Radiant Heat Panels
Infrared electric wall heaters are an excellent way to add supplemental heat to any room. Radiant heater panels work by using infrared heat to radiate warmth directly from the panel to the solid objects in the room. Not only are these wall-mounted radiant heat panels functional, but they are also a much more elegant and safe way to add supplemental infrared heating to an area than traditional space heaters. An infrared heating system is a great way to experience the comfort and luxury of radiant heating.

How do Radiant Heat Panel Heaters Work?
Have you ever felt warm standing outside in the cold winter sun? The sun's infrared rays heat you directly instead of heating the air around you. Wall-mounted electric heaters work the same way - they heat the walls, ceiling, and objects in a room. Those surfaces then release the warmth slowly and evenly.
Wall-mounted electric heaters provide a few advantages over gas or propane wall heaters:
- They are safer since there is no open flame or fumes.
- The heat output is more consistent.
- They can help reduce energy bills compared to heating the whole house.
- With no circulating air, there is less spread of dust and allergens.
WarmlyYours makes modern, stylish electric wall heaters to match any home's decor. Our infrared radiant panels provide all the benefits of zone heating for comfort and energy savings.

The Technology Behind Radiant Panel Heaters
Copper and Nano Silver Bar
Conductive polymer treatment on the copper connection as well as a special design of the nano silver bar, prevent hot spots and sparks as well as guaranteeing safety even in abnormal conditions or at very high surface temperatures.
Epoxy Ceramic Resin
Adapting high quality epoxy resin as the cover and bottom layer, our radiant panel heaters have a very good level of durability and no burning danger. Because the edges are perfectly sealed, there is no water leakage or electricity leakage risk. Being very thin, our panels can be installed in nearly any location.
Carbon Copper Polyimide Panel
Our patented carbon copper polyimide heating element enables outstanding safety, durability, and efficiency - making our infrared panels leaders in the industry. Compared to carbon fiber, our graphite mixture has superior heat resistance, low expansion coefficient, and thermal conductivity. Through precise formulation, we optimize ratios of carbon and graphite to achieve maximum heating efficiency for any power rating. This tailored combination of next-generation materials sets our infrared panels apart.

Radiant heat panels are designed for supplemental heating, not as a primary heat source. They work best to boost warmth in specific rooms or offset cold spots, but most homes require a central heating system for whole-home comfort.Why panels are supplemental:
- Coverage area: Each panel heats 50–150 sq.ft. (one room or zone)
- Wattage limits: 300–800W per panel (not enough for whole-home heating)
- Installation: Requires multiple panels for multiple rooms (costly for whole-home coverage)
Best use cases for supplemental heating:
- Cold rooms: Basements, sunrooms, garages, workshops
- Spot heating: Home offices, bathrooms, bedrooms
- Zone heating: Heat only occupied rooms (save energy)
- Seasonal use: Three-season rooms, vacation homes
- Supplement existing heat: Boost warmth without cranking up thermostat
When panels CAN be primary heat:
- Tiny homes: 200–400 sq.ft. spaces (1–2 panels sufficient)
- Well-insulated spaces: Modern, energy-efficient construction
- Mild climates: Regions with minimal heating needs
- Single-room dwellings: Studio apartments, ADUs
Sizing guidance:
Use our Heat Loss Calculator to determine if radiant panels can meet your heating needs or if they're best used as supplemental heat.
Yes, radiant heat panels are highly effective at providing supplemental heating. They use infrared technology to heat objects and people directly (like the sun), rather than heating the air, delivering instant warmth that feels natural and comfortable.How they work:

Real-world results: Homeowners report immediate warmth and lower energy bills after installation. Operating costs are just $0.05–$0.09 per hour. View customer showcases to see proven results.
Radiant heat panels work by emitting infrared radiation that heats objects and people directly, rather than heating the air. This mimics the warmth of the sun—you feel warm even though the air temperature hasn't changed.How it works step-by-step:
- Power activation: Panel receives electricity (plug-in or hardwired)
- Infrared emission: Heating element generates infrared radiation (invisible light waves)
- Direct heat transfer: Infrared waves travel through air and warm solid objects (walls, furniture, people)
- Object heat release: Warmed objects release heat slowly, maintaining consistent room temperature
- No air circulation: No fans, no dust, no allergen movement
Why infrared is effective:
- Instant warmth: You feel heat immediately (no waiting for air to warm up)
- Even distribution: Objects release heat gradually, eliminating cold spots
- Energy efficient: 100% of electricity converts to heat (no heat loss through ducts)
- Comfortable: Feels natural and gentle (like sunlight)
Comparison to traditional heating:
- Forced-air heating: Heats air, which rises to ceiling (inefficient, uneven)
- Space heaters: Heat air via convection (slow, circulates dust)
- Radiant panels: Heat objects directly (instant, efficient, allergy-friendly)
Radiant heat panels last 15–20+ years with minimal maintenance, making them a long-term investment in home comfort.Lifespan factors:
- No moving parts: No fans, motors, or mechanical components to wear out
- Solid-state heating: Heating element has no consumable parts
- Quality construction: WarmlyYours uses premium materials and UL/cUL certified components
- Low maintenance: No filters, no cleaning, no servicing required
Comparison to other heating:
- Radiant panels: 15–20+ years
- Space heaters: 3–5 years (fans and heating elements wear out)
- Forced-air systems: 15–20 years (require annual maintenance, filter changes)
How to maximize lifespan:
- Professional installation (ensures proper electrical connections for hardwired models)
- Use with thermostat (prevents unnecessary runtime and extends heating element life)
- Keep panels clean (dust surface annually with soft cloth)
- Avoid physical damage (glass models are durable but can crack if struck)

Install radiant heat panels on interior walls at least 6 inches from the floor and ceiling, positioned to face the area you want to heat. For best results, mount panels opposite cold sources (windows, exterior walls) and away from obstructions (furniture, curtains).Optimal placement by room:Bathrooms:
- Ember Mirror: Above vanity (dual-function heating + fog-free mirror)
- Ember Glass/Flex: On wall opposite shower/tub (warms entire room)
- Height: 4–6 feet from floor (eye level for mirrors, chest level for panels)
Bedrooms:
- Position: On wall opposite bed (heat radiates toward sleeping area)
- Avoid: Directly above bed (too much direct heat)
- Height: 3–5 feet from floor (optimal heat distribution)
Living rooms:
- Position: On interior wall facing seating area
- Avoid: Behind furniture or near windows (heat loss)
- Multiple panels: Space evenly for balanced coverage
Home offices:
- Position: On wall behind or beside desk (direct warmth to work area)
- Height: 3–4 feet from floor (warms seated person)
Basements/garages:
- Position: On interior walls or ceiling-mounted (heat rises from below)
- Multiple panels: May be needed for larger spaces
Installation guidelines:
- Clearances: 6 inches from floor, 6 inches from ceiling, 12 inches from corners
- Avoid: Behind curtains, furniture, or doors (blocks heat radiation)
- Orientation: Vertical or horizontal (both work equally well)
- Mounting options: Wall, ceiling, or stand (Ember Flex only)
Ceiling mounting:
- Best for: Rooms with limited wall space or high ceilings
- Heat direction: Radiates downward (warms floor and objects below)
- Clearance: 12 inches from ceiling edges
Stand mounting (Ember Flex only):
- Best for: Renters or temporary heating needs
- Placement: Position 3–4 feet from seating area
- Safety: Ensure stable surface, away from high-traffic areas
Pro tip: Use multiple smaller panels instead of one large panel for more even heat distribution and flexible zone heating. Request a free consultation for placement recommendations specific to your space.
