Energy Usage & Savings

A Way of Heating Where Less Energy Goes to Waste

In conventional systems, heated air is constantly on the move — it escapes through an open door, leaks around a window, rises and pools near the ceiling — and the system keeps reheating to make up for that loss. With infrared heating, energy is delivered directly to surfaces and objects; those surfaces absorb and hold onto that heat for a while, which reduces how often the system needs to reheat at all.

How Much Can You Save?

A correctly sized infrared system can deliver the same comfort using significantly less energy than conventional heating. The actual savings depend on factors like insulation quality, room size, how long the heating runs, and thermostat settings — so rather than quote a single fixed percentage, we recommend an assessment specific to your space. Our Heater Calculator is a good first step toward finding the right power output.

A Longer Lifespan Means Long-Term Savings

We provide a 3-year warranty on Sunlike Tec panels — but thanks to the quality materials and robust construction we use, we expect our panels to keep performing reliably for many years beyond that. With no moving parts, no bulbs to burn out, and no filters to replace, there's no ongoing maintenance or replacement cost across the product's working life either.

The Contribution of Zoned Heating

Another advantage of infrared panels is that only the space actually in use needs to be heated — rather than bringing an entire home or an entire workshop to the same temperature, focusing on the zone that's needed saves additional energy. This approach is even more pronounced in large-volume spaces like workshops and warehouses.
