Choosing the best infrared heating panels will be influenced by various factors including the size of the rooms you are looking to heat, how you want the room to look, what sort of budget you are working with, what kind of insulation you have in your home, and which rooms you are looking to install them in (dining room vs bathroom, for example).
Best Radiant Heat Panel for Your Home
Some important considerations are
- Heating Capacity – check that the heating panel is powerful enough to heat your desired space (wattage/square footage).
- Panel Size and Design – are the size (dimensions) and style of the panel going to look right on the wall/ceiling you are considering?
- Length of the Warranty – this varies significantly across heating panels (in our top ten alone there are panels with 2-year, 5-year, 10-year, 15-year, and lifetime warranties). A two or five-year warranty is fine for a space heater, but you probably want something longer if the radiant heating panel is going to be your primary home heating solution.
- Installation – Some panels require professional installation, while others can be easily mounted on walls or ceilings by homeowners. Ceiling-mounted panels, for example, may require a lot of work including requiring in your home.
Additionally, as well as the obvious things like price and energy efficiency, you may want to pay attention to the control (standard vs Wi-fi/Smart controls) and thermostat options.
