AUSTRALIA'S LEADER IN INFRARED HEATING
Menu
Stylish, ultra-slim and space-saving, infrared panels use radiant heat to warm the room evenly creating a comfortable, natural feeling of warmth that our customers love!
Instead of directly heating the air in a room, our IR panels heat the walls, ceiling and floor evenly which absorbs the heat and gently re-emits the heat back into the room. This is more efficient than conventional heating systems which waste energy by heating large volumes of air.
Far infrared panels are the easiest way to switch to 100% net zero carbon heating. They can be installed as a full house alternative to heat pumps, that is significantly more affordable and far easier to install, or as a complementary solution to existing heating systems.
Our Comfort range of white infrared panel heaters are manufactured and assembled in our new U.K. production facility. We designed Comfort to be the most environmentally sustainable and best performing infrared panel on the market. Made from British steel and incorporating our German heating element they come complete with a 10 year warranty. Ideal for new builds and renovations.
Our popular Select XLS range of frameless infrared panels offer a fantastic combination of performance, quality and price, all backed up with a 5 year warranty. They have integrated receiver technology, making them perfect for DIY or retrofit installations, with simple control through your choice of XLS thermostat. Plus our Select XLS Towel Heater with Integrated Controls has built-in controls, offering the ideal heating solution for bathrooms.
Herschel Krystal is unique in design and incorporates the latest infrared technology to bring you high power and fast warm-up from a super-compact, space-saving design that can be neatly ceiling-recessed for a seamless finish. Perfect for high end properties and bathrooms.
Made to order in Germany, our Inspire range includes bespoke pictures, mirrors and white infrared panels with a 10 year warranty.
Showing the single result
Our white panels can be wall or ceiling mounted and are designed to discreetly blend in to any room in the house. Glass, mirror and picture panels can only be installed as wall panel heaters.
For a contemporary and stylish look in bathrooms consider our mirror panels or towel heaters, they look stunning and are perfect for helping to reduce damp.
For the ultimate in heating, let us print your favourite photo or picture and turn your heater into a bespoke piece of art. You can even have a heater as a blackboard.
Our control systems allow full App control and compliance with EU energy saving legislation (LOT20). All of our panels are specially optimised for UK voltage and are fully tested by TÜV to GS, CE and international electrical Safety Standards.
Buying a house with night storage heaters called for a complete change in heating system. Herschel infrared heating panels provided an economical and environmental solution preferable to installing a gas boiler. Herschel were helpful and efficient throughout the process. We measured the rooms and they calculated what we needed, providing different options for the different model of panels.
The panels were easy to install and I am so pleased with the final product. They look elegant and unobtrusive on the ceiling; but provide instantly warming heat. Washing dries quickly, tiled floors feel warm beneath bare feet, and there are no radiators to clutter wall space. I love that I can control each panel from an app on my phone, meaning it is easy to heat up a room from the touch of a button. Best of all, when the electricity bill came, it was very reasonable.
Thank you for providing such an amazing product. So thoughtfully designed by your team and perfect for this project on every way. ❤️❤️❤️

My whole experience. 3 infrared ceiling panels and 1 wall mounted space heater. Bought my first ever property. A little mid terrace 1 bedroom house with the bedroom on a mezzanine level. From ground floor to ceiling peak is 4.9m. Very open plan weird shape. The only heating system it had was a plug in electric fireplace… thing, and the gas meter had been took out. Anyway, after days/weeks of research and since I’m a bit of an ‘eco friendly nut’ – I decided on elec heating system and then on infrared panels as I don’t have enough space for anything on my walls. Gas or storage heaters would have been pointless as there is a huge volume of air as it’s all open plan and heat rises. My diamond colleague/friend who’s an electrician in his very late 50’s had never done anything like this, but I assured him he was very capable (lol). Ended up a near full re-wire and new board anyway. I sent off pictures with measurements and descriptions as I had zero clue what size/wattage I had to get and the team were very efficent in telling me what I needed after more than a few emails back and fourth. The instructions on the website which my dear friend spent about 2 weeks reading over, were very clear once he figured it out. Although my joiner did advise putting in extra framing above the ceilings to hold them up, but I lowered mine anyway and had access to the loft so this wasn’t a problem for me. Now I’m currently sitting in my new home with them all connected. Bearing in mind at the start of this project, I was a 24 year old painter and decorator who ‘doesn’t have a clue’ and infrared technology is ‘a waste of money’. I have now proven people wrong on both points and they are thoroughly amazed at these things. The heat they give off is direct, like the sun. Heats walls, surfaces, objects – which means they do not make the air stuffy like gas radiators or storage heaters which would give me a headache and make me feel like I couldn’t breathe. Also considering most storage heater wattage, these are meant to be better on the bills. They just take a bit of getting used to. I’m very pleased with them and the overall experience with this company. I hope they last a long time so this will be my first and last purchase. Unless in 20+ years I move, then I will be back and hopefully by then this internet page has thousands of 5* reviews. I did have a problem with the app on my phone (which eventhough I’m giving a 5 star review, does need work). But thankfully the people at herschel gave me an alternative so that I could use this system as was intended and I’m very greatful for that because now I’m cosy. So afterall, now with my panels and my renewable energy electricity supplier, I am now doing my bit towards climate change – at least in my mind… Thanks everyone.
