Infrared Heating Installation
Project location
Five-Rivers Health & Wellbeing Centre
The Heating System Upgrade project at Five Rivers Salisbury aimed to replace the outdated electric heating system, which was insufficient in providing adequate warmth for staff and visitors, leading to discomfort and increased energy costs. To address these challenges, Five Rivers Salisbury partnered with Energy Efficient Solutions Group to assess the existing heating setup and implement the new infrared heating solution. This upgrade not only enhanced heating performance but also improved energy efficiency as infrared panels require less energy to achieve the same level of warmth.

Challenges
Five Rivers Salisbury faced significant challenges due to poorly insulated windows and outdated electric heaters, resulting in uncomfortably cold conditions, particularly during the winter months. This situation not only compromised the comfort of the space but also detracted from the overall experience for both staff and visitors. Acknowledging the urgency of the issue, the client required a rapid turnaround for the project, as the installation needed to be completed while the area was temporarily closed to the public.
Solutions
Following a detailed site survey at Five Rivers Salisbury, we conducted heating calculations based on the area and square metres of the room to determine the optimal requirements for effective heating. This analysis was crucial in identifying the necessary specifications for the heating system to achieve a comfortable and consistent temperature throughout the space.
With the results from our calculations, we were able to specify the appropriate infrared heating panels that would meet the client’s needs. This informed our comprehensive design, which was tailored to the client’s requirements, ensuring that the heating solution not only addressed the immediate comfort issues but also aligned with their long-term goals for energy efficiency and sustainability.
EES Group assigned a dedicated project manager for this project, who adopted a hands-on approach by collaborating closely with the installation team. This proactive partnership ensured that we were able to mobilise on-site promptly as soon as we received the client’s approval. As a result of this strategic collaboration, we efficiently met the project deadline, successfully equipping Five Rivers Salisbury with a modern and effective heating solution that significantly enhanced both comfort and operational efficiency.
Technology
Infrared technology efficiently heats objects and people directly within its range, minimising energy waste by focusing on direct heating rather than warming the air, ensuring that no heat is lost.
The infrared panels can be easily controlled via a thermostat, which can be integrated into both new and existing systems, providing complete control over the heating process.
Additionally, infrared heating has the potential to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by up to 50%. Unlike gas-powered heaters, infrared systems do not emit harmful pollutants such as carbon monoxide or nitrogen dioxide, contributing to improved indoor air quality and respiratory health.
Key Technical Features:
- Energy Efficiency: Infrared panels use less energy compared to traditional heating systems, potentially reducing your energy bills.
- Quick Warm-Up Time: With instant heat emission, our panels provide immediate comfort without waiting for the air to warm up.
- Safety Features: Built with overheat protection and high-quality materials, our panels ensure safe operation for peace of mind.
- Flexible Installation: Our panels can be mounted on walls or ceilings, allowing for versatile heating solutions in any space.
- Low Maintenance: Infrared panels require minimal maintenance, ensuring long-term reliability and performance.
