Orchid Range

Far Infrared Metal Heater with Built-in Digital Thermostat

The Orchid Range features sleek, gloss infrared heating panels that combine elegant design with highly efficient, low-cost heating. These heaters warm objects and surfaces in the room directly, rather than heating the air, creating a consistent and comfortable indoor environment.

Each unit comes with a 1.2-meter cable and UK 3-pin plug, allowing for plug-and-play convenience. The integrated thermostat maintains your chosen temperature automatically, which cycles the panel on and off as needed to keep surfaces and furniture warm.

All necessary mounting brackets and connections are included for quick and easy installation.

Installation Tips

For best results, avoid installing the panel facing windows or doors. Position it to face into the room, allowing infrared rays to warm furniture, walls, and floors, ensuring an even, lasting heat throughout the space. A minimum 10cm gap from the edge of the panel to any furniture or walls is required. The Orchid heater has a rating of IP33.


Additional Information

• Adjustable surface temperature: 40°C – 90°C

• Certified with European Safety and TÜV standards

• Backed by a 2-year gold warranty

Testimonials for the Orchid Range

Home in Biggar, Scotland

Biggar home heater

Thank you for your help purchasing four 750W infrared panels—they work perfectly. Though I was initially dubious, the system has exceeded expectations. Your phone support and clear thermostat setup made installation and programming straightforward. The thermostats don’t act like central heating; they run only on programmed cycles, so occasional cold spells occur unless manually overridden. Everyone comments on the healthy, sun-like warmth, and the five-year warranty is reassuring. I’ll never use convector heaters again.

Hereford home heater

I’m a big fan of infrared heaters—my first choice for heating. I tested 600W panels in campsite shower rooms and was impressed by rapid, localized warmth. Now I use a single 600W panel in my office and four 1kW panels in a large snooker room, all controlled by timers or thermostats. They heat quickly, feel like sun on skin, and are easy DIY installs. Friends who’d never heard of them are convinced—highly recommend!

After days of research, I spoke to Dale to confirm my choices for a one-bedroom flat refurbishment. I purchased two 700W Far infrared heaters with built-in thermostats for the lounge/diner and a 600W Thermoglass "MAX" ceiling heater for the bathroom. The lounge units plug in and adjust instantly; the bathroom heater I wired via a fused outlet. Running costs are minimal, the flat is well-insulated, and the “MAX” bathroom panel is tiny yet incredibly powerful. Silent, vent-free, and dust-free—highly recommended!

Folkestone flat heater

Home in Weybridge

We have been renovating a house we moved into and decided to create more wall space in our sitting room by replacing two large radiators with some kind of heating alternative.

After extensive research and a visit to a home building exhibition, we decided to try some infrared panel heaters.

The 3 heaters supplied by Infrared Heaters have proved to be very successful, providing a gentle warmth where and when we want it.

They are small, inconspicuous, and aimed directly where we will be occupying the room, either in the sitting room’s TV viewing or desk zones.

They are flexible too, and can be turned on and off manually as required or controlled by a thermostat.

On-demand heating will prove to be much more economical and efficient. No more waiting for a radiator to heat up the whole room during the forthcoming winter months. Over time, we will be looking to replace other radiators around the house too.

Anstruther heater detail

We moved into our electric-only property January 2018 and replaced inefficient storage heaters with far infrared panels. After testing one, we quickly added more—they’re stylish, efficient, and feel like warm sunshine. No boiler maintenance, leaks, pipes, or CO worries. Timers let us wake to a warm home, and running costs are low thanks to rapid heat-up. Fantastic product at an affordable price.

Holiday Chalet

As part of our holiday chalet refurbishment it has been necessary to source neat, efficient, space-saving heating. It did not take me long to come across the Infrared Company and view their extensive product range.

I was able to quickly establish that these relatively new-to-the-market heating systems would be ideal for the application needed in our case.

Being a small, 2-bedroom, open-plan living-area chalet on the Suffolk Coast we required both efficiency and flexibility of usage. The fact that in our case, the heaters are ceiling-mounted is absolutely 100% a bonus to the small areas we need to heat—total wall space to site our furniture.

