Herschel Advantage IR 1300 / 1950 Watts

Advantage IR Commercial Infrared Heater

UK-manufactured infrared heating for workstations, packing bays, industrial areas and commercial spaces.

The Advantage IR infrared heater range is designed for businesses needing targeted, efficient warmth in practical working environments. Manufactured in the UK, these heaters are ideal for commercial premises, workshops, warehouses, production areas and workstations where heating specific occupied zones makes far more sense than heating an entire building volume.

Available in 1300W and 1950W outputs, Advantage IR heaters can be wall or ceiling mounted to deliver comfort heat exactly where it is needed.

Why Infrared Works in Commercial Spaces

Traditional warm-air systems often waste energy heating unused air space, especially in buildings with higher ceilings, open doors or changing occupancy. Infrared works differently by warming people, tools, floors and surfaces directly.

• Heat focused on occupied zones

• Excellent for intermittent-use areas

• Reduced wasted heat

• Fast perceived warmth at workstation level

Ideal Applications

• Workstations

• Packing bays

• Production lines

• Warehouse zones

• Loading areas

• Commercial workshops

• Studios and trade spaces

Flexible Mounting Options

The Advantage IR can be mounted on the wall or ceiling, allowing you to position heat exactly where staff are working.

• Wall mounted directional heating

• Ceiling mounted space-saving layout

• Keeps floors clear

• Helps reduce accidental interference

Smart Zoning = Lower Running Costs

These heaters are particularly effective when used as part of a zoned commercial heating system. Heat only the areas in active use rather than entire buildings.

• Lower electricity waste

• Improved comfort control

• Better efficiency during shifts

• Ideal for part-occupied buildings

Design & Build Quality

With a choice of white elements in a silver body or black elements in a black body, the Advantage IR offers a cleaner, more professional appearance than bulky industrial heaters.

• Silent operation

• No fan noise

• Simple electric installation

• No oil or gas infrastructure needed

• Recyclable packaging

• Low routine maintenance

Safety & Usage Notes

The heating elements reach high temperatures and are not fitted with a protective grille. These models are intended for commercial / industrial environments only and should be installed where accidental contact is not possible.

• Not for domestic use

• Install away from accidental contact zones

• Avoid impact-risk locations

• Professional installation recommended

Performance in Airflow

In areas with strong air movement or wind, heated coverage may reduce by approximately 30–50%. In these environments we recommend mounting at the lowest safe height and increasing heater numbers where required.

Is it suitable for homes?

No. These models are designed for commercial environments only.

Does it make noise?

No. It operates silently with no fan noise.

Can it reduce running costs?

Yes. Zoned infrared heating can significantly reduce wasted energy compared with heating full building volumes.

Do I need controls?

Yes. Timers and thermostats improve efficiency and comfort.
