ECOSUN K+ Infrared Desk & Pew Heating Panel
Targeted infrared heating for seated areas in churches, offices and public buildings.
The ECOSUN K+ Infrared Heating Panel is a highly efficient, localised heating solution designed to provide direct warmth to people in seated positions. Installed beneath desks, benches or church pews, it delivers immediate comfort without the need to heat the entire room.
This makes it an ideal choice for large, high-ceiling or intermittently used spaces where traditional heating systems are often inefficient, slow to respond and expensive to run.
Key Features
- Targeted infrared heating – warms people directly, not the surrounding air
- Ideal for seated environments – desks, pews, classrooms and meeting spaces
- Instant heat response – no long warm-up times required
- Independent operation – heat only occupied areas to reduce costs
- Silent operation – no fans, no noise, no disruption
- Discreet installation – mounted beneath desks or pews, out of sight
- Low running costs – avoids heating unused space
- Durable finish – hard-wearing surface suitable for public environments
Where This Heater Works Best
- Churches & chapels – pew heating for congregations
- Offices & workstations – under-desk comfort heating
- Classrooms & lecture halls – efficient heating for seated groups
- Meeting rooms – heat only when in use
- Public buildings – cost-effective heating for large spaces

Why Use Zoned Infrared Heating?
Traditional heating systems attempt to warm the entire air volume of a room, which is inefficient in large or poorly insulated spaces. The ECOSUN K+ instead delivers heat exactly where it is needed, providing comfort while dramatically reducing energy waste.
This approach allows systems to be switched on just before use, avoiding unnecessary heating time and helping to lower running costs.
For a deeper understanding of this approach, see our Infrared Heating Guide, Carbon Neutral Heating Guide and Commercial Infrared Heaters Buyer’s Guide.
Design & Installation
The ECOSUN K+ is designed to be subtly integrated into existing furniture. It is typically mounted:
- Beneath desks or workstations
- On the front panel of church pews
- Under benches or seating areas
The standard finish is a dark brown tone to blend with traditional wooden pews and furniture. A white finish may be available by special order.
Each panel can be controlled independently, allowing precise zoning and maximum efficiency.
For smart zoning and control options, see our Commercial Heating Thermostats Guide.
Efficiency & Running Costs
Because the ECOSUN K+ heats people directly rather than the entire space, it can significantly reduce energy consumption compared to traditional heating systems, particularly in:
- Large-volume buildings
- Intermittently used spaces
- Areas with high ceilings
To estimate the correct setup for your space, use our Heat Loss Calculator and review our Commercial Infrared Heating Running Costs Guide.
FAQ's
What is the ECOSUN K+ heating panel?
It is a compact infrared heater designed to provide localised warmth beneath desks, benches or pews, heating people directly rather than the whole room.
Why is this ideal for churches?
Churches are often large, high-ceiling spaces that are expensive to heat. The ECOSUN K+ provides direct warmth to seated occupants without needing to heat the full building volume.
Is it suitable for office use?
Yes. It works very effectively as under-desk heating, allowing staff to stay comfortable without heating the entire office space.
How quickly does it heat up?
Infrared heating provides almost instant warmth, so it can be switched on shortly before use.
Does it make noise or move air?
No. It operates silently and does not circulate air, helping maintain a calm and comfortable environment.
Can it reduce heating costs?
Yes. By heating only occupied areas rather than the whole room, it can significantly reduce energy consumption and running costs.
Can I control each panel separately?
Yes. Each unit can be operated independently, allowing precise zoning and flexible heating control.
Is it visible once installed?
No. It is designed to be discreet and is typically hidden beneath desks or pews.