Just 2 phone calls were necessary to ascertain the product most suited to our chalet giving me entire confidence to place my order. As the product was completely new to our electrician, Dale spoke to him to confirm a few technical details.

I placed my order in accordance with the advice given for the exact units we would need to suit our room sizes and within 48 hours I had taken delivery of the units—to the amazement of our electrician and builders team. They were not used to such an efficient and swift service in the provision of heating units for a project.

I did smile to myself each time I heard the sceptical words of the traditional building team when discussing my fabulous new Infrared Company heaters. They soon ate their words with a large dose of relish! No longer the chilly cold work space for my team. They were toasty warm and extremely impressed with the tiny ceiling-mounted heaters keeping them warm while finishing off the project of renovating my chalet.

I have had a few folk trying to pop their heads in the door to take a look—but of course, they will have to wait! I placed a large ‘We are in Lockdown’ notice on the door. But I’m proud that my new Infrared Company heaters are ‘pulling a crowd.’

So, 2 weeks into living at the chalet, we are absolutely thrilled and find the heaters to be more than we hoped for in terms of appearance, design, and efficiency. We opted for the remote control thermostats although we haven’t had cause to use them remotely as yet.

The backup and support has been second to none and left me in no doubt that choosing a new innovative product was sensible, wise and safe.

We have a property in Spain also and I shall definitely be looking at taking units there. The winters are cold and these Infrared Company heaters will be the perfect heating form for our rural property. I shall be able to control the heating from afar if necessary eliminating possible damp in the house as well as keeping us warm when we visit during the cooler months.

Infrared Company have been easy to deal with and I would highly recommend Dale and his team. They can provide a heating solution so flexible and contemporary to suit most needs.

Somerton rental property

I replaced ugly night storage heaters in my rental terraced house with 6 plug-in panel heaters and thermostats. Installation was quick: new outlets near ceilings hide wiring. Tenants love the modern look and efficiency. Timers control usage, and running costs are much lower. Infrared panels are cheaper to buy and run, with added health and design benefits.

Wardington cottage heater

I needed heating for my daughter’s off-gas cottage. After researching, I tried two infrared heaters—next-day delivery and easy plug-in setup. I added four more and now the cottage is consistently warm with gentle, non-drying heat. Costs appear lower than her old system, and it’s instantly warm when needed.

Weston bedroom heater

I replaced old night storage heaters with two 700W rollers, one 400W built-in thermostat heater, and a wall-mounted picture heater. Delivered next Monday, setup was easy. Built-in thermostats maintain temperature, and the picture heater adds style. They’re neat, flexible, and silent, and the rollers can be moved for cleaning.

Home in Grantham

We had a lot of problems with the gas central heating in the house we recently moved to and after many callouts from engineers it was the case that the narrow piping was the problem. We did not want the disruption and mess of pulling up floorboards and channeling out walls, so we looked into alternative heating systems that are also energy efficient and look good.

After a lot of research, we discovered The Infrared Heater Co Ltd. and had a call with them to talk through the options and prices for different sizes. Once we received the heaters, bearing in mind we only had 3 working radiators in a 3-storey townhouse which was freezing cold inside at this point, we were very pleased with the design of them and once they got up to temperature, they were really effective and heated the spaces really well and evenly, much more so than standard radiators. The heat feels more natural and as you walk past you can feel the warmth as they heat the floor around them too.

Overall, we are really pleased with the radiators, and they look stylish in gloss white and take less space compared with radiators, and more importantly with increasing energy prices they are cheaper to run than traditional free-standing electric radiators. The service and delivery were really good too and we have been recommending the heaters to our neighbours in our road who are also having the same piping problems and they were really impressed with them.

Home in Ripley

We use three infrared panels powered by our solar export. Low wattage panels heat our north-facing rooms directly—best on sunny days for “free” warmth. A fourth with a thermostat in our son’s bedroom lets him set his own temperature. Easy to install, wall-mounted, safe for kids, silent, and fume-free—perfect for our home.

