On 29 January 2026, the team from Herschel Infrared was proud to showcase their latest heating innovations to representatives across the Welsh Government, local councils and social housing providers in Swansea. The event created a vital space for collaboration between innovators and decision-makers and explored how infrared heating technology can play a transformative role in decarbonising Welsh homes.

The event, hosted by Talan, took place at Dr. Bruce Philip’s cutting edge testing facility in Baglan. Dr. Bruce Philip, Technology Transfer Fellow at Swansea University, shared insights into his pioneering testing work that evaluates infrared heating technologies.  Herschel Infrared is proud to have part-funded the facility that is built in accordance with IEC 60675 test standards for radiant efficiency. The Swansea facility aligns with infrared heating test facilities that are already established in Germany and the Netherlands.

Innovations from Herschel Infrared

Herschel CEO, Paul Morey (above right), and Amy Howells, Business Development Manager for South West and South Wales (above left), attended the Infrared Heating Wales event. The team enjoyed showcasing some of our newest infrared heating innovations to representatives from housing associations and social housing providers across Wales.  Infrared heating provides a versatile, simple to install and control, zero maintenance solution for social landlords and tenants. Infrared heating provides additional benefits of warming surfaces and people directly, rather than heating the air. This helps to reduce condensation, damp and mould, and is just one of the reasons why infrared heating provides the ideal heating system for social housing and housing associations.

Improving Social Housing

The event came at a pivotal moment for Welsh social housing, following the announcement that Wales’s flagship Optimised Retrofit Programme will receive an additional £99 million in funding. This additional funding will unlock further opportunities for social landlords to invest in low carbon improvements for homes across Wales.

Collaboration, innovation and momentum in Wales’s journey towards low carbon, future-ready homes

It was fantastic to showcase the benefits of infrared heating and discuss how infrared provides the ideal solution for social housing. Herschel was also proud to show some of its pioneering new infrared heating developments that will be launching later this year.

With a focus on decarbonising homes and commercial buildings and creating healthier living environments, the Infrared Heating Wales event marked another step forward in our ongoing commitment to shaping better policy and gaining greater support for low carbon heating.

Ever wondered what infrared heating really feels like in a real home? Now you can experience it for yourself – inside the UK’s first ever climate-controlled infrared test facility. Herschel’s Infrared Experience Lounge, a unique space specially designed to test, measure, and demonstrate the capabilities of infrared heating technology.

The Experience Lounge, designed as a home living space, is surrounded by a bespoke environmental chamber engineered to replicate real world heat loss in a similar way to how homes lose heat to the outdoors on cold days. No matter the season, you can feel exactly how infrared warmth behaves in a home setting.

The purpose built space isn’t just for experiencing comfort, it’s also a state-of-the-art research hub. With more than 40 temperature sensors and multiple thermal imaging cameras positioned throughout the room, our team uses the facility to analyse the thermal dynamics of infrared heating, test new product designs, and benchmark performance against conventional heaters. The test facility is built to IEC 60675 radiant efficiency test laboratory standards, allowing us to develop and test the next generation of innovative, efficient, comfortable infrared home heating.

Curious to feel the difference for yourself? Book a visit to our Bristol showroom and step into the Experience Lounge. Sit back, and discover the natural, cosy warmth of infrared.

The Ngorongoro Lodge Meliá, is sited on the rim of the spectacular Ngorongoro Crater, in Tanzania, a World Heritage Site. The hotel offers extraordinary views over the 600-metre deep crater which is home to more than 25,000 animals and 2.5 million years of history. We are delighted that the stunning hotel is heated by Herschel Comfort infrared panels.

The hotel enjoys unbeatable views over the world’s largest volcanic caldera. Keeping sustainability at its core, its philosophy is based on integration with the local ecosystem.  Herschel is thrilled that the hotel chose our infrared heaters as its heating solution including our highly sustainable Comfort panels.

We were privileged to visit the Ngorongoro Lodge Meliá in June 2025 and see the Comfort infrared heating panels installed throughout the hotel bedrooms. In addition, Herschel Summit heaters heat the dining area and Florida heaters provide warmth through the exterior restaurant and terraces.

Feedback from the hotel, a member of The Leading Hotels of the World, on the infrared heaters was fantastic. We are delighted that the infrared heaters align not only with with the hotel’s sustainability objectives but also with their aim to create spacious, serene and comfortable spaces from which to enjoy the breath-taking views. The Comfort infrared panel heaters deliver a discreet, unobtrusive and space-saving comfort heating solution ensuring views from the hotel bedrooms are uninterrupted and floor space is kept to a maximum.

Take a listen to Paul Morey, Herschel Infrared CEO, discussing how the Comfort infrared panels were the first Comfort heaters to be manufactured in, and distributed from, the UK production Facility.

It was our great pleasure to welcome Adrian Fox, Church of England Environment and Sustainability Officer, to our Herschel production facility in Bristol last week to showcase our pioneering Halo heritage heating solutions. Having specified our Halo heaters for a substantial number of parishes within the Church of England, we valued the opportunity to provide Adrian with an insight into our heater manufacturing process and our market leading control solutions. Our skilled and dedicated team showcased all processes involved, from precision design and laser-cutting to welding and meticulous handcraftsmanship that completes the final build.

“I had a very positive and informative afternoon, thank you. I’m impressed with the care and attention applied to the products, but more so the desire to learn and adapt it to meet this niche market’s needs. My visit just reinforced my belief that you have a premium product and are a premium supplier”. – Adrian Fox.

