Heat specific areas without waste and with substantial energy savings
Conventional heating systems heat the air, which is wasted as it naturally rises and can also drift away with air movement.
Infrared Heating creates an instant pool of warmth, which will not rise to the ceiling or drift away with air movement.
Unlike traditional convection heaters, zero-carbon infrared heaters deliver targeted, shortwave infrared heat that warms the person—not the surrounding air. This significantly reduces energy costs, and ensures that heating is directed only where it’s necessary.
SunSwitch® provide zero-carbon, infrared heating systems that are perfect for warehouse heating, heritage buildings (such as churches), and many more industrial applications.
This is why mechanical and electrical (M&E) contractors, HR departments, and churchwardens are switching from outdated convection methods to sustainable, efficient infrared heating systems.
SunSwitch® Infrared Heating Systems
Targeted heat
Shortwave infrared can be directed at the people who need it, rather than wastefully warming the surrounding room and air.
Low cost
Infrared heaters can be installed by any trained electrician, and will instantly start saving you money with high efficiency.
Zero carbon
Our zero-carbon heaters produce absolutely zero emissions, making them perfect for meeting Carbon Reduction Plans.
Instant heating
Immediate, targeted heat at the press of a button, with complete control over the temperature of your industrial or commercial space.
Gas & Convection Heating Systems
Inefficient
We call convection heaters ‘bat-warmers’, due to the wasted heat that rises to the roof of your warehouse.
Additional costs
To make sure convection heaters work, you’ll also need to consider insulation around your expansive industrial space.
Constant maintenance
Convection heaters have lots of moving parts, which can lead to costly repairs when things inevitably go wrong.
Lengthy warm-up
Heritage buildings can take 4-5 hours to heat with traditional convection methods, raising bills to uncomfortable heights.
ATEX-approved heating for industrial spaces
Our industrial & commercial infrared heating solutions are designed to perform across a wide range of scenarios and industrial spaces. No matter what kind of heating you require, we’ll supply the exact solution for your industrial or commercial needs.
This includes the only ATEX-approved infrared heater in the world, which is safe to use in potentially explosive environments. This makes it suitable for spaces such as:
- Repair shops
- Wood processing facilities
- Chemical and pharmaceutical spaces
- Agricultural and livestock environments
- Boatyards
- Spray painting booths
Reduce your energy costs today
Heating can be one of the most wasteful expenses that an industrial space encounters, due to the inefficient nature of convection or gas heating systems. Hot air rises, which results in employees not benefitting from traditional heating methods when trying to work in cold environments.
With an infrared system, warehouse heating has evolved. Targeted heating provides comfortable, effective warmth that mimics the sun’s rays—creating a safe work environment that will inspire staff to be productive and efficient.
Infrared heaters also have many health benefits when compared to traditional convection methods. As there is no air movement created by SunSwitch® dust and germs aren’t circulated around your industrial or commercial space, and because infrared heaters don’t warm the surrounding air, there’s no chance of condensation – eliminating the risk of mould or airborne illness.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is infrared heating safe?
Absolutely! Infrared heaters transfer virtually all of their energy in the shortwave infrared region, which effectively absorbs the heat into your body. This is a similar principle to the sun’s rays, but our heaters don’t emit any UV, which can be harmful to your skin. So you can benefit from the comfortable warmth of our heaters, without the need for suncream!
Is infrared heating cheaper than gas?
Yes, infrared heaters will prove to be much cheaper than gas or convection alternatives in warehouse heating. This is because no heat is wasted, which reduces energy costs by up to 70%. You’ll also see a 40% reduction in the cost of products and maintenance with infrared heaters, because they have no moving parts and require far less upkeep.
Are infrared heaters cheap to run?
Calculating the cost to run an infrared heater is straightforward. If you know what you’re paying per kWh for energy, you simply multiply this by the kW size of your heater. So for a 1.5kW heater at £0.30 per kWh, you’ll pay £0.45 per hour to run this at 100%.
However, all SunSwitch® infrared heaters can be adjusted (or ‘dimmed’) to an ideal temperature for your space, using our specialist optional heater controllers so you’ll only need an output that matches your requirements. If you reduce the intensity to 30%, for example, you’ll only pay £0.14 per hour—reducing your costs by 70%!
