What is Electric Infrared Heating?
Infrared is the most natural form of heating as it is a wavelength of our own Sun’s rays.
Consider being in the Sun on a cold winter’s day. You can feel the warmth of the Sun before the air is warm. The feeling of warmth is almost instantaneous you can feel it as soon as the Sun emerges from behind a cloud.
This natural form of heat transfer provides the healthiest and most efficient electrical way to heat people and places and now with a low voltage energy efficient power source it proves costs and carbon emissions from DC Heat electric heating panels are lower than ever before. using DC (Direct Current) electricity as its power source it requires less resistance/Ohms to create the heat than Alternate Current based competitive products so can create the same levels of heat with reduced power levels
LCH Heating Panels outperform every alternative electric heating option available and via smarter and more controllable programming, including a mobile phone application, to support energy usage management & control.
The LCH panels beat all forms of domestic home, multi occupancy or commercial heating solutions, including gas, oil and air source heat pumps, after factoring total cost of ownership, maintenance, replacement costs and consumption of gas, oil or grid electricity.

Why Electric Infrared Heating versus other heating options?
- Gas Boilers are no longer allowed for newbuild installations from 2025 and requires costly annual safety inspections and maintenance
- Electric storage heaters rely on economy7 tariffs that now charge users a much higher kWh amount for usage in the daytime – particularly bad for families/elderly residents where time is spent at home during the day. Energy is wasted having to heat up the storage heaters at night and store that energy till the next day – loss of stored heat ends up contributing to heating the property when not required.
- Heat Pumps utilise wet based piping which requires plumbers/heating engineers and lots of internal piping = costly installation & ongoing maintenance. The pumps need larger radiators to compensate for lower water temperatures produced by the heat pump versus a gas/oil boiler. Customers end up running the heat pumps for longer periods in order to be comfortable.
