What are the best infrared heaters for a home office?

With 44% of people now working from home in some capacity, the need for a functional and well heated home office is more important than ever. Whether you’ve transformed your spare room, converted your loft, or built yourself a cosy garden office, you’re going to need a heating solution that can adapt to your needs without breaking the bank. Enter, infrared heaters. Efficient, DIY-friendly and maintenance free, they’re primed to deliver soothing warmth for those long hours spent at your desk. So, if you’re looking for the ultimate selection of infrared heaters to elevate your home office experience, we’ve got you covered.

Why infrared heaters are the perfect fit for your home office

Quiet & discreet

Forget the distracting clatter of central heating or the constant hum of air source heat pumps, infrared heaters are completely silent while in operation. Their slimline, compact builds blend seamlessly into your workspace, allowing for total concentration while you work.

Independent heating

With no moving parts, each heater operates as a standalone unit. That way, you can keep your office comfortable without wasting energy heating the rest of the house.

Easy installation

There’s no plumbing involved with infrared. In fact, most are DIY-friendly straight out of the box! With all fixtures and fittings included, you don’t have to worry about hidden extras or costly callout fees.

Combats damp

The way infrared works means it naturally combats moisture build-up. So, if you have a home office in your damp-prone attic room or in a conservatory susceptible to condensation, infrared’s ability to bypass heating the air and instead sink deeply into your surroundings prevents damp and mould from taking hold.

Convenient control

Personalising your comfort is a breeze. Whether you prefer remote control, thermostat precision, or WiFi app connectivity, you can finetune settings effortlessly without having to get up from your chair.
