Installing infrared heating panels is a straightforward process, but it requires proper placement and wiring to ensure efficiency and safety. Here’s a step-by-step guide:

1. Choose the Right Location

  • Ceiling or Wall Mounting: Infrared panels work best when mounted on ceilings or high walls for an even heat distribution.
  • Avoid Obstructions: Ensure the panel isn’t blocked by furniture, curtains, or other objects.
  • Coverage Area: Check the panel’s wattage and heating range to ensure it covers the intended space. You can always email us for advice on this. info@eco-friendlyheating.co.uk

2. Prepare for Installation

  • Check the Power Supply: Most infrared panels run on a standard electrical circuit (230V in Europe, 120V in North America).
  • Measure and Mark: Use a level and tape measure to mark drill points for brackets or mounting fixtures.

3. Install Mounting Brackets

  • Secure the brackets to the wall or ceiling using appropriate screws and wall plugs.
  • Ensure the brackets are level and firmly attached to support the panel’s weight.

4. Attach the Panel

  • Slide or screw the infrared panel onto the mounting brackets.
  • Double-check stability before proceeding.

5. Connect to Power

  • Plug-in Models: Simply plug the panel into a standard wall socket.
  • Hardwired Models: Connect the wiring to a fused spur or thermostat (consult an electrician if unsure).
  • Smart Control (Optional): If the panel has a built-in thermostat or smart controller, set it up according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

6. Test and Adjust

  • Turn on the panel and ensure it heats up evenly.
  • Adjust the thermostat settings for optimal efficiency.

7. Final Safety Check

  • Ensure there’s proper ventilation around the panel.
  • Keep flammable materials away.
  • If hardwiring, ensure compliance with local electrical regulations.
