Get in touchDirect acting panel heaters
Due to the decarbonising electrical grid, direct acting panel heaters are being increasingly specified as a compliant solution alongside low carbon hot water systems, such as hot water heat pumps, to provide for space heating requirements within new residential developments. Their flexibility also makes them idea for commercial and refurbishment projects.
Direct acting panel heaters are 100% efficient at the point of use, easy to install and can be specified with a range of electronic controls and aesthetics. The ‘greener grid’ also allows for a single service to be introduced into a building, as electrical connections cover the needs for the heating as well as energy for appliances.
