I am very pleased with my new Herschel infrared heaters. I was looking to replace my obsolete storage heaters, and infrared heaters were recommended to me by friends. I found the Herschel UK website very clear and helpful, and I was given great advice when I phoned to check a few details. Delivery was very quick and everything arrived well packaged. My electricians found the panels and controllers easy to install. I am particularly pleased with the controllability of this type of heating and the pleasant feeling of the heat, which is like the heat from the sun. Also the panels are very thin and minimal in appearance.

We’re absolutely delighted with all of our infrared heaters. We started by installing these into our summerhouse and were so impressed by the glorious heat that they give out that we have started fitting them throughout our entire home.
They’re an ideal solution for our remote property, one that has no vehicle access, and is in a village that does not benefit from gas. So our only solutions were storage heaters or air / ground source heat pumps.
We are delighted with the Herschel heaters that we’ve installed, they are cost effective, easy to install, and allow us to transform our home on a room-by-room basis as opposed to having to find the huge cost of installing some of the alternative systems.
They also have the huge added benefit of preventing condensation, reducing damp and generally being vastly better for your health than typical radiator based heating systems.
We absolutely love them.

Thanks for your feedback James. It’s great to hear that you are delighted. We agree that the heat is glorious 🙂

The heaters work well and you all were v helpful. I’ve not had any more complaints about it being too cold in the flat!
Clive Washington –

Just put 2 400W heaters on the ceiling of the room above a newly built oak framed garage. They were very easy to install with the supplied brackets, but just take your time to work out where to position the brackets in relation to the final position of the heaters. We placed a 13 amp socket in the loft space to keep everything neat and tidy as you can’t hide the socket or spur behind the units themselves.
The 2 heaters paired seamlessly with the T-MT mains thermostat to create the perfect solution.
The heat produced is a gentle warm heat, and even at 16-18 degrees the room feels pleasantly warm.
Customer Service –
Thanks for your feedback Andy. Great to know that your heaters were easy to set up with the thermostat and are keeping the room a pleasant temperature.

I’m a huge fan of the Herschel Infrared radiators which I’ve been putting into my buy-to-let flats in London over the last 8 years. Whenever one of my gas combi-boilers fails, I immediately look to take the system out, take all those wet water radiators out, all those pipes and all that goes, I put in another form of hot water heating and then the Herschel Infrared radiators. By putting it up on the ceiling it does give more wall space. The previous radiators often get bumped or draped with clothes by the tenant which is not great as that obviously causes condensation. In the bathroom it’s doing its job well as there’s absolutely no sign of any mould or condensation which is a frequent problem in bathrooms.
Once I put one in I’ve been rather keen to put them in everywhere else. Once they are in there is no further cost, I’ve never had a radiator go wrong on me. Very easy, very efficient and very good for the environment. It gives a wonderful radiant heat, it’s a very attractive and pleasant environment to live. I think Herschel and their infrared are definitely the way forward.

We purchased a 1100w XLS frameless white panel for our lounge, love it. Very different from the normal radiator heating. A much better heat, with no drafts from cold air circulation. Quite tricky to put up on ceiling and have suggested that a click and fit type power set up design would be better suited to the domestic market, would also take out having cable showing. Will be installing this type of heating throughout our home as very impressed with both Herschel products, staff and their customer service.

Thanks for all your feedback on our products and customer service Tania.
Tania (verified owner) –
Very happy with the XLS 400 w frameless white panel. It provides a lovely warming heat in our bathroom. The staff were very helpful and went out of their way to answer all the questions I had. Was so impressed that we’re going to fit the panels in all our rooms when we remove our old gas range heating system!
Customer Service –
Lovely to hear your comments thank you Tania. Please do let us know when you need assistance with your other rooms.
Brian Harrisson (verified owner) –
Excellent fast delivery, good instructions. Heater was easy to mount on the ceiling.
It’s performance was just want we wanted to heat ” the cold end of our kitchen”.
Since buying it, we have dramticly reduced our use of our gas central heating.
We will be buying more panels for our victorian terrace in the future. The pannels give a much nicer heat source and fit in with our plans to reduce our use of gas and help save the planet
Customer Service –
Thank you for your comments Brian. Delighted to hear that our heaters are a good solution for your victorian terrace.

