection of infrared heating products for commercial applications as well as for personal household use as well.

They are also maintenance free and very quick and clean to install.

The Far Infrared Principle Explained

How Infrared Panels emit their heat

Infrared Heating

Sketch showing how infrared panels emit their heat

Far Infrared heat is generally felt by humans as more pleasant than warm air heat.

Conventional heating systems (i.e. Central Heating) transfer the heat using the convection cycle, warming up and circulating around the room.

Infrared heating elements emit Far Infrared energy, directly heating both you and all the objects and walls within the room.

Thus a particularly pleasant feeling of heat develops at the same time providing a health-promoting component; Infrared warmth is widely used for medical purposes and is applied for rheumatism or back pain with large success.

We've included the videos below to give you a full perspective of how it all works as well as the exceptional benefits to health...

FAQ's - Frequently Asked Questions and MORE on Health Benefits

Far Infrared Heating Systems are an innovative and exciting form of electrical heating. They operate at a fraction of the cost of traditional heating but offer higher thermal comfort levels. A range of panels have been specifically designed to complement any environment for domestic and commercial/industrial use.

Only electromagnetic waves in the Far Infrared section of the spectrum are emitted. Far Infrared rays are natural light from the sun, minus the skins damaging Ultraviolet rays. They are invisible to the human eye. Far Infrared waves can penetrate, refract, radiate and reflect, they transform light energy into heat energy. Only long-wave Infrared heat is used, helping you live a green and healthy lifestyle.

When referring to Far infrared based products we tend to drop the Far element and simply refer to them simply as Infrared.

The fundamental principle about infrared is that it essentially heats objects/solids and the fabric of your building and “not the air”.

The human eye cannot see these infrared wavelengths and are therefore invisible to us but we know they are there because we can feel the heat emitting from them onto our bodies, plus the fabric of the building can retain heat for longer creating a much better thermal comfort.

Health: Infrared penetrates the human body to a much greater extent to any conventional other mode of heat. Far Infrared has become a widely recognised method of natural health care and is used in physiotherapy as it stimulates blood circulation. Because there is no convecting of the heat there is less dust, pollen and bacteria in the air as opposed to traditional convection heating.

Maintenance and Servicing: There are no moving parts, therefore Infrared heating systems require no maintenance or servicing unlike wet based heating systems, where servicing costs are unavoidable.

They work by turning electricity into infrared energy rays that heat things and surfaces in a room, very different to how convection heaters work, which heat the air rather than things and surfaces, which makes these panels a more efficient way to heat a space.

Infrared heating works by directly heating walls, floors, things located in a room and a human body, instead of heating the air. Then heated objects release their heat into the environment. Infrared heating creates the surroundings where the floor is warmer than the ceiling. Such a method of heating is much more pleasant to a human body than the convectional heating that heats the air and relies on air currents to spread the heat in the room.

In comparison with the conventional heating, the Infrared heating minimises the difference between floor and ceiling temperatures. The Infrared heating acts directly and that means it does not require any contact such as air currents to carry the heat. Therefore, the temperature in the room may be easily maintained and restored if needed. The heat is accumulated by the structure of a building and things in the room and then slowly released back in to the air.

Infrared heating is a great way of heating domestic, industrial, commercial or any other environments, as it does not create air currents that raise dust particles in the heating area. And that is one of many healthy and well-being advantages of Infrared heating.

All our infrared products are certified as safe to use by TUV, CE, ISO, IP65 (safe to use in “wet areas” such as bathrooms and kitchens). This covers all the safety standards required for use in the UK.

This really depends upon your specific needs in terms of what you wish to achieve. Do you need to heat your whole or just part of a room, do you want a designer type panel, an outside terrace heater etc. The size required will also depend on how well insulated your room is and of course the size of the room etc. Whatever your needs our prices start from around £125 and upwards. Our glass range starts from £160 to our dearest design range 900W panel which is circa £500. You really need to know your heating requirements first. If you need any advice the give us a call on 0800 8202025 or complete our Enquiry Form in the Contact Us page on our website. Exact product specifications and prices are available in our eShop at www.eco-world-northeast.co.uk or www.eco-ne.co.uk.

Infrared Panel heaters have a manufacturer’s warranty of 5 to 10 years and have a life expectancy of between 20 to 30 years. Please check out these in our eShop as some products may change.

Ideally they should be installed on the ceiling so that they can basically warm up the floor below and then the heat radiates back up into the room, however they still work as well as when installed on walls. It is usually better placed on the ceiling as walls often have doorways, windows, mirrors and pictures already well positioned - the ceiling has little other than the lights and can be much better concealed up there out of the way, especially if you have false ceilings. Another issue that you should consider with walls is that the Infrared rays will be emitted straight outwards and depending what is opposite to it on the other wall (i.e. potential window or door space) it may not be feasible or practical depending upon your specific arrangements and room layouts.

The way the Infrared is emitted from the panel is different to traditional radiators or electric fan heaters, which are normally situated under your windows or on the floor. These heat forms work by convecting their heat outwards (actually upwards as heat definitely rises!), which is when the air is heated and moves up and around the room - the issue being that much of it disperses out of the window on the way up and if there are any draughts with poor builds or a door opening then that usually results in most of this heat being lost, until you have run the system long enough to heat the whole room.

