Last November, the Peeters family in Ghent dreaded the cold months; their old radiators took up valuable space and energy costs rose by no less than 22% in just one year. They dreamed of a modern interior without unsightly pipes, but technical uncertainty regarding their electrical capacity held them back for months. Do you recognize that hesitation? You are eager to make the switch to gas-free living, but the fear of visible cables or incorrect installation prevents you from making the decision. It is perfectly logical that you are looking for certainty and a result that functions perfectly from day one.

We believe that making your home sustainable should be synonymous with complete peace of mind. Our professional infrared installation service is specifically designed to transform your home into an oasis of healthy warmth by 2026, without you having to touch a screwdriver yourself. In this guide, you will discover how, through smart calculations and an aesthetic finish, we ensure a maintenance-free system that blends seamlessly into your interior. We walk you through the process of expert installation and show how the correct positioning of your panels directly leads to a lower energy bill and unprecedented living comfort.

What exactly does an infrared installation service entail?

An infrared installation service at Warmteshop Infrared Heating is a total solution that starts with an accurate heat loss calculation and ends with a perfectly functioning system in your business premises. It is a misconception that it simply involves hanging a white panel on the wall. In practice, 85% of business customers in the Oud Gastel region opt for a fully hassle-free experience, because the technical complexity of an efficient system is often underestimated. A certified installer examines the entire electrical infrastructure of your office, warehouse, or showroom. He checks whether the existing circuits can handle the extra load of, for example, 3000 Watts without the fuses blowing.

To fully understand why installation requires such precision, it is essential to know what infrared heating actually is. Unlike traditional convection, where the air is heated, infrared works by direct radiation onto objects and people. This process requires strategic placement to prevent shadows in the heat experience. The infrared installation service ensures that each panel hangs at the correct distance from workstations, so that employees experience constant, healthy warmth without the panels getting in the way or detracting from the interior.

Safety is paramount here. Our installers work strictly according to NEN 1010 standards, which reduces the risk of fire due to cable overheating by nearly 100% compared to unskilled projects. Moreover, there is a significant difference between a manually operated panel and full integration into a smart home system. With professional integration, we connect the panels to smart thermostats that measure with an accuracy of up to 0.1 degrees. This results in energy savings that are up to 20% higher than with basic installations, because the system only consumes

The technical preparation: What you need to know for the installation

Good preparation is the foundation of an efficient heating system. Before our infrared installation service get to work at your company in the Oud Gastel region, we examine the technical basis of the building together. The goal is simple: to create an optimal indoor climate with the lowest possible energy consumption. This is because infrared does not work by heating the air, but by radiating directly onto objects and people. This requires a specific approach to your electrical installation and the layout of your spaces.

Power supply and circuits in the meter cupboard

The first step is a critical look at the fuse box. Infrared panels are powerful devices, and the load on your power grid must be balanced. An important guideline here is the 3600-Watt rule. When the total power of the panels on a single circuit exceeds this limit, it is necessary to have an additional circuit installed. For an average office of 50 square meters, you often quickly need 4000 Watts of power, distributed across multiple panels.

In addition, the quality of the wiring is crucial. A stable connection to the phase and neutral wires guarantees that the panels operate safely and without malfunctions. You have two choices here: connect the panels directly to the power grid for a seamless finish, or use smart thermostats. These thermostats control the panels based on the actual temperature, which is essential for an energy-efficient and warm home or office. Furthermore, by using wireless receivers, you avoid unnecessary drilling and breaking into your walls.

The ideal position for maximum return

The position where a panel is mounted determines 90 percent of the comfort level. Infrared radiation has an angle of approximately 150 degrees. If you place a panel directly behind a tall cabinet or a desk, the radiation is absorbed by the furniture instead of the rest of the room. This leads to efficiency loss and cold spots. In 80 percent of commercial installations, we recommend ceiling mounting. This ensures the floor is heated evenly, providing wonderful comfort for the feet and distributing the heat throughout the room unimpeded.

Safety is always our top priority in our infrared installation service , especially in damp areas such as canteens or sanitary facilities. Grounding is mandatory in these zones, and we work exclusively with panels that have an IP44 certification. This means they are protected against splashing water and can be safely used in a damp environment.

