Conservatory Heating

Conservatories are wonderful living spaces, but they are notoriously difficult to heat. When the air is warmed by radiators or convector heaters, for example, the hot air will rise to the roof, where it is useless and wasted. And if you use your conservatory only occasionally, it can take hours just to take the chill off. In really cold weather you may end up not using it at all, which is a real shame.

But there is a solution, which will allow you to get the full benefit of your conservatory whenever you feel like it. SunSwitch Quartz Halogen heaters work instantly and deliver amazing comfort levels in seconds, even in a stone-cold building. This is possible because our heaters produce short wavelength infra-heat that cuts through the air to warm objects, rather than the air itself. Just like the sun. The most natural form of heating known to man. And its kinder to plants, too. Not only will your heaters look good, but with low running costs (from as little as 9p per hour depending on model) you will be able to enjoy your conservatory all year round. Which is what you wanted it for!

How should SunSwitch heaters be installed?
SunSwitch heaters should be mounted between c. 2.1m and 5 m height (depending on model) and angled downwards at approximately 45°. For more information please view the product specifications on the products page. Heaters can be mounted easily on any available wall or suspended from above. In some situations it is worth installing SunSwitch heaters above external doors as they make sn attractive, very economical alternative to a door curtain heater.

How many heaters will I need?
Usually, we find our heaters are about twice as effective as other types of space heater for any given power. Typically, a 1.5kW heater will provide comfortable conditions in a 6 x 4m conservatory whereas you might need 3kW of convected heat. However, performance does depend on the design of the conservatory, type of glazing etc. And if you plan on having the doors open all the time, you may need more heat.

Can I control the temperature?
Temperature control is usually advisable, because the heaters are so powerful. We strongly recommend the use of our VR1 Voltage Regulators for complete control and energy savings when the heating is turned down. We do not generally recommend the use of thermostats or PIRs.

If in doubt please call us to discuss your requirements.