Ripley home heater

Home in Norfolk

We have heated our house with storage heaters for the last 25 years but when one finally stopped working late last year we realised new storage heaters, besides being very expensive also needed new extra wiring and therefore mess. So we decided to look elsewhere. A complete new radiator central heating system was not an option we wanted, because a boiler needs servicing each year, can break down meaning the whole house is frozen, (not just one room as an electric heater) and the radiators can leak.

After some research we decided to replace the large 3.5 kW storage heater with two 800 W glass infrared heaters mounted at an angle above two doors; they just plug into a normal 13 A socket. We are delighted they keep our room warmer than the old heater with similar running costs – and that is on day-rate electricity not cheap night-rate.

The heating is very pleasant, rather like warm sunshine, no noise and no vents to dust. The best thing being we can boost the heating easily at any time. They are easy to install and look great, they don’t interfere with the décor and leave floor space free. We also bought a panel heater on wheels which we will be wall mounting to replace another storage heater later in the year.

The Infrared Company were really helpful and delivery was very fast. We would highly recommend them and will certainly be using them again when we replace our other storage heaters.

Derby picture heater Derby white panel heater

Service was excellent with a small discount. I bought five heaters—picture, black, white vented, roll-up, and a smaller white panel. All arrived well-packaged, next-day, and with plugs (though I hard-wired them to wall switches). The roll-up model warms both sides so must hang clear of walls; the white vented panel is best for rapid, consistent heat. Economical, slim, and unobtrusive—ideal for hallways and easy to fit, with optional wheels. I’ll buy again.

Gwent Energy CIC

Gwent community hall heaters

To reduce wasted energy heating entire halls, we’re trialing five infrared heaters at Llanarth Village Hall. Infrared promises targeted warmth without pre-heating the whole building, ideal for solar + battery zero-carbon setups. Installation was straightforward: three in the kitchen and two in the meeting room. Despite COVID delays, staff feedback is positive. Next, we’ll expand to 40 more community halls across Gwent.

I first heard of infrared heating when speaking to my solar heating panel supplier—and he said it is marvelous—so I Googled the system and came across The Infrared Heating Company.

I could just say “and the rest is history” but I will expand… I looked at a few sites that sell infrared heating panels—but the one that stood out for me was The Infrared Heating Company—so after a reasonable amount of research and inquiries—I decided it was the system for me.

I believe that a lot of people have just one or two panels for additional heating where required and of course, the panels are well suited to that—but I wanted to have a complete central heating system and get rid of the radiators.

An electrician friend said—why not have just one to see if you like it—but I said no—my mind is made up to have a complete conversion.

Well my new system has been in a few weeks and of course, we are in quite a testing cold spell—sufficient for me to judge the performance and I am delighted to say it is really good—and as it is a heat akin to sunshine—without the harmful rays of course—it is really pleasant. My accommodation does include a fully windowed garden room and the infrared panel heats it perfectly.

The Infrared Heating Company was lovely to deal with—having patience with all my many queries and amendments to design—so that they were sure that I would be happy with the final choice of size and style.

The electricians that installed the system for me hard-wired all units into the loft of my bungalow and wired down to isolation switches in my hall cupboard—one switch for each panel—so that I have total control of the needs for each season—that is—say in autumn if it turns a bit chilly when you sit down for a bit of TV—just one unit where you are can be switched on for a little bit of comfort—perfect and you are only using the wattage of that one panel.

I cannot recommend this system highly enough—quite economical to buy and it is possible to install yourself—but if not just get a couple of electricians to quote.

Strangely not many people have heard of this system—including electricians—but from my experience so far it is a winner all round—neat and tidy clear glass panels hang from the ceiling—no dust-space taking radiators—furniture can be arranged better and if—like me—you are All-Electric it is more economical to run than other systems and I think actually with the hike in gas and oil prices it will probably contend well with the other fuels.

Of course The Infrared Heating Company does offer a full range and there are wall-hung panel heaters—free-standing plug-in heaters—all sorts—take a look at the Infrared Heating Company’s website and see the range for yourself.

I love the system I have—for so many reasons and let’s not forget the big one… how green am I?! Hats off to The Infrared Heating Company and many thanks for a very pleasant buying experience.
