Will one panel be enough for my office?

A single correctly sized panel heats a typical box or double bedroom-sized office; larger rooms may need two.

Can I control it from my phone?

Smart thermostats and plugs let you schedule the panel around your working hours.

Is one infrared panel enough for a home office?

For a typical small room with reasonable insulation, one correctly sized panel with its own thermostat is usually enough. Larger rooms, garden offices and rooms with extensive glazing are sized individually.

Does an infrared panel in a home office count as a business expense?

That depends on your circumstances and how the room is used, so it is a question for your accountant. We can supply an itemised invoice showing the room and equipment installed.

Infrared heating for home offices

Heating a single home-office room with the whole-house boiler is wasteful. An infrared panel warms just that room, instantly, during working hours — often the cheapest way to stay comfortable while working from home.

Quick answer

Is infrared heating good for home offices?

Usually, yes — you avoid heating unused rooms and only pay to warm the space you are working in.

Why infrared suits home offices

Typical building: A single room used during the day while the rest of the house is unheated.

Heat one room without firing the whole central-heating system.
Instant warmth at the start of the working day.
Slimline panel that mounts on the wall or ceiling.
Simple thermostat or smart-plug control.

Typical specification

A single wall- or ceiling-mounted panel sized to the room, on a thermostat or smart control.

Sizing guide: Around 60–100 W/m² depending on insulation.

How we design the system

A home office is designed as a single small zone that runs independently of the rest of the house. A panel above or slightly in front of the desk, sized for the room's insulation and glazing, gives comfort within minutes of starting work. Its own thermostat and schedule matter more than raw output, because the point is heating one room during working hours instead of the whole house. Garden offices and loft conversions are sized separately, as their fabric and heat losses rarely match the rest of the property.

What it costs to run

The saving in a home office comes from not firing central heating for one occupied room. Running a single panel through a working day typically costs less than a boiler cycle serving the whole house, and the difference grows if the rest of the household is out. Where the room is a garden office on a long supply run or a poorly insulated loft, running cost is dominated by fabric, so insulation improvements are worth pricing alongside the heating.
