Determine Energy Consumption and the Cost to Run Infrared Panel Heaters

The VASNER Infrared Heating Requirement Calculator

Below, you can use our infrared heating requirement calculator to determine the needed wattage and running energy costs for your various rooms. The calculation is based on the power demand and consumption of an infrared heating element as a primary heat source / main heating system. If you would like to use an infrared heating panel as an auxiliary heater, you can assume a significantly lower energy consumption (less than half of the usual amount). The heating calculator, however, always displays the energy consumption and the resulting costs to run an infrared panel heater as your primary heating system.

The calculation does not depend on the infrared heating panel model chosen later. On the basis of the results (watts / energy requirement per room), you will be able to estimate how many infrared panel heaters are needed for cosy warmth throughout your house. When planning infrared heating systems, many combinations are possible in order to meet your demands in terms of design, generated warmth and the total cost to run infrared panel heaters.

The infrared heating requirement calculator estimates the energy consumption and cost to run an infrared panel heater in rooms with a ceiling height of 2,5 m. In order to represent a realistic heat calculation all year round, the Ø is calculated with 180 heating days per year and a daily heating time of Ø 6 hours per day. We refrain from calculations with minimum values and minimum requirements in order to represent realistic infrared heating costs. So that you are guaranteed to be satisfied in the future.

Efficient Temperature Control via Programmable Thermostat

Reduce the Cost to Run Infrared Panel Heaters

Infrared heating panels are usually controlled via a room thermostat. Thanks to their electric operation, a variety of thermostat systems are compatible with your panel heater. The most common electric thermostats are either simple socket thermostats or radio thermostat sets. When using a socket thermostat, it is very easy to install and operate the control system within minutes. Thus the thermostat can be used flexibly wherever you need it. The control of socket thermostats ranges from simple, manual settings to extensive, customised programming. One plug-in thermostat is required for each infrared panel heater. When choosing a radio thermostat set, you can opt for a flexible socket receiver or a flush-mounted receiver for a discreet installation in the wall without visible cables. Either way, each digital thermostat transmitter controls all the receivers / infrared panel heaters in a room using the same programming. Together, we will find the right solution for you to ideally control the infrared radiators in all your rooms. That way, you will succeed in minimizing the energy consumption and the cost to run infrared panel heaters in your home.

Contact us or one of our specialised partners to find out which control system is best suited for your project.

Required Size and Output of Infrared Heating Panels

The most common question we receive is: Will I have higher electricity costs if I use a more powerful infrared panel heater? The answer is: No. On the contrary, an electric heater with insufficient heat output that has been calculated too tightly is even less efficient. The advantages of larger radiant panels with a higher performance are quite evident: 1. Even in cold winter periods you always have enough heating power to create a cosy temperature as needed. 2. You can achieve the desired target temperature much faster with a higher power output. 3. The infrared heating panel switches off much more quickly when the chosen temperature is reached. Each heating cycle is completed faster and the target temperature is maintained more precisely. 4. The panel heater does not “slog away” continuously in order to reach + maintain the chosen temperature. Therefore, the total power consumption is minimized. 5. The costs to run an infrared panel heater are identical, because despite the higher wattage, the heating panel is switched off sooner. As a result, the energy consumption in the room remains the same.

We look forward to filling you in on the advantages of infrared heating and the factors you should consider for your individual project.

This is due to the fact that there are numerous infrared heater designs and series, which may vary in terms of different details. It is also important to determine the correct number and distribution of infrared panel heaters throughout your room in order to achieve even warmth. During an extensive technical consultation we will point out all the options, possibilities and relevant factors to take into consideration. Simply tell us what is important to you so that we can put together an offer including an overview of the required budget and the cost to run your infrared panel heaters. Please note that in addition to the purchase costs, the expense for a thermostat control system must also be taken into account.

Together we will find the optimal solution for you.

The Combination of Photovoltaics & Infrared Panel Heaters

Thanks to the use of your own electricity, the acquisition costs of the two systems can be amortised much more quickly. Furthermore, by investing in renewable energies, you can take advantage of attractive government subsidies. The trend towards self-sufficient homes in terms of energy is clearly visible and will continue to gain momentum. This includes the push for electric vehicles, which will also have to be charged in private households. Create a coherent overall concept for your home in which, for example, your future infrared heating system can be perfectly integrated. Especially in conjunction with a photovoltaic system, infrared panel heaters are an attractive key component of a sustainable and self-sufficient home.

We will give you sound advice to ensure that you are properly equipped for the future.
