Infrared is perfect for:
Picking and packing areas
Loading bays and shutter doors
High-ceiling industrial units
Cold zones in older buildings
Warmth where it’s needed - nothing wasted.
Using occupancy sensors and smart zoning controls, we can heat only the areas in use.
Picking stations can be maintained at 15–17°C while storage areas stay unheated.
Open a loading bay?
The warmth stays with your staff, not the air.
Bonus: Infrared heaters can be suspended at height or wall-mounted — no ducting, no fan noise and zero maintenance.
Designed for industrial applications
| Infrared Heating | Warm Air Systems |
|---|---|
| Warms people directly = superior thermal comfort | People only warmed on contact with warm air |
| No heat loss when doors are opened | Warm air escapes instantly |
| Targeted heating areas | Whole space must be heated = wasted energy |
| Near zero maintenance | Regular servicing required |
| Fast response time | Slow to warm large spaces |
Go further with solar integration
ARC also delivers fully integrated solar PV systems. When paired with infrared heating, your warehouse could:
Offset up to 100% of electricity usage
Cut carbon emissions by over 60 tonnes per year
Pay back installation costs in just 5–7 years
Real savings, real comfort
ARC Thermal Solutions replaced a legacy gas system with zoned infrared heating across the warehouse and offices. The result?
Spot heating that covers just 14% of the entire warehouse
Accurate controls provide comfort for staff in all areas
Integration with a 148kWp solar PV system
All for less than the cost of a heat pump for the office alone
Infrared reduced heating energy costs by up to 70% compared to convection systems.

Infrared heats people and surfaces directly, not the air. That means it works instantly, doesn’t lose heat when shutter doors open, and doesn’t waste energy warming unused space. It’s ideal for high-ceiling spaces where convection systems struggle.
Yes — and that’s one of the biggest advantages. Infrared is perfect for zoned or spot heating, like picking/packing stations, loading bays, or workbenches. You only heat occupied areas, which saves energy and improves comfort.
Absolutely. We use medium-wave infrared like the ETHERMA EEZ panels, which are designed for installation heights up to 20m. We suspend them closer to occupied areas to maximise effectiveness, even in very large spaces.
Unlike convection heating, infrared doesn’t rely on warm air. So when you open a roller door, the warmth stays with your staff — not lost into the air. This makes it perfect for busy, high-traffic warehouses.
No — infrared panels are completely maintenance-free. There are no moving parts, no filters, and no fans. Once installed, they provide years of reliable, silent heating.
Yes. Many clients, like in our Pilot Pen case study, combine infrared with solar PV. You can offset heating costs entirely using clean energy and even control usage through integrated building management systems.
