This Ecostrad Opus iQ infrared heater is designed primarily for ceiling mounted fitting. The 270w panel can be used in ceiling grids and simply slots into place with no additional fixtures needed. Otherwise, it must be purchased with either the direct mounting kit or the suspension mounting kit. These kits are sold separately. Ecostrad Opus iQ Infrared Ceiling Panels can be wall mounted if desired but due to their lower wattages, the stated ‘heats up to’ areas will be reduced. Please see our dedicated Opus iQ wall mounted range for heaters that are specially designed for this use.
The signal range between the Opus iQ receiver and the temperature sensor is 5m. If it is out of this range, the heater may not pair with the sensor.
Opus panels can be installed in bathroom zones 2 or 3, however, they must be hardwired to a fused spur by a professional electrician. This is not a DIY task. Always defer to the manufacturer’s guidelines regarding the bathroom suitability of any product.
Please take care when installing multiple electric heaters to avoid overloading the ring main of your property. If you are unsure, always consult a professional electrician, who will be able to hardwire them to the mains via a fused spur if necessary.

Warranty

Ecostrad Opus iQ infrared ceiling panels are one of the most discreet heating solutions available, offering a fitting that keeps them mounted both out of sight and out of reach. They direct their heat down to the room below for a maximised spread of warmth and make a great choice for domestic and commercial properties.
The Opus emits a gentle heat called far infrared, which is absorbed by the fabric of your property, keeping rooms warmer for longer. Unlike convection heaters, infrared isn’t affected by air movement and provides an enduring form of warmth that heats rooms using less energy. Opus panels use a carbon crystal film element that efficiently conducts heat and allows the appliance to be extra lightweight. These elements are covered with a patented coating that’s fire resistant, protecting the elements and allowing for improved heat conduction. Ecostrad’s premium Opus panels have a layer of polyurethane insulation at the rear to prevent heat loss to the wall and ensure warmth is directed out into the room.
The biggest strength of the Opus iQ is that it’s WiFi ready out of the box – all you need to do is set up the heater then download the Smart Life app to your phone or tablet. Each heater has a receiver that connects directly to your router so no extra accessories are needed. Once it’s paired to your home network, you can then connect it to the app and program your heater from anywhere in the world with a simple swipe and tap of your phone screen. The Smart Life app allows you to create a custom schedule for every day of the week, setting multiple heating intervals that are timed down to each individual minute. The app even lets you adjust your heating from the comfort of your chair with its integrated Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant voice control.
Opus iQ infrared heating panels are supplied with their own wireless temperature sensor which relays the ambient temperature of your room to the app. Each sensor can be paired with an unlimited number of heaters, giving you the freedom to group heaters together so that they follow the same schedule. The sensor can be either wall mounted or used with the desk stand provided. If you would prefer to wire the panel into a different external thermostat, or if you want to use it manually, a bypass switch on the rear of the heater can be used to suspend the connection with the supplied controller.
These Opus iQ panels can be installed in a number of different ways: you can purchase them with a direct mounting kit for a fitting that’s tight to the ceiling, or purchase them with a suspension kit which can be the better choice for high-ceilinged rooms. Our smallest 270w panel is also suitable for installation in a standard office ceiling grid, in which case, it can simply be slotted into place without the need for any extra fittings.
Opus iQ infrared ceiling panels are able to use a lower wattage to heat rooms compared to their wall mounted counterparts due to their fitting location. As they’re installed on the ceiling, they stay warmer for longer because heat naturally rises to the top of the room; this means they don’t need to use as much power to maintain the same temperature. By opting for a ceiling mounted heating solution, you can warm interiors using less energy overall which means even bigger long-term savings on running costs.
Ecostrad Opus iQ infrared ceiling panels are designed to be as versatile as possible and can be installed in three different ways to suit the space you need to heat:
Direct mounted to the ceiling When purchased with the direct mounting kit, these panels can be installed so that they’re fixed tight to the surface of the ceiling, offering an unobtrusive look that blends in with your interior décor. This type of fitting is great for rooms with a standard ceiling height. Suspended from the ceiling Purchase the suspension kit if you have a high-ceilinged property and need to bring the panels closer to the floor. The kit comes supplied with wires that can be cut to the required length so you can easily keep the panels at the ideal height. Installed in a ceiling grid The 270w infrared panel in the Accent IR range is just the right size to fit into suspended ceiling grids in offices and other commercial locations. When used in this way, it will neatly slot into place without the need to purchase any installation kits.
The Ecostrad Opus iQ’s WiFi connectivity allows you to control your heaters from anywhere in the world so you can adjust your heating whenever or wherever you please. Programming your heating is easy with the Smart Life app – its user-friendly interface lets you set a custom schedule for every day of the week and fine-tune your start and end times down to the minute. Create multiple heating intervals so every part of your home can stay in perfect sync with your lifestyle. The Smart Life app can also group heaters together so that they follow the same routine. Program your living room infrared panels to heat in time for when you arrive home and set all of your bedroom heaters to switch on later when you’re ready for bed. Whatever your routine, the Opus iQ will always keep in step with your habits, and if you need to react to a sudden change in plans, your home heating is only ever as far as your phone.
Controlling your heater really can be as easy as that with the Opus iQ’s voice control compatibility. Designed to work with Amazon and Google Home smart speakers, you can adjust temperatures and switch heaters on and off with a simple voice command. It’s a fantastic choice if you need your heaters to integrate with an existing smart home system or if you simply want the option of hands-free control. The Smart Life app even allows you to set a custom name for each heater in your property so you can refer to them in a way that’s more intuitive.
If you have another control system you want to wire the heater into, all you have to do is use the bypass switch on the rear of the Opus iQ panel. This switch breaks the connection with the wireless thermostat and allows the heater to follow the instructions your external controller, so you’re free to change how you manage your heating further down the line.
