Ecosun S+ High Output Radiant Panel Space Heater

ECOSUN S+ High Output Infrared Radiant Panel Heater

High-level infrared heating for commercial, industrial and large open-plan spaces.

The ECOSUN S+ radiant panel heater is a high-output infrared heating solution designed to provide efficient, comfortable warmth in commercial and industrial buildings. It is particularly effective in large-volume spaces where conventional warm air heating systems are often uneconomic, slow to respond and expensive to run.

Designed for high-level mounting, the ECOSUN S+ delivers radiant heat directly to people, work zones and surfaces below, making it ideal for spaces that require targeted heat without sacrificing floor or wall space.

Ideal for Commercial & Industrial Buildings

The ECOSUN S+ is well suited to environments where conventional air-based heating struggles to perform efficiently.

• Supermarkets and retail spaces

• Gymnasiums and sports facilities

• Showrooms and commercial interiors

• Factories and workshops

• Warehouses and large industrial units

• Large open-plan buildings

For project planning, see our Warehouse & Workshop Heating Guide and Heating for Offices & Commercial Interiors Guide.

Why Infrared Works in Large Spaces

Traditional heating systems attempt to warm the air, which is often inefficient in large, drafty or high-ceiling spaces. The ECOSUN S+ works differently by using radiant heat to warm people and surfaces directly.

• Localised heating for workstations and occupied zones

• Less wasted heat in large-volume spaces

• Better comfort at lower ambient air temperatures

• Lower running costs compared with convection heating in many applications

To understand how this works, see our Infrared Heating Guide.

Commercial Advantages

Targeted zone heating – warm only the areas in use

High-level mounting – keeps floor and wall space free

Reduced dust movement – no fan-driven air circulation

Draft-free comfort – no convection currents

Low maintenance design – suitable for demanding commercial environments

Because infrared primarily warms the fabric and occupied area below, higher ventilation and extract rates have less impact on performance than with conventional warm air systems.

Design & Construction

The ECOSUN S+ is constructed using a rod heating element encapsulated within a special aluminium extrusion profile. The aluminium surface is treated with a silicating process that increases its effective surface area and improves radiant heat emission.

• High-efficiency radiant output

• Durable commercial construction

• Low maintenance operation

• Designed for long service life

Installation Options

The ECOSUN S+ is designed for high-level commercial installation and can be fitted in different ways depending on the building layout.

• Horizontal ceiling mounting with auxiliary frame

• Suspended on drop rods

• Suspended on chains

• Only 60mm deep for a neat high-level installation

Minimum Installation Distances

Due to the high power outputs, the following minimum installation distances must be observed:

From radiant surfaces (up to 260°C): 1000mm

From top edge of panel: 100mm

From wall: 1500mm

From floor: 3500mm

Always follow the manufacturer’s installation guidance and ensure the system is installed by a suitably qualified professional.

Energy Efficiency & Controls

When correctly sized and used as part of a zoned heating strategy, the ECOSUN S+ can help reduce wasted energy in larger buildings.

For better zoning and control, see our Commercial Heating Thermostats Guide and our Commercial Infrared Heating Running Costs Guide.

FAQ's

What is the ECOSUN S+ radiant panel heater?

It is a high-output infrared heating panel designed to provide powerful radiant warmth in large or demanding commercial spaces.

Is the ECOSUN S+ energy efficient?

Yes. Infrared heating reduces wasted energy by warming people and surfaces directly, helping lower running costs in large spaces.

Where is the ECOSUN S+ best used?

It is ideal for warehouses, workshops, factories, showrooms, gymnasiums and other commercial or industrial buildings.

Does it create air movement or noise?

No. The ECOSUN S+ operates silently without circulating air, improving comfort and reducing dust movement.

Can it be used as the main heat source?

Yes. When correctly sized and installed, it can provide primary heating in suitable commercial and industrial spaces.

Why is high-level mounting useful?

High-level mounting keeps walls and floors clear, reduces the risk of accidental damage and allows heat to be directed into the occupied area below.
