Thanks - nice to see around and consider the layout/ general impact on space etc. As with ALL infrared youtube 'walk-rounds', nobody addresses key questions like: why bother, whats the point? Ethical choices to move away from an oil tank, but does it cost more to run? What are the maintenance requirements? What is the design life of a panel? For me, it needs to be a clear financial and ethical choice to move away from conventional wet systems. Simply walking around and showing some questionable panel locations adjacent to pendant light fittings along with some weird controller locations does more harm than good to the arguement FOR these this stuff. You might as well say "if you have no choice for a wet system you can do this instead", but so long as you have a choice for a wet system there appears to be no overwhelming reason to change to this (i.e money money money).
Just brought a 450w one. Granted it only been on for a few hours but cant say im impressed. Inferred is light and these panals seem to be just heaters.
What type of wall plug do you use to mount these heaters on the ceiling. I have two 600 w panels, which came with nylon plug. Nit sure if they are safe. The panel's weight is 5.2 kg
Very expensive to run. Heat does not permeate around the room so you have to have them on for ALOT longer than other forms of electric heating to receive good ambient temperatures.
'Having to spend 30,000 to 40,000 to upgrade insulation'. WOW! That sounds a stupidly huge number. If true then either don't bother with any heating as it will be a waste of time or demolish and rebuild the property properly. A complete rebuild makes more sense and would be far cheaper in the long term.
for all the installations I've watched so far, they make the lampshades look clumsy. And this video keeps focusing on showing the panel and the thermostat, no data, no tangible info. I can't see why that installation was a good decision. Copied this from @ChrisA's comment: "Simply walking around and showing some questionable panel locations adjacent to pendant light fittings along with some weird controller locations"... this is not a good video for anything.
@@infraredheatingireland a tank IS still required 2 store the hot water the only difference is the delivery accessin the stored water ONLY when somebody IN the room - so where IS the benefit ?
regulating is NOT more efficient > Remember even IF nobody is IN the room heatin the room IS a GOOD thing >things STILL exist IN the room - belongings, plants ... Life of the things IS extended BY the warm environment

There’s no way !! Definitely need to see a long term video to see how is holding up…
Hello. We are installing infrared heat since 2010 and many happy clients
@infraredheatingireland The panels right next to the ceiling down light shade, will that not cause it to burn?
@@GoogleUserGmail infrared panels don’t get hot. Only fairly warm.
What type of wall plug do you use to mount these heaters on the ceiling. I have two 600 w panels, which came with nylon plug. Nit sure if they are safe. The panel's weight is 5.2 kg
How much did this job cost?
Standard room needs at least 900w panel. I have few 900 and couple 1200w panels. Lovely feeling but without solar panels it is expensive to run
How do running cost compare to gas and oil?
Expensive
Very expensive to run. Heat does not permeate around the room so you have to have them on for ALOT longer than other forms of electric heating to receive good ambient temperatures.
Can the infrared panels be mounted on the wall instead of on the ceiling next to a light fixture? Or, is this not recommended?
Yes I have 2 on the wall

@@mbak7801 in this video we refer to an overall improvement of the building energy rating. The cost of this could be high depending on the house

He SAID it himself in the video
> ... The TANK ...
So it uses OLD methods
it IS storing THE water - NOT live and direct
Please explain your point in more detail
