This is just what I was looking for to go in a cold kitchen so have ordered one from Amazon. Thanks for the video.
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
Great video, I came about this video first and did further research and today received mine. Just about to mount mine to the wall, a tad uncomfy regarding the mounting and reliance on the fixings on the drywall in the conservatory tho but fingers crossed it stays put! The conservatory currently before putting on is insanely cold and we have issues with condensation. Looking forward to programming this to hit up to comfy temperatures when we need the conservatory at tea times and also to keep the room at a steady temp that keeps condensation away.
its a fantastic heater, very pleased with the results, Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
@@aaanton11 yes it is! I’m just trying to research into the best timing profiles to set to keep the conservatory at a steady temp that keeps condensation at bay during the late/early hours and then for it to crank up when we use it for breakfast.
@stevetaylor9899 open or install trickle vents, that you can open n close... This will help also.
I lock my 3rd floor window open (My ladder isn't long enough to fit some vents)
I leave the curtains open, for an hour or so, with my 700w F- Infrared panel heater on, thrn draw them and leave a gap in the curtains.
Run my panel at 10° above the current dew point outside & this has worked brilliantly.
Insulated are conservatory roof many years ago massive difference, well worth doing great video as always 👌👍
Yes definitely, its a job on the list one for next year maybe, Thanks Norm for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
I used battens & double bubble, double sided foil insulation, stapled on, with an extra layer of foil with a white backing on (Like but softer than polystyrene you get in packaging 🤷♂️)
Then batten over all that & plasterboard like you say... It is fantastic!!
So much so, my Mum & Dad did the same, as well as mounting a far infrared heater panel (white board style) on the ceiling!
Boom cozy!
Thanks for the great information👍🏻👍🏻🛠
I got one of those panels after watching your video. They are great for heating my living room and do not look ugly.
Hopefully this will work as well as the panels, Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
Is it cheaper than 2kw fan heater? If yeah, do you know by how much?
Nice video, really well put together. Your smart plug says you used 11.9 KWH. Isn't that about £4.50 (at 38p a unit)? Still cheaper than the 2KW model, and I'm sure the radiant heat makes the room feel much warmer. I might get one for the garage
The heater doesn't pull that much power, once set at 20 degrees on 600w it is far more efficient, It would be great in the garage, Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
@@aaanton11 Good video, but you are wrong about the running cost I am afraid. Your plug said about 11.9KWH, which is the amount of energy (read money), not KW which is the power (read how far your are burning money), which is inline with you saying you setting it to 600W. If you set the heater to 600W, over 24 hours indeed it will burn about 10-14 KWH, which will cost you about £5-£7 at the electricity rate of £0.50/KWH.
@@bingebinge3722 600W at a max of 8 hours a day, (and I would suggest that it's going to be at least half that as it will turn itself on and off), would be 4.8kwh I pay 20pence per kwh so the total cost 96p for 8 hours is cheap ! if it's on half that such as my garage then 48p per day. A full 24 hours would be £5.76 for me
@bingebinge3722 Don't forget, that the thermostat will switch it off n on, over the set time... So, it won't be drawing the power, for the full time it is set to be on 👍👍
Obviously, if you times 1.2 or 0.6 × the cost per Kwh you pay, then you will get an hourly cost, then times it by the amount of hours you have it on for, then that would obviously be more, as it will give you the price at maximum per hour!
👍👍
Generally speaking you use these type of heaters whilst in the room. You don't leave them on 24 hours a day to maintain a temperature. They are great for that sort of job where you want to feel comfortable in an area. Excellent for heating poorly insulated spaces
Hi, I’d like to know if placing one of these heaters close to the ceiling would be a issue for the plastic cladding. As this is a low ceiling and we had to use a flexible material it’s actually black hollow shower board.
I don't see a issue as it will be angled downwards, Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
The thing with an infrared heater is if your room needs x amount of BTUs then a 1 Kw, 2 Kw heater is a 1 Kw and a 2 Kw heater, it doesn't matter whether it's from an infrared heater or an old oil filled radiator or a fan heater.
Thanks for the great information👍🏻👍🏻🛠
Hi, I wondered, if you had two of these running how does the app on your phone work to run them independently? Thanks
It would show 2 separate heaters, you can rename them too, Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
What is the heat behind it & what are the recommended clearances from the ceiling & anything below it? Is it still working well? I've ordered one, for my living room, as the Boss aka the Mrs, prefers these to the larger, white wipe board style versions!
It is still working well, I prefer the white board heater panels in the house, check out my videos on those, far infrared heater panel Thanks for the great information👍🏻👍🏻🛠
@aaanton11 Already watched them mate, the garage for your lovely Yorkie, with your old stinky top in her bed haha & the loft conversion fit, at the end...
