Lucy and John, from Grays, are a professional couple who both work from home. Their work mainly involves consultations and sitting at a desk. While working they did not want to heat the rest of the flat.
Challenge:
To provide a more effective heating system to enable them to keep running costs to a minimum, but still be comfortable as they work. This couple desired localised responsive and instantly controllable heating at their workstations, with a heating system that would not cause sleepiness and dehydration as the night storage heaters that were in situ did.
Approach:
Infrared panels, mounted on the ceiling were the ideal solution for them.
Positioned above their works stations and also above the sofa in the lounge area meant they were able to instantly feel the heat of these low-wattage heaters. WiFi control panels mean that they can programme them to turn on according to their work schedules.
The low power consumption of these infrared heaters gives a running cost of approximately 60% of the cost to run other standard heaters, and all are fully controllable on an App.
This is what the homeowners had to say a few months later:
We love the type of heat they generate; it feels a lot like being warmed by the sun, and they don’t dry out the air like other heaters. We also heat rooms more as we need them (so for example our home studies don’t get heated at the weekends which is a bit of a saving).
