Heating home extensions

The most pragmatic solution to heat home extensions

Herschel Infrared heaters make the most practical solution for heating home extensions because unlike central heating they do not require any extension of existing pipework. Also, unlike underfloor heating there is minimal installation required, just simple electrical wiring easily carried out by your electrician. The heaters are so low-profile, you also do not need to sacrifice any of your precious extension space to a cumbersome unit (unlike Storage Heaters and most convection heaters).

With very little prior planning other than their positioning and provision for wiring, Infrared Panel Heaters can be installed very quickly and easily and can be as obtrusive or discreet as you need. Ceiling mounting of white panels is very popular, as used on “Your Home Made Perfect” (see the feature image) or you can chose a picture heater showing your favourite photo or a mirror heater. Because they directly heat the entire room, floors and walls will not get cold – they even prevent tiled floors from getting cold.

The heaters are solid state, with no moving parts and so are maintenance free. You have no risk of leaks and no risk of having to take up floors for repairs in the future.

Heating home extensions – made easy

Infrared heating has the following additional benefits when heating home extensions:

• Controllability: Quite often the extension is an occasionally used room like an additional bedroom or a conservatory. In these cases you do not want your heating running on the schedule of the rest of the house. This is where Herschel’s controls come into their own, since every heater can be individually controlled, placed in an economy mode or even switched off.
• Scalability and portability: Herschel’s solutions are easy to scale with your increasing house size, as you can easily add more heaters.