We are delighted to receive such a positive endorsement from Adrian Fox. Our Halo heating products have been specially designed to fit and preserve the heritage heating aesthetic  whilst heating people comfortably, affordably and efficiently. If you would like to discover more about our heating solutions for the heritage market, please visit our heritage website which explains the services we offer and share feedback from a number of churches that have installed Herschel Halo.

A fantastic new Halo case study is available for St Chad’s Church, in Bradford. St Chad’s Church, a Grade II listed building built in 1912-14, had nine Halo heaters installed in 2023.

We are thrilled to share a detailed video which discusses feedback from St Chad’s Church, including the significant savings on energy bills since Halo and the Halos suitability to work within the restrictions imposed by its listed status.

The video includes details of the significant savings in heating costs from Halo over the previous system. Monthly running costs, using January as a comparative both pre and post Halo, are:

January 2021: £1,600 (previous heating system through a mix of gas and electric)

January 2024: £455 (Halo system)

A huge monthly saving of £1,135, equating to approximately £8000 over the full winter season.

The video also showcases the Halo heaters in-situ and how their appearance echoes the circular light fittings from 1915, delivering a solution that is not only sensitive to the history of St Chad’s but also complements its heritage aesthetic.

In addition, hear about the Herschel heritage specification process and how we deliver a sustainable, energy-efficient and effective comfort heating solution for churches.

Thank you to everyone involved at St Chad’s, it is brilliant to share your story, and what has been achieved in switching to a cleaner form of heating.

We hope you enjoy hearing about this installation. Please direct any interest in visiting or contacting St Chad’s Church to Herschel. Our Business Development Manager, Adam, can then help coordinate arrangements at times that work best for the church.

Infrared heating has long been recognised for its health and wellness benefits, traditionally used in baby incubators and saunas. And now infrared heating is gaining increasing momentum in the fitness space; hot yoga is already well-established and continues to grow both in the UK and internationally and the latest trend to hit the fitness scene is….. infrared Pilates.

Thanks to 11:11 Yoga for the photo showcasing Herschel Aspect XL heaters.

Unlike conventional convection heating, infrared heat warms the body directly, penetrating deeper into muscles and tissues. This promotes greater flexibility, improved circulation, and supports recovery post exercise. The far infrared wavelength is especially effective, as it is the wavelength most readily absorbed by the human body, mirroring the natural heat we both emit and absorb. The 8 – 12 micron waveband of the Far Infrared is often referred to as the “Vital” range because of its vital warming properties, of human comfort and biological significance.

Typical temperatures used in heat-based yoga and pilates classes range between 32C up to 40.5C and infrared heaters offer the ideal heating solution to reach these temperatures quickly and consistently. Not only does infrared offer efficiency in the way it delivers these high temperatures, by not wasting energy heating the surrounding air, the enhanced benefits of infrared come from the infrared warming up people directly. By combining infrared heat with the practices of yoga and pilates, muscles are physically warmed allowing for an enhanced  range of movement to maximise the benefits from this ancient practice.

As research into the broader health effects of infrared continues, the rising popularity of infrared-based workouts like hot yoga and infrared pilates speaks for itself. Reported benefits also include improved core strength, muscle pain relief, improved mood and increased metabolism amongst others – with all contributing to both physical and mental wellbeing and supporting overall health from the inside out.

We cannot wait to get to another infrared pilates and hot yoga class!

Our Commercial Director, Matthew Dodds, joined the Herschel Infrared Brazil team for the event. The event’s central theme focused on the challenges of climate change and Team Brazil, led by Cezar, showcased the energy efficiency benefits of our infrared heating solutions whilst discussing the future of decarbonisation with industry experts.

We are very excited with the potential of this development and look forward to sharing the benefits and opportunities of Herschel Infrared with Brazil in terms of a more comfortable, sustainable, and healthier form of heating.

CEO, Paul, and his friends John and Mike, are currently undergoing a 1,000-mile challenge; cycling from John O’ Groats to Land’s End to raise funds for St. Peter’s Hospice.

They are currently six days into their epic and they have already faced some of the most beautiful and brutal parts of the UK. From the dramatic Highlands to the wet lochs, Scotland has given them everything it has — relentless rain, gale force head winds, and punishing climbs, but they are still on track to meet their 12-day target.

Paul shared on LinkedIn:

“This is by far the hardest physical challenge I’ve ever done, but also one of the most memorable. We’ve met so many lovely people along the way, and the support has kept us going even in the toughest moments.”

At Herschel Infrared, we’re proud to be supporting this incredible cause with a much-needed van — their essential support vehicle, providing rest, gear, and backup.

The 1000 Mile Journey

The team set off from John O’ Groats on Saturday 24^th May, and are passing through the following places on their journey:

• Altnaharra
• Inverness
• Fort William
• Glasgow
• Lockerbie
• Windermere
• Haydock
• Ironbridge
• Thornbury
• Crediton
• Fowey

before finishing their journey at Land’s End — with sore legs, full hearts, and hopefully a dry day or two along the way!

The £10,000 Goal for St. Peter’s Hospice

The team have already raised over £5,000, and the aim is to double that — with all donations going directly to St. Peter’s Hospice to support patients and families when they need it most.

Donate to the JustGiving page here if you can – every bit of support is hugely appreciated and will help support the amazing work this charity does.

We wish Paul and his fellow cyclists all the best for the second half of their challenge.

See Paul’s post on LinkedIn here.