Checklist for preparation:

• Calculate the required power: assume approximately 30 Watts per cubic meter for well-insulated offices and up to 60 Watts for older commercial buildings.
• Check the free space on the ceiling or walls; allow for a distance of 50 centimeters to other objects.
• Ensure that a power outlet is available within 1.5 meters of the chosen mounting location.
• Check whether your current fuse box still has free space for an extra circuit for larger installations.

Accurately mapping out these factors prevents delays during installation. Do you need help determining the right capacity for your specific situation? Our advisors would be happy to visit you for a personal on-site consultation , ensuring you make the right choices for the future of your business.

Design and functionality: Seamlessly integrate infrared panels into your interior

Infrared heating is much more than just a practical source of warmth; it has become an essential part of your interior design. While traditional radiators are often an obstacle that you would rather hide behind a sofa, a professional infrared installation service the possibility of making the heating blend completely with the space. The secret to successful integration lies in the finish. Our installers ensure "invisible" cable concealment by routing cables directly into the wall or through subtle skirting boards to the connection point. This keeps the focus on the aesthetic aspect of the panel and not on the technology behind it.

The aesthetic added value of modern panels is impressive. Nowadays, we often speak of functional art. A sleek white panel on a light ceiling is barely noticeable, whereas a glass or mirror panel makes a statement in the room. By combining lighting and heating in a single system, you create a minimalist look that brings tranquility to your office or home. Research by GOV.UK shows that the ability to seamlessly integrate infrared panels into existing interiors is one of the key reasons why consumers choose this sustainable technology. The flexibility is unprecedented; whether it concerns a small attic room or an open-plan office, there is a suitable solution for every corner that not only heats the space but also enhances it.

Bathroom solutions: Mirrors and towel dryers

In the bathroom, comfort is the highest priority. The installation of an infrared mirror offers a 100% condensation-free experience. Even after a 15-minute hot shower, the glass remains clear, allowing you to shave or apply makeup immediately. Additionally, a professionally mounted towel dryer ensures the luxury of warm towels upon stepping out. Safety is crucial in this regard. Our installers strictly adhere to legal safety zones. Panels with an IP44 certification, for example, must be mounted at a minimum distance of 60 centimeters from the shower cabin or bathtub. Correct installation prevents short circuits and guarantees years of trouble-free operation in damp environments.

Living room aesthetics: Picture and glass panels

The living room calls for a personal touch. You can have your favorite vacation photo or an abstract artwork printed on a heating panel, transforming the heater into a decorative element. In the kitchen, we often see the rise of black chalkboard panels. These are functional for jotting down recipes or shopping lists, while simultaneously emitting pleasant radiant heat. A tight, level installation is essential for these design pieces; a deviation of just a few millimeters disrupts the visual balance on the wall. That is why a professional infrared installation service the best choice for those striving for perfection. Our experts have the right measuring equipment and mounting materials to install every panel robustly and perfectly straight, regardless of the wall surface.

The versatility of infrared doesn't stop at the walls. Ceiling mounting is an excellent option for keeping floor space free, resulting in an average space saving of 15% compared to traditional systems, especially in smaller offices or bedrooms. By allowing the heat to come from above, you simulate the natural effect of the sun, contributing to a healthier and more energy-efficient indoor climate without compromising your interior style.

The step-by-step plan: Your path to an energy-efficient and warm home

Switching to a sustainable heating system is an important decision for your business or home in the Oud Gastel region. We understand that you are not just looking for a product, but for a total solution that really works. Our infrared installation service is designed to take the burden off your shoulders completely, from the initial consultation to the moment the healthy radiant heat embraces you. We work with a tight schedule and clear quotations, so you know exactly where you stand.

Whether it concerns an office building or a characteristic home, we tailor the panels to your interior and usage needs. In this way, we create a system that is not only functional but also aesthetically blends seamlessly into the space.

Step 1: Consultation and heat loss calculation

A high-quality installation starts with the facts. Because every building has unique characteristics, we are happy to visit you free of charge for a thorough inspection. During this visit, we perform an accurate heat loss calculation. We look at the insulation value of the walls, the type of glazing, and the volume of each room. This is essential; a deviation of just 12 percent in the required power can already lead to discomfort or excessive energy consumption.

