What does additional heating mean and when do we need it?

Additional heating does not replace the main heating system – it complements it. It is most commonly used when central heating does not provide enough warmth in all rooms, when certain spaces are used only occasionally, when fast heat is needed without heating the entire building, or when greater comfort and energy efficiency are desired.

An additional heating solution must be flexible, fast, and easy to use – this is exactly where infrared technology excels.

How does infrared heating work as additional heating?

Infrared heating works differently from conventional convection systems. Instead of heating the air, infrared panels emit radiant heat that directly warms people, walls, floors, furniture, and other surfaces.

The warmth is similar to sunlight – natural, pleasant, and immediately noticeable. When an infrared panel is switched on in the room you are using, you feel the heat almost instantly, without heating the entire home.

Advantages of infrared heating as an additional heat source

• Instant warmth exactly where it is needed
• No complex installation – no pipes, water, or construction work
• Energy efficiency – you heat only the occupied area
• Silent and healthy operation – no fans or dust circulation
• High flexibility – especially with mobile MOVE panels

Infraboost aluminium infrared panels by EA Elektronika

Infraboost aluminium infrared panels are designed as a reliable and elegant solution for additional or even primary heating. Their aluminium construction ensures fast heat-up and even heat distribution, which is particularly important for supplementary heating.

They are suitable for living rooms, bedrooms, home offices, hallways, offices, and holiday homes – anywhere quick, targeted warmth is required.

Key advantage: Infraboost MOVE – mobile additional heating

When it comes to additional heating, the Infraboost MOVE series stands out as one of the most practical solutions available. MOVE panels are designed for freestanding use on stable stands, allowing them to be placed anywhere in the room and easily moved between spaces.

Why are MOVE panels ideal for additional heating?

• Freestanding design with stable stands
• Easy relocation – one panel for multiple rooms
• Placement anywhere in the room without installation
• Perfect for rental properties and temporary heating needs

A MOVE panel can be used in the living room today, in the bedroom tonight, and in the home office tomorrow – without any permanent changes.

Built-in LED thermostat in the heating surface

A distinctive feature of the MOVE series is the built-in LED thermostat, integrated directly into the heating surface. The white LED display is elegant, modern, and clearly visible even from a distance, allowing simple and intuitive temperature control without additional external thermostats.

This gives you full control over heating directly on the panel – fast, clear, and practical.

Mobile or wall-mounted – maximum flexibility

Although MOVE panels are primarily designed as mobile heaters, classic wall mounting is of course also possible. This means the same panel can be used as a freestanding additional heater or permanently mounted on the wall, depending on your needs.

Choosing the correct infrared panel power

Selecting the correct infrared panel power is essential for comfortable and efficient additional heating. Before purchasing, the required heating output should be calculated based on room size, insulation quality, and usage. A panel that is too weak will not provide the desired effect, while an oversized panel leads to unnecessary energy consumption.

For this reason, we recommend using the heating power calculator, available in the product tab of each Infraboost heating panel.

Where and how to use infrared panels as additional heating?

Infrared panels are ideal as additional heating in many situations: next to a sofa or dining table, in a home office corner, along cold exterior walls, in rooms with large glass surfaces, or in transitional and occasionally used spaces.

With MOVE panels, the key advantage is the ability to easily move the heater to the exact location where warmth is currently needed.

Energy consumption and costs

Because infrared heating works in a targeted way, it is very energy efficient as an additional heat source. You heat only when and where necessary, resulting in lower energy consumption, higher comfort, and better control over heating costs.