I bought two 600w XLS panels together with a Herschel T-MT thermostat for my garden/AV room. They were easy to install and paired easily. The only issue I had was getting the app to work, but I got there in the end. I can now control the heating while sat in the house, or from anywhere . The name badges on mine are upside down. I guess some of you may be thinking I’ve hung them the wrong way up, but sadly not. They’re the right way up with the control unit at the bottom. I’ve confirmed this with Kate at Herschel. But it’s only a small gripe and the only reason why I didn’t give 5 stars. They warm the room quicker than I expected, but I will wait to see how well they perform when it’s really cold. Design wise they’re the best I’ve seen And I’ve looked at many different panels. I’d like to thank Jane at Herschel for all her advice. And for her patience with my many phone calls. So if your looking for a heating solution for a garden room or office these may well be the answer.
Customer Service –
Thanks Peter. It’s fantastic to hear these are the best design you’ve seen. We pride ourselves on our customer service and are pleased you were happy with this service from Jane, our apologies that our normal attention to detail was missed on the stickers.
Jacqueline cammaerts (verified owner) –
Extraordinary. Easy to install, easy to programme and the heat is wonderful. Our friends love them too. They are so impressed as they’ve never heard of infra red heating but they are thinking about it now.
Customer Service –
Thanks for your great comments Jacqueline. Fantastic to hear. We love the feel of heat from them too.
Trisha Goodchild –
We installed an Herschel panel heater 4 weeks ago in a new conservatory and would totally recommend infrared heating in general and Herschel in particular. It arrived swiftly and efficiently and creates a comfortable welcoming ambience. The control system works extremely well. The heater is proving pleasingly economical and looks great- it has been much admired by visitors. Having an ageing boiler, we are considering eventually installing them throughout the house. Many thanks Herschel.

I started to plan my home refurbishment in the Summer of 2016. My priorities were comfort and sustainability. The project involved insulating an old, solid stone house, upgrading the glazing, electrics and heating, plus an extension. I visited Andy and was able to see infrared heating panels and solar working together, so decided to go for both.
Although it’s early days, the heating seems very economical to run. The solar contributes to running cost savings and we also use the spare solar electricity to heat water so my home is future-proofed. The whole house is zoned and controlled with Herschel iQ thermostats so I have the heat I like when and where needed. The house is extremely comfortable, and because of the insulation and infrared panels, we operate the system at only 16-18degC air temperature, but still feel warm.
We experienced a range of challenges during the project, but the infrared was the simplest system to integrate with the programme, and the support from the Herschel team was exemplary at all times. The Select XL mirror units, and ceiling mounted panels look great and free up lots of wall space, which really helps in some of the rooms. I also like the zero maintenance of infrared, it’s both hi-tech yet very simple to live with. I’d urge anyone undertaking a new-build or refurbishment project to get in touch with Herschel and go for infrared!
Nicola Nemec –
We installed Select XL ceiling mounted heaters in our extension, rather than extend the existing central heating system. This is our third winter with the system and we haven’t looked back. The cost of the system and installation was the lowest of the options we reviewed, and running costs are competitive and affordable. Because the heaters are ceiling mounted, we have more wall space for furniture. We also prefer the gentle warmth of infrared, rather than the CHS which costs more to run, and is generally too warm or not warm enough! Nicola, Co. Antrim
Leading student accommodation provider –
Occupier feedback from a leading student accommodation provider (on Select XL versus existing electric convector) May 2016
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 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 heat loss:
“Not a problem”. “The room seemed to stay warm for a long time”.
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”.

We are delighted! The panels are so unobtrusive that visitors are surprised when they are pointed out, the Building Control inspector remarked on their efficiency, the electrician has said that he will be installing one or more in his home! We thoroughly recommend Herschel as a company that you can rely on. Hugh Richards