Infrared panels are therefore an ideal heating solution, especially if you are opting to heat the home using electricity. They can be used in extensions, bathrooms and exposed areas of the house that need additional heating - and better again connected directly in to your Solar Panels if installed.

Infrared panels start to work immediately you switch them on. However it may take several minutes to be able to feel this heat on the skin. They are not designed for instant heat for cold rooms - they are designed to heat a room up to its desired temperature then to hold it at this temperature using the least amount of energy as possible. We do have other Infrared panels called High Output that will product almost immediate heat, however these are designed our industrial and outside use for terraces and the likes. We also have some that can be used in your home that glow red, however our main panels usually take around 20 minutes to warm your room up from start-up.

Yes. Infrared radiation is the reason you feel the warmth from the sun on your face and body even in the midst of winter. The radiation emitted is on the safe end of the electromagnetic spectrum, (next to the red bit of visible light). As units are usually situated on walls or ceilings it is much less dangerous for children than a burning hot radiator in an easy to reach place. It is also important that panels are NOT too close to items directly in-front of them and should never be covered over with clothes/towels etc. As a general guide the spacing should be at least 1m to 1.5m (some high capacity panels need much more free space). Please make sure you always read the manufacturers instructions/handbook as products may vary depending upon their wattages and intended design use.

It is known to be clinically categorised as being completely safe and beneficial to the human body. It assists in keeping the blood clean and oxygenated and as such has been used for many years as a heating source in premature baby incubators in hospitals.

Our products are all certified for the UK use and regarding surface temperatures any brief contact against the heater surface will not cause burning or blistering and all surface temperatures of the panels are between 75 and 115DegF - so they will be relatively hot to touch when fully operational, but they certainly won’t burn you. We do have High Output panels for industrial use, halls, churches, mosques and other places of worship, as well as those for outside terrace use and these do get very hot and cannot be touched when operational - however there are certain installation requirements for these products that require them to be installed outside of normal reach.

No, Infrared light is a natural heat source, it is readily absorbed by the human body and as such it helps to remove bad blood cells and oxygenates the blood as it goes, given the healthy and well-being benefits mentioned earlier.

Yes, providing (1) you follow the manufacturers instructions in terms of ensuring that any stated clearance between the heater panel and objects positioned close by and/or directly in front of them are strictly adhered to; and (2) that you NEVER cover (or hang things directly on to) the heating panel.

Most infrared panels have built-in safety cut-off devices (internal thermostats) that will simply cut out if they do start to overheat - and this will only occur if they have been inadvertently covered with something or the required/stated clearances have not been maintained.

If you treat these similar to normal electric bar heaters then you cannot go wrong. You wouldn't think twice about hanging anything on or near to a glowing red electric bar heater element!

Yes. All models approved for bathroom use are clearly marked as such in our eShop with the IPX4 rating which is the standard for use in bathrooms and wet room environments. They should not be placed directly above baths or showers and you should always speak to a qualified electrician prior to installing them.

Some panels are designed as bathroom dryers for heating or drying washed garments in a bathroom. It is most important that clothes/towels etc., are not placed directly onto the heating surface of these driers. Such panels/appliances are not intended for use by children, or persons who may suffer from mental and/or physical impairment - unless they are adequately supervised in its operation and use. Such panels/appliances are intended only for drying textiles washed in water.

Specific bathroom dryers are very safe and will dry clothes and towels etc., hung on the rungs (not the panels) providing they are allowed to hang freely and not be positioned in such away so as to cover or touch the heater panels in anyway, as mentioned above. And, in addition to being a dryer it is also a bathroom heater as its rays will penetrate through anything hanging on its rungs to the rest of the immediate area surrounding wherever you have positioned it in your bathroom.

You also have the option of using our underfloor products for use in wet areas.

Yes they are quite safe to be used as you would a normal mirror. From a technical perspective Infrared rays are invisible to the human eye and there is no evidence that anyone has ever received eye damage from using Infrared technology either as a heating panel, a sauna or in any medical application.

Depends! If your conservatory is very well insulated then yes, if they have a wall or ceiling to position them at. If not then there are specifically designed infrared products for conservatories which would be much more effective. You again also have the option to utilised our underfloor solutions. If you need any advice the give us a call on 0800 8202025 or complete our Enquiry Form in the Contact Us page on our website.

Mould is usually the direct result of having a wet or damp usually warm environment and because of the way Infrared ray emit from the panels they will reach those areas that conventional heat cannot penetrate to and thus dry out and kill off any mould you may have. In addition because there is no longer any convecting of the original heat source in the air, then any allergens present won’t be circulated around the room - making it more suitable for sufferers of asthma and other respiratory diseases. Ideal for conservatories, extensions and outbuildings that may suffer from damp.

Infrared panels give out much less electromagnetic pollution than a typical 100w light bulb (well under the 50 micro-teslalimited). However, like any heat source Infrared Panels should never been placed directly in front of any equipment as the equipment itself could well become overheated. A safe distance is 1.5m.

No - On the contrary Infrared has the same beneficial properties to all animals.
