Keeping our elderly and most vulnerable people warm shouldn’t come at a high cost. Care homes, retirement flats, and social housing all face the challenge of providing safe, reliable heating while managing tight budgets.
Infrared heating is the ideal solution. It delivers gentle radiant warmth that keeps residents comfortable, reduces running costs, and removes safety risks associated with older systems like storage heaters or portable heaters.
Ceiling panels or wall-mounted panels mean no risk of burns or trip hazards.
Radiant warmth reduces damp and mould, improving air quality.
Lower running costs compared to storage heaters.
Heat only occupied rooms, not empty spaces.
Long lifespan, no filters or servicing required.
