Farewell radiators? BBC Featured Infrared Wallpaper

Last year, iHelios was proudly featured in the article "Farewell Radiators" and highlighted in a BBC News segment.
The feature celebrated advances in eco-friendly and energy-saving heating technologies — and the exposure has been fantastic.
We’ve received a lot of calls, questions, and interest since then.

However, a few inaccuracies mentioned in the coverage have been coming up in conversations.
We want to clarify some important details to make sure you have the correct information.

Air Source Heat Pumps vs. iHelios Infrared Heating

The recent article also compared infrared heating to Air Source Heat Pumps (ASHPs), especially regarding cost.
While replacing existing central heating with IR technology may involve some costs, ASHPs require much more:

  • More space for installation

  • Regular, ongoing maintenance

  • Higher upfront disruption

In contrast, iHelios systems offer a low-profile design, easy, quick installation, and virtually no maintenance.

In Conclusion

With over five years in the market and more than 3,000 successful installations, iHelios continues to deliver innovative, sustainable heating solutions.
We are committed to quality, customer satisfaction, and redefining the future of eco-friendly heating.
