Eco Heatwave Infrared Heating

What is Infrared Radiant Heating?

Eco Heatwave uses far-infrared technology - the same natural warmth you feel from sunlight. Unlike conventional heating that warms air (which rises and wastes energy), infrared directly heats objects, walls, and people.

How It Works:

Radiant energy: Infrared panels emit far-infrared waves (same wavelength as human body heat)
Direct absorption: Floors, walls, furniture absorb the energy and gently release warmth
Even temperature: No hot spots or cold corners - uniform comfortable heat
Zonal control: Each panel independently controlled - heat only rooms you use

💡 Did You Know? Infrared heating feels warmer at lower air temperatures. You can maintain comfort at 18°C instead of 21°C with convection heating - saving even more energy.

Eco Heatwave vs Air Source Heat Pumps (ASHP)

Feature	Eco Heatwave IR	Air Source Heat Pump
Installation Cost	✅ £3,000-£6,000	❌ £7,000-£14,000
External Units	✅ None - all internal	❌ Large outdoor compressor
Noise Level	✅ Silent (0 dB)	❌ 40-60 dB (outdoor unit)
Warm-Up Time	✅ 90 seconds - instant	⚠️ 1-3 hours (slow response)
Maintenance	✅ Zero - no moving parts	❌ Annual servicing required
Lifespan	✅ 30+ years	⚠️ 15-20 years
Cold Weather Performance	✅ Full efficiency any temp	❌ Efficiency drops below 0°C
Planning Permission	✅ Not required	⚠️ May be needed (MCS rules)
Zonal Control	✅ Per-panel precision	⚠️ Whole-house or zones only

💰 Total Cost of Ownership: Over 20 years, Eco Heatwave costs 40-50% less than ASHP when factoring installation, maintenance, and replacement.

Real Running Costs

Based on a typical 3-bedroom semi-detached home (90m²) in the UK:

Gas Boiler

£1,200/yr

Traditional heating

ASHP

£800-£1,000

Heat pump efficiency

Eco Heatwave

£600-£800

With smart zoning

Why Eco Heatwave Costs Less:

Zonal heating: Only heat rooms you're using (30-40% savings)
Lower comfortable temperature: Radiant warmth feels warmer at 18°C vs 21°C convection
No heat loss: Direct radiation means no warm air escaping through ceiling
Solar compatible: Pair with solar PV for near-zero running costs
No losses: 99% of electricity converts to useful heat (vs ASHP losses in pipework)

Environmental Benefits

🌱 Zero Carbon Ready

When powered by renewable electricity (solar/wind), Eco Heatwave produces zero operational carbon. Perfect for net-zero homes.

♻️ Solar Compatible

Instant response makes infrared ideal for solar PV pairing. Use free solar energy immediately - no storage needed.

🔄 100% Recyclable

No refrigerant gases, no complex components. Panels are simple aluminum with carbon heating element - fully recyclable.

💧 No Water

Unlike wet heating systems, no water, pipes, or antifreeze. Eliminates leaks and frost damage risk.
