What I like about Herschel’s infrared heating panels.
- There is no wasted energy
- as soon as you turn them on they start heating the room and as soon as the desired temperature is reached they switch off
- there is no boiler/pumps running all the time, losing heat in pipes with slow reaction times
- each room is always at the desired temperature at the right time
- the greenest kilowatt is one that is not used
- Comfort and improved air quality
- we have not felt cold all winter even when temperatures dropped below -5˚C
- without convection heating constantly circulating hot and cold air there is noticeably less dust
- there has been no condensation or any damp feeling throughout the house, including the basement
- silent, the system makes no noise
“My children suffered from mild asthma and would have very bad coughs every winter. Now this winter they have had coughs but nothing like before. There is definitely less dust in the house. Its noticeable and it feels more comfortable. We’ve had zero condensation in the basement which was damp and cold before we did the renovation”.
- Cost effective and very easy to install
- the complete system, with 18 zones, was 8 times less to purchase and install than a new ground source, underfloor heating system
- there are no ongoing maintenance or service charges
- The advantage of having them ceiling-mounted
- radiators are often blocked; wasting energy… heating curtains or furniture or heat going straight out of a window above a radiator.
- not having radiators provides more space in a room and enabling more layout options
- panels can easily be located exactly where the heat is required.