I currently have a 700w White board style one, in the guest room, running on the app & Alexa. One 420w Roller blind style one, next to the bed that the the Mrs likes, that's transparent, but you can get it with pictures on.
I bought a thermostat plug 4 this. Just got the new Kiasa heater, like the one in your video, but the new rounded style being sold now, but it's the same thing, only the style has changed a little.
That's why I was asking about the clearances, from the ceiling & below etc above.
I'm fitting it, in my living room above the sliding door, that has a wooden plinth.
But the wall above it is circa 80cm in height.
All the best 👍
Great vid
Thanks Nigel for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
Hi, Great Video. please can you help with the wifi set up. I cannot get the wifi symbol to blink fast. I believe you have to use the remote to set up but have lost my manual. Any help would be appreciated
When you switch it on the light blinks, you then need to load the smart life app to your phone like in the video, Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
@aaanton11 Thank you , will give it another go
Hi just wondering which you prefer, the panels or the bar?
Depends on where they are going, I like the panels in the house as they are very discrete, the Bar works well in the conservatory where wall space is limited. Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
Great vid mate, Yep conservatives are a pain to keep warm all heat just escapes out the windows and roof. we had one years ago got rid of it and built an extention insulatated it so much top bottom left right lol builder said it would be perfect for the north pole lol
Heater looks really nice, well worth it and it will pay for itself in no time just like the tools lol
looking forward to the milwaukee tools videos
Cant wait to get on the tools again!! Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
Hi, my panel exceeds temperature of 300C. Is that safe? Thank you
Normal on these bar heaters don't touch it 😂 thats why they need to be mounted high up, Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
@@aaanton11 Yeah, ive mounted it high on a wall. But I was surprised to see 300C from it 😅
That oil cooler doesn't consume 2KW all the time. I have about 400W, it also has a thermostat
It stays on for long periods when its on full, Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
are these far infrared or near? are these available in the USA?
Far , check the link in the comments on Amazon, you might find one comparable in the USA Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
Can you turn the display off ?
I don't think so, Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
I've got one, they are good but expect them to take 5-10 minutes to start warming up. Unlike say a blow heater they are not instant.
This one starts to heat instantly taking a couple of minutes to reach full warmth Thanks for the great information 👍🏻👍🏻🛠
I'm fairly sure these heaters are made generically in the same factory and shipped out under different brands at wildly varying prices. Fairly sure the exact same model shown here is half the price on another site under a different brand name!
Thanks for the great information👍🏻👍🏻🛠
Nail on the head mate I have the same one but with the name Devola on it bought direct from them at a saving of £40 rather than going with Amazon, I got the 1800W
I noticed your far Infrared heater wasn't plugged in?😊
They are always plugged in 😂 Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
near 12kw at 44p at my house doesnt equal 1.50
The heater doesn't pull that much power, once set at 20 degrees on 600w it is far more efficient, Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
This looks like a well made heater, have ordered one for my man cave direct from their web site, special deal today 👍 the remote looks different to the one in your video ? Has it been updated ?
Not so sure about the claims made about this product. If you ain't heating the air with the infrared heater, just the objects in the room, then the objects in the room will start to heat the room once they're warm. It's the conservatorys heat loss calculations and outside temperature that determine energy usage for a given room temperature.
Its more about energy used to heat efficiency which these heaters are, but I agree in what you say, Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
Understandable point you make, however the point of radiant heaters is that they shine warmth onto you and onto objects that then in turn radiate that warmth onto you, giving personal comfort. I have 2 Infra Red heaters in my 18' x 18' workshop that has an open vaulted roof, no ceiling and no insulation. The 2 heaters at 1.5kw each get the room comfortable very quickly enabling me to switch down to just one heater and maintain a comfortable working space. Prior to these, I had a 3kw industrial fan heater which didn't even come close to raising the temperature to a comfortable level and was thus useless. For well insulated and draught free spaces, conventional air heating is great. But for poorly insulated spaces, radiant is the way to go. All of the above is from personal hands on experience, not just hearsay.
It's like working outside on a cold day but when the sun is out. You still feel warm in the sun even if the air is still cold.
Misleading comparing one heater at full power with another heater at half power for efficiency
Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
Misleading comparing a 1500 W heater to a 1200 W heater. And it's more efficient
Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
~ Yep, I watched it Because I was Bored.
Than I started thinking Did I just watch a Man Putting a bracket on the Wall for 10 Minutes ??
😂 Thanks for the great comments👍🏻👍🏻🛠
