To ensure effective heating, it’s important not only to select the right model but also to understand where and how to install it. In this article, we’ll look at the most common installation methods, key planning aspects, and safety requirements.
Planning the Installation
Before installing an infrared heating system, careful planning is essential:
Three installation methods:
Wall-mounted – suitable for homes and offices, especially where targeted heating is needed.
Ceiling-mounted – ideal for achieving even heat distribution throughout the room without affecting interior design.
Floor (infrared heating film) – mostly used in new builds or renovations, where heating elements can be integrated into the floor structure.
Desired temperature: consider the comfort level you want to maintain in the space.
Room size: measure the square footage and ceiling height to determine the required heater power and number of units.
Choosing the Best Locations
Correct placement of infrared heaters is key to efficient heating.
Room layout: take into account furniture placement, partitions, and windows.
Avoid mistakes: never install a wall-mounted heater directly opposite a window – this can cause unnecessary heat loss.
Focus on needs: choose areas where warmth is most needed – living zones, workstations, or relaxation corners.
How Many Heaters Do You Need?
To avoid overheating or insufficient heating, it’s important to calculate the number of heaters required, based on:
room size and ceiling height,
building insulation quality,
chosen heater power.
💡 Expert tip: always round your calculation up – it’s better to have a slight power reserve than not enough heating capacity.
Safety Considerations
When installing infrared heaters, safety must come first:
Minimum clearances: follow the manufacturer’s recommended distances from ceilings, walls, and furniture.
Unobstructed heat flow: avoid placing objects that block the radiation path.
Approved materials: use only the recommended mounting parts and electrical components.
Electrical Requirements
To ensure safe operation:
connect heaters to a properly installed electrical system,
check all electrical connections after installation,
when in doubt, consult a certified electrician.