Together, we determine the exact wattage per room to prevent underutilization. Infrared panels work most efficiently when they can effectively heat the mass in the room. Additionally, we advise you on the right thermostats. We opt for smart control systems that you can manage per zone, which often results in savings of 20 to 30 percent on energy costs compared to central heating. You will receive honest advice regarding wall or ceiling placement for the best results.

Step 2: The actual installation day and handover

As soon as the design is finalized, we schedule the installation day. Our infrared installation service is known for its fast and extremely clean working method. Our installers often need just one working day to install a complete system, without the need for extensive demolition work. We mount the panels in strategically chosen locations and ensure a safe electrical connection. We discreetly conceal the cabling so that the design of the panels is shown to its best advantage.

After installation, the most important phase follows: configuration and testing. We connect the thermostats to your Wi-Fi network or existing home automation system, allowing you to easily control everything via an app on your smartphone. We test each zone individually and explain exactly how the control system works. You will immediately receive practical tips for daily use. Did you know, for example, that lowering the base temperature by just 1 degree can result in a direct saving of 6 percent on your annual bill? Our after-sales service guarantees that you use the system with confidence and immediately enjoy the new comfort.

Frequently asked questions about infrared installation service

What does an infrared installation service cost on average in 2026?

In 2026, you will pay an average of between 175 and 230 euros per panel for a professional infrared installation service. This price includes mounting brackets, connection materials, and the full configuration of your thermostat. If additional circuits are required in the fuse box, installers often charge a fixed rate of 345 euros for an expansion. By opting for a total package when purchasing five or more panels, you often save 12% on the total installation costs.

Can I hang an infrared panel myself, or do I always need an electrician?

In principle, you can hang an infrared panel yourself using the included templates, but for safe integration, we recommend hiring a professional. Especially when mounting to the ceiling or in damp areas such as the bathroom, expertise is essential to comply with NEN 1010 safety standards. A certified installer ensures that the cables are concealed. This creates the sleek and stylish look that Warmteshop is known for.

How long does it take before an entire house is equipped with infrared panels?

The installation of infrared panels in an average five-room home usually takes just one working day. Our installers typically install 6 to 8 panels between 8:00 AM and 4:30 PM, including setting up the smart thermostats on your smartphone. This means you are never left in the cold for long and do not need to plan any major renovations. Because no breaking of pipes is required, your house remains clean and immediately habitable during the work.

Do I need to replace my entire fuse box to switch to infrared?

In 85% of cases, a complete replacement of the meter cupboard is not necessary, provided your current installation is modern enough. Often, adding one or two extra 16-amp circuits is sufficient to handle the additional load from the panels. For homes older than 30 years, we always check whether the residual current devices (RCDs) still meet current requirements. This is how we guarantee fire-safe and future-proof heating for your entire building.

Is the installation service also available for apartments and social housing?

Our infrared installation service is fully available for both apartments and social housing in the Oud Gastel region. For tenants, this is an ideal solution because the panels are easy to dismantle and take with them to a new home when moving. In apartments with limited space, ceiling mounting offers a 100% space saving compared to traditional radiators. This immediately makes your living space larger and significantly more comfortable.

What is the ideal place for an infrared panel in a large living room?

The ideal location for an infrared panel in a large living room is on the ceiling, centrally above the seating area or dining table. From a height of 2.6 meters, the radiation spreads at a 45-degree angle, ensuring the floor and furniture heat up evenly. Avoid locations directly behind curtains or large cabinets, as these block the heat radiation. Strategic placement results in an energy saving of 15% compared to random wall mounting.

Is there a warranty on the installation of the panels by Warmteshop?

At Warmteshop, you receive a standard 2-year full warranty on the installation and up to 10 years on the infrared panels themselves. This warranty covers all defects that may arise during installation, such as loose brackets or technical faults in the wiring. We work exclusively with certified installers who complete every project with an official inspection report. This ensures you have a durable solution that you can enjoy worry-free for years to come.

Can infrared panels also be mounted on a wooden ceiling or wall?

Infrared panels can be safely mounted on wooden ceilings and walls thanks to the special insulation layer on the back of our panels. The back of a panel never gets warmer than 40 degrees Celsius, which is well below the ignition temperature of wood. For wooden surfaces, we often use additional 2-centimeter spacers for optimal air circulation. This prevents discoloration of the wood and ensures that the healthy heat is radiated exclusively into the room.
