Ditching a Heat Pump for In-Plaster Infrared Heating?!
Is infrared the new rival to the heat pump? We explore "In-Plaster" infrared technology that heats surfaces directly rather than the air. This efficient, space-saving alternative is gaining traction for homeowners looking to optimize their carbon footprint and energy bills.

@hembrow a mastodon miracle! I’m a fellow #Xtracycle rider with an interest in #InfraredHeating. A year on, how are you feeling about your IR panel?

Looking for someone that has first hand experience with 120v #InfraredHeating panels.

I have my TV setup in my basement, which is nice in the summer, but a little chilly in the winter.

Getting a ceiling mounted (400watt? 800watt?) panel and mounting it over the sofa _feels_ like it might be far more efficient than using a space heater to heat up all the air molecules in my basement.

Another DIY project completed. We now have an infrared panel for heating in the bathroom.
There's already a heat pump to provide warmth downstairs for our living areas. IR seems like an ideal way to add a little bit of immediate supplementary heat in the bathroom. A bathroom does not need to be heated all the time, it only needs to feel reasonably warm when you're in there.
Holes drilled, electrics rearranged (slightly dodgy connection made by the previous owner found an eradicated) and it's good to go.
