A very helpful video, thank you. I am about to build a very small workshop in my garden (floor dims approx 3.4m x 2.5m) and I'm considering using a wall-mounted IR radiator. The building will be insulated to current building standards using a warm roof design and insulation in the walls and floor. Roughly speaking, the volume will be 19 to 20 cu m. There are no windows and a set of double uPVC doors. Do you think I should mount the radiator on the end wall opposite the doors for maximum effect? There will be some shelving on the side walls but nothing to block the radiator. I did wonder about a ceiling mounting but thought it might be too close to my head if I was standing underneath it for a while. Cheers!

Thanks for your great comments! Regarding your workshop, I think you would be ok mounting it on the wall. If the room was any longer than 3.4m, then I'd be tempted to either go for two smaller panels or one on the ceiling - speaking of - how well a ceiling mounted panel would depend on how high your ceiling is (and how tall you are!) Either way, I think you'll be fine with a wall mounted heater. Do you have any particular range in mind?

@@suryaheating thanks for your reply. That’s very helpful. Haven’t looked at any specific manufacturers but the WiFi controllable devices would be helpful I think.

No problems! When you're ready to start looking, I think our Nexus Wi-Fi panels could be a good starting point for you, you can find them here: www.suryaheating.co.uk/ir-panel-heaters/control/wi-fi-smart-thermostats.html

If you have the option put it on the ceiling right in the middle

Once a room is up to temperature, what %age of a properly sized panel's output is required to maintain that? Obviously there are too many variables for an accurate figure, but in a well-insulated room in an average UK winter? Say, about 20%-50% or 60%-90%?

@suryaheating 11 ай бұрын

You're right in that there are many variables, but what complicates matters further is that IR panels are either at 0% power or 100% with no in between. With this in mind, it's probably better to think in terms of time rather than power (so using a thermostat becomes really important to maximise the heat output for as low energy usage as possible). If we take an example of heating a room to 20 degrees, and it's set, we usually see that in an hour time period, the panel would need to be on for between 15-30 mins to maintain that heat. In percentages then, we estimate it to be on for between 25-50% of the time. Hope this makes sense, and please do let us know if you have any further questions! :)

I HAVE PURCHASED TWO PANELS 1200 WATTS, AND I MOUNTED IT TO THE CEILING(2,80m.). I'VE TESTED THEM WITHOUT THERMOSTAT(FULL POWER) AND WITH THERMOSTAT, TO SET IT TO 35°(TH 10) and 40°(TH12), EXTERNAL TEMPERATURE: 14°! AND SET IT "ON" ALL NITE LONG, BUT I'M DESPERATE HOUSEHUSBAND, I HAVE FELT A VERY LOW, VERY LIGHT WARMING ACTION!! OH, MY POOR MONEY and an AMOUNT OF WORK/HOURS, TO MOUNT IT AT CEILING, AND TO CHANNELING THE ELCTRIC CABLE TO THE SOCKET! COMPLETE DELUSION!! WITH 1/6 OF MONEY(and 1/100 waste of time) IF I TAKE TWO TRADITIONAL INFRARED DEVICES, I WAS WARMING MY HOUSE 25 TIMES BETTER..... FLORENCE, ITALY.....

I'm sorry, was this an order you placed with ourselves? Or from a different retailer?

@blupampurio5995 9 ай бұрын

No, from a different retailer, but the devices are ok, safe, but the heat they produces is very low for a room of 20m/squared, and living room same surface, i repeat, with and without Thermostat(set at the max temperature possible!) I don't understand, but in the next days, i must to buy(!) some other heating device.... and to think that in Florence, now is'nt cold the night(13°C.!) I don't know how to think wen the real cold will arrive! Many thanks for your answer to me... Franco Pucci. @@suryaheating

@@blupampurio5995 Ah ok, unfortunately we can't really comment on the problems you're having as we don't know the quality of the panels you've bought. The only thing I could recommend is to try them on the walls so that they're a little bit closer to you!

@blupampurio5995 9 ай бұрын

Many thanks for your answer, Surya. I think that the quality of my panels is elevated, because they are from deutch factory VIESTA(5 years guarentee!). Their model is the 1200watts(their higher power) Their instructions documents, says: is possible to mount this panel at ceiling(and mine ceiling is'nt high, 2,80 m. only). i hope that an internal temperature's sensor, warn mine device: "Hey, Viesta! These night is very, very cold! So, reach now your max power!! Cheers from Italy@@suryaheating

These things are a con. They are ruinously expensive to run unless you run them on cheap off peak electricity and then you are screwed when you really want the heat. Heat pumps are far better.

@suryaheating 8 ай бұрын

Well we've got thousands of clients who are getting on great with their panel heaters and have saved money by switching to infrared, but everyone's experiences will vary :) With that said, heat pumps are incredibly efficient. The drawback with them is the higher up front cost, and most people would have to fit larger rads when switching to a heat pump too.

@rogerphelps9939 8 ай бұрын

Money saving with resistive heating is an illusion. The physics is totally against it.@@suryaheating

What did you expect? IR heaters have, most generally, a COP rating of 1 (ie 100%)...because they use electricity. If you didn't do your homework that's not an excuse to have a go at a random YT vid.....you buffoon.
