Core Electrical Services Ltd
We are an electrical contractor specializing in motorcycle showroom installations. One of our recent installs included a requirement to fit out the workshops. Ordinarily these would be heated using a large gas heater such as a combat heater or similar but due to the lower ceiling height at this site an alternative had to be considered. Part of the problem with a garage is that the roller shutter door is often open to allow the bikes to be wheeled in and out, which means trying to keep the air temperature constant is quite difficult. After looking into the options available we decided to install Far “LUX” 800W infra red heating panels, ceiling hung on the chain suspension kit that comes with them. The heaters where positioned in between the bike ramps, above the work benches to optimize coverage where the mechanics would be most of the time. These heaters proved to be the ideal solution, giving great coverage and the feeling of standing in invisible sunshine. They look good too, blending in with the lighting scheme and have the added obvious benefit of being completely silent. We have a similar installation to do later this year and will definitely be using these heaters again.

I recently purchased 4 x Commercial PRO Glow space heaters with 1 x room thermostat 701 and 3x radio frequency room thermostats.
We have never been exposed to infrared heating before so wasn’t quite sure what to expect but I was more than pleasantly surprised.
As you can see from the attached pictures we have used three positioned directly over our work stations and the fourth heating up our newly built office. We used qualified electricians to install the heaters and they have been put on their own RCD’s within the fuse box. Although we had initial trouble “pairing” the thermostats we were sent a “youtube” clip explaining how to do this and within seconds it became very obvious what we were doing wrong and it worked straight away. Our ceiling is 3500mm in height and we were advised to have them hanging 900mm from the ceiling our electrician wanted to install at 300mm we compromised at 600mm with the option to shorten or lengthen but having used them daily now for two months we are really happy at 600mm. I feel qualified in writing about our experience because we used these heaters extensively when the weather was minus 8 degrees outside and I have not heard one complaint about it being too cold, not one! Personally, I have to take my jacket and jumper off to remain comfortable when I work under them. I would describe the heat that these heaters provide as a subtle heat as opposed to a direct fan like heat and having the room thermostats set keeps the whole place nicely warmed in the most economical way, we really couldn’t be happier.

Mecoco - Social Enterprise
Mecoco is a social enterprise making candles, and working with disabled adults and young people in a manufacturing environment. As many of our colleagues are wheelchair users and sitting still for prolonged periods, keeping warm was a priority for us when we were planning how to heat our new workshop. Being a non-profit organisation cost was important. Working with some people who are noise sensitive meant that noisy heaters were also not an option.
Then we came across IR heaters, and more importantly the Infrared Heater Company.
It is one thing to find a solution that sounds like it fits the bill. It is another thing to then be able to communicate quickly, reliably and professionally with someone about our needs. The company have been a pleasure to deal with and we are so pleased with the heaters. They were easy to install and, as we now also have them on remote sockets, we can turn them on first thing in the morning and the workshop is toasty warm for when we arrive for work.

Smalley Sparkenhoe Display Ltd
We are a display manufacturing company in Leicestershire, over the past few years we have struggled to heat out Spray shop as all the heat is dragged out by the air filters. We heard about a new technology of infrared heaters that heat the object not the air. After trawling the internet, we came across The Infrared Heater Company, I rang for advice and Dale explained fully how the system could work for us, which heaters we would require for the area and how many. When we received the heaters I again contacted the company for advice with installation. I cannot fault the customer service from start to finish, the heaters are working perfectly for our business, they are relatively inexpensive to buy and run. We are now considering heating the rest of our factory with this technology and will definitely come back to The Infrared Heater Company for their services.

Barbour & Sons Ltd
We are a clothing manufacturer and supplier so business is quite varied from factory’s to offices. warehouses and stores The attached pictures show one of the dispatch offices which is located in our main warehouse. This is manned by desk based staff who found the warehouse temperature too low as the don’t move around. The issue we had was the ceiling was very high and if we fitted conventional heating most of the heat would be lost in the void above unless a suspended ceiling was fitted.
We fitted 1 x 4000k heater which is the largest you that you supply. The staff were very sceptical of the infrared heater however once it was fitted it transformed the working temperature in the room and the staff were very happy indeed. The heater was a great price for the size of the room and also saved money on a suspended ceiling, this was an excellent answer to our heating problems. Our second install was in a completely different environment (unfortunately I cannot supply pictures as we are currently on lock down) This install solved a completely different type of issue. The problem I had was that the area is shared by two different departments. One set of staff work over a heated table all day so the always find the area too hot. The other staff work on inspection and input and always found the area too cold. I had fitted 2 x 2000k heaters above the inspection staff which allowed us to keep the main at quite a low temperature. This product was perfect and stopped all complaints from both sets of staff. I would highly recommend these products, they heat the person rather than the area and they save a lot of energy compared to conventional heaters.
Leeds wood Recycling
Leeds wood recycling is a social enterprise which diverts wood waste from landfill, giving long term unemployed people opportunities to access free training and volunteer opportunities. We have been running for one year and it’s been very cold! Being a start-up we didn’t have enough money in our first year to buy any heating. Our premises is a large warehouse with zero insulation, and a lot of timber around, so were initially unsure what the safest and most cost-effective way to heat the space was. Dale at The Infra red heater company was super friendly on the phone and advised us to use the Ceiling Mounted Panel Heaters, it’s something I hadn’t really heard of before but is a product that matches our needs exactly. The service was great, with speedy delivery and our retail and workshop team are so happy with the results. You’ll notice that our volunteer is even wearing a t shirt in the photo. In November! The heaters are safe, warm and cost-effective. We thoroughly recommend them!
Community Space in Edinburgh
I set up a coworking and community space in an old warehouse near the sea in Edinburgh. After trying radiators and electric heaters, I needed a solution for our members sitting at desks and participating in mat classes. The infrared heaters have been a great solution for both our coworking space and our workshop space. They are super effective and easy to install and operate.

Heaters for Workshop
I first came across the heating panels when I visited my archives friend for New Year earlier this year. He had just competed a brick and glass conservatory and I was amazed that it was heated entirely by two clear 600W infrared panels connected to a timed thermostat supplied by your company. So impressed, upon my return home I ordered 4 of the 400w opaque heaters for my workshop where I am renovating my classic jeep. I sized the workshop using your table which worked out perfectly and attached then to the ceiling timbers as per the attached picture. I set the thermostat to 18deg C which was maintained throughout Jan Feb without any problem. Since then I have installed 3 of the clear 600w heaters in my holiday chalet, two on the living area and one in the bedroom. The place is now so cosy with a wonderful feel and the saving in propane will easily pay for the units. Unfortunately I don’t have any picture and can’t return there for a while. Finally I would add that the fitting of the units and thermostat is very well explained in the attached literature and straight forward for any diy person and the running cost is minimal compared to other conventional type heaters. I am very pleased and impressed with the technology and so glad I came across them.
Thanks Dale for your assistance.
Best regards
Peter Gregory.
