50 watts per square metre

If I want to use infrared heaters to heat a room, how many watts do we need to heat that room?

The answer is in the title - 50 watts per square metre!

Of course this assumes that you have a standard height of ceiling (around 2.4 metres), that the room doesn't have too many windows or glass doors to the outside, and that the room/building is insulated to modern standards.

If you have an old house, or if you french doors to the outside, or if it is overly draughty, or if you have very high ceilings, you may well need to use 80 watts per square metre or even more.

Please give Heather or myself a call on 01237 451759 if you want to discuss your own project.
