During the Grand Designs show at the NEC in 2019 we were discussing our in ceiling Infrared Heating mats with a family on our stand. Soon after they presented us plans and asked us to calculate the heating requirements for their own new Grand Design build.
One of Jigsaw's main goals is to reduce the amount of pollution and wasted energy produced by our homes. We are working towards zero CO2, zero waste, high-efficiency heating inline with The Future Home Standards, 2019
We’re experts in Infrared Heating. We have been involved in the development of infrared heating since the early days.
It's true that beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but, but.... Hands up who's in love with their ugly radiators?
Yeah, that's right, the ugly white box strapped to your wall. Uh huh, the ones that get in the way of where you want to put your furniture. Those butt ugly radiators that make a lot of people sneeze...
We've been brought up on convection heating and we've been conditioned that electric heating (all electric heating) is bad and expensive. It's not.
Convection heat and infrared heat are different beasts. It's important to understand the difference. Click here to brush up on What is the difference between convection and infrared heat?
We all want that cosy feeling, don't we? Efficient heating is part of the solution. How do you go from heating which doesn't do the job to smart efficient heating?
As a leading manufacturer of smart infrared heaters, we get asked a lot of questions relating to the technology.
We are always happy to answer questions to help our customers understand the technology. Infrared heating could provide a much more efficient and cost effective way to heat your home.
Here's the basics.
Churches are difficult buildings to heat. An understatement perhaps, church heating is a challenge to most.
Old buildings, huge spaces, poor or no insulation. People sitting still. Not a great combination.
Many churches are using ancient boilers together with a radiator based system of some description. This is both difficult to maintain and hugely expensive to run.
Can you accurately forecast the weather? If not, that's one reason to replace storage heaters.
Do you want to heat your house when it's already too warm? No? There's another reason to replace storage heaters.
Do you like taking up valuable wall space with ugly big white boxes? No? ... you get the idea.
Storage heaters are an old technology (and by the way, those Fischer radiators you see advertised everywhere are just prettied up storage heaters).
They had their time. That time is not now.
