Don’t Get Spooked: The Real Difference Between Infrared Panels

Not all horrors hide in haunted houses; — some hide in heating systems. 👻

Every year, we hear stories of panels that looked just like the real thing but didn’t perform as promised. Flickering thermostats, uneven warmth, mysterious cold patches, — the kind of “heating horror” no building deserves.

At ARC Thermal, we take the mystery out of comfort. Our systems are European-manufactured, independently tested, and designed for long-term reliability, — backed by expert, human-led specification.

No guesswork. No generic calculators. Just quality, comfort and expertise.

Why “looking the same” doesn’t mean “working the same”

Infrared panels may appear similar online, but it’s what’s inside — and who designs your system that— makes all the difference.

Without the right specification, even a good panel can underperform. That’s why our team personally designs every system, ensuring the correct wattage, layout, and control strategy for your space.

We specify only European-manufactured infrared panels, all compliant with CE and TÜV standards — and our flagship LAVA Basic 3.0, designed and built by ETHERMA in Austria, also carries EIHA certification.

With over 40 years of innovation in infrared heating, ETHERMA sets the benchmark for performance and reliability — and as their sole UK distributor, ARC Thermal delivers that same level of quality, comfort and expertise across every project.
