Is infrared heating expensive to run? Per unit, yes. And we would rather tell you now than let you find out in January.
What decides the bill is how much heat the room loses, how many hours you heat it, and whether you heat only the rooms you use.
One 10 m² living room with one 750 W panel: we estimate about £92 a year, around 38p a day. That is about 5 heating hours a day over a 240 day season, the panel drawing about 38% of the time, at 27p/kWh, a fixed rate we set just above Ofgem's price cap when we chose it (26.32p, October 2026).
