No, you don’t, infrared heating in large commercial spaces targets objects and people directly, rather than heating the air volume. This allows for zoned or spot heating of areas where only occupied or high-use areas are warmed. This greatly improves energy efficiency as you are not heating the whole volume of the space but are focussing on heating and controlling the comfort levels for people below where heaters are mounted.

Yes, spot heating in zones of larger areas, is a major advantage of infrared heating systems. You can strategically place heaters above workstations or desks, minimizing waste by not heating areas you don’t need to and cutting operational costs.

It depends on the system size, type of heaters selected (for example our Vulcan heaters require a 3-phase supply) and the overall number of heaters. 

For small to medium size installations and spot/zone heating of smaller areas, often a single-phase is sufficient. 

However, for larger commercial spaces with high heating demand and where other electrical appliances/machinery is being used: 3-phase may be recommended to spread the electrical load more efficiently across the phases.  Please consult your electrician who will be able to advise.

Absolutely, electric infrared heaters integrate well with Solar PV and battery systems. This combination can significantly reduce your energy bills and carbon footprint, especially if usage is timed with peak solar generation, off peak electricity rates and time of use tariffs.
