Slimline wall or ceiling mounted infrared heaters for effective warmth

For student accommodation our panels are being chosen by leading universities and accommodation providers as well as private landlords. Infrared panels are space-saving, silent, maintenance free and easy to control – creating the ideal heating solution for student accommodation.

Successful trials have shown that students prefer the feeling of infrared heat compared to the stuffiness associated with convection heaters and because the room itself is heated and not the air, our heaters reduce damp issues and provide a more consistent level of warmth. The ability to ceiling mount or place higher on the walls frees up valuable space for furniture and also reduces the risk of students covering the heaters.

Unlike convector heaters, our heaters are also completely silent. Extensive trials have shown savings of up to 20% on energy consumption and significant savings on maintenance.

Simple heating systems to control and operate

Zero maintenance may sound too good to be true for many providers but annual
checks aren’t required for our infrared heating solutions.

On a rare occasion should an issue arises, it can be located to a single point via software, avoiding a complete system shutdown. Any problem can be isolated without affecting other rooms.

Herschel infrared heaters can be remotely controlled alongside a BMS system giving much more control and visibility of consumption, enabling landlords and student occupiers to work together to reduce consumption.

“Such an amazing product”

Thank you for providing such an amazing product. So thoughtfully designed by your team and perfect for this project on every way. ❤️❤️❤️

Gabrielle Blackman, Interior Designer DIY SOS, on Herschel panels and Summit heaters for Blackburn’s charity Nightsafe, supporting the young homeless, aired on BBC1 13 November 2019. Via Instagram @ cushioncrisis.

“A warmth students really love”.

Harbour Yoga installed Herschel InfraRed panels to provide heating for Warm yoga classes at the studio. The panels are discreet and unobtrusive. They function extremely well, creating a warmth that students really love. The service from Herschel has been excellent, any issues have been dealt with extremely quickly and professionally. To summarise, we have found the panels to be an excellent product for our needs, from a great company to work with.

“Very satisfied” Student accommodation

[Comparing Select XL to existing electric convector]

On the ‘feel’ of the heat:

“It felt like a warm summer’s day, not like a heater, & was very comfortable”. “Old heaters were more stuffy, this one felt a lot better”. “I can feel the heat all over the room, & it feels like being surrounded by warm water rather than having a heater on”.

On the levels of heat / temperatures:

“Really very good, very satisfied”. “Works a lot better than the old heater & seems to hold the heat better”.

On the speed of warming up:

“Heats very quickly, literally in matter of minutes. I can turn it on go & make a cup of tea, & the room will feel warm when I get back”. “Very quickly, its hot in 5 minutes”.

On changing anything:

“No. It looks so much better & takes up much less space than the old heater”. “Not really, I prefer the new heater”.

On heat loss:

“Not a problem”. “The room seemed to stay warm for a long time”
