What Affects Heating Running Costs?
Running costs depend on building heat demand, room temperatures, operating schedule, controls and electricity tariff. Compare estimates using the same assumptions and distinguish installed power from measured energy consumption.

Frequently Asked Questions
Heating films (often called infrared heating films) are ultra-thin electric heating sheets made from layers of plastic film with a conductive carbon element inside. When electricity passes through the film, it gently warms up and emits infrared heat.
iHelios systems are designed for safe indoor use when installed correctly and used with approved controls. Electrical installation should follow iHelios guidance and applicable UK electrical regulations.
Running costs depend on building heat demand, room temperatures, operating schedules, controls and electricity tariff. Installed power alone does not establish annual consumption.
Compatible connected thermostats support app control. Available functions depend on the thermostat, gateway and configured integration. Check the model documentation before ordering.
A system can be designed as main heating where room heat loss, available installation area and film output allow. Request a project-specific design assessment.