We have recently renovated our house and have an existing gas central heating system and an aga in the kitchen. We often work from home and didn’t want to have to heat the whole house just to get our study warm enough to work from. We therefore decided to purchase a Herschel heater to install in the study as it was so controllable (we can just heat the study) and we loved the design (can be used as a whiteboard too!). We also needed to top up the heating in the main sitting room and we didn’t want to install new pipework, so we purchased another Herschel heater which looks modern and stylish. Really impressed with the advice we received prior to the purchase. Our electricians found the heaters easy to install too. Would definitely recommend.
We could get really geeky on this but will try to keep it simple…
Whilst both Herschel Inspire and Select XLS panel ranges have different construction methods, they both do the same thing which is to convert electricity to emit radiant heat called “far infrared”. Surface temperatures of the Inspire and Select XLS Panels average 100 degrees centigrade and are designed to gently warm people and buildings.
Herschel Advantage and Aspect range utilise ceramic plate emitters containing nickel wire cores.
Herschel Far Infrared emitters emit in the spectral range of 3 – 10 microns with no light at all.
The Herschel Advantage and Aspect Space heaters have surface temperatures of around 400 degrees centigrade and have a higher throw and spread to heat larger areas.
The majority of the heat produced from all of our panels is “radiant”, meaning the energy is used to directly heat objects and not the air.
Herschel Infrared panels are easy to install and come with a very comprehensive set of instructions. As Infrared panels are an electric installation, they should only be carried out by a suitably qualified electrician. Herschel has a network of accredited installers who would be happy to help you.
Things to consider when planning to install an infrared panel are:
Installation hardware and guides for measuring and installing the mounting brackets are included in the box with the heaters. Instructions are also always available for download from the website.
This makes Infrared significantly easier to install than oil or gas boilers, heat pumps, underfloor heating etc and implies only minor disruption to your house.

Herschel panels radiate far infrared heat through the air which is then absorbed by objects and surfaces of the room. The most effective place for you to mount your panels is usually higher up on the walls or on the ceiling.
The heaters will be less effective if they are mounted directly opposite a window or door as there will be no thermal mass to absorb the energy.
You will feel heat from the panels to a distance of around 2.5-3m, so if you want to have the feeling of the warmth from the panels try to mount them within 3m of where you are normally located within the room.
We recommend you contacting us or one of our authorised distributors, installers or re-sellers for more advice.
This depends on the ambient temperature and the levels of insulation of your building. Herschel Far Infrared heaters work by warming up the thermal mass of the room and on initial start up, this may take several hours and in some cases days, depending on the area to be heated (a damp basement room for example). It is very important to go through this phase to warm the thermal mass of the room for the heaters to work efficiently – cold walls and floors will not give occupants a feeling of warmth and wellbeing. For the system to work effectively all surfaces in the room should be at the same comfortable temperature and will start radiating back.
We recommend leaving the heaters on constantly until the room reaches the desired temperature. They then work most effectively by “topping up” the temperature using a thermostat control, being operated on a timer or a combination of both.
Can I paint the panels so they match the same colour as my walls?
Our best advice, following testing in-house, would be to use heat resistant paints such as radiator paint. Normal emulsion doesn’t bond very well (you can easily scratch it off).
Please note, we are unable to give any warranty around the paint itself and so any discoloration of the paint is at your own risk.
