Calculate Your Power Requirements
It is important to ensure you have enough infrared power in your room. If you under power a room this can lead to inefficiency and increased costs as the heater tries to get the room up to the required temperature , but cant so the heater stays on all the time. If in doubt it is always better to have a little too much power as all that will happen is the room heats up quicker and cuts out quicker.
The information opposite should enable you to accurately assess your needs, but if you are in any doubt please get in touch and we will be pleased to help out.
**Living Rooms /Offices/ Children’s Rooms …....... .......... 30 Watts per m3
Kitchens/Bedrooms.................................................. 25 Watts per m3
Hallways.................................................................. 25 Watts per m3
Bathrooms ….......................................................... 35 Watts per m3
** Generally assumed 25 Watts per m3 in England. 30 Watts assumed for Scotland to allow for climatic variations!
Above assume good levels insulation in walls and roof
Room Length (m) x Room width(m) x Room Height (m) = m3
m3 x Watts per m3 = Power requirement
e.g. Living Room 3.6m x 4.5m x 2.4m =38.88m3
38.88m3 x 30 Watts per m3 = 1166watts
Total infrared panels wattage for room should add up to the above figure (or more)
