How Much Does iHelios Infrared Heating Cost Per m²?

When people first explore iHelios infrared heating, one of the most common questions we hear is:

How much iHelios cost per square metre?

It sounds like a simple question, but the truth is that there isn’t a single, fixed cost per m² that applies to every home. Even if two houses look identical on the outside, their heating requirements can vary dramatically. The cost of an iHelios system depends on how much heat the property actually needs, which is influenced by insulation levels, property design, and lifestyle.

Why Cost Per m² Varies.

iHelios heating isn’t sold as a flat price per m² because:

  • Every house loses heat differently.
    A modern, well-insulated home retains warmth better than an older property with poor insulation.
  • The heat requirement determines how much material is needed.
    The iHelios system is designed to provide the right amount of infrared heating film to meet the property’s calculated demand.
  • Energy efficiency changes the total investment.
    Better insulation means less heating film is required, so the cost per m² drops. Poor insulation means more film is needed to compensate, so the cost per m² rises.

Example: Two 3-Bed Houses, Two Very Different Costs

To show how insulation makes a difference, here’s a simplified example:

  • House A – Well Insulated (Modern Build)
    • 3-bedroom home with good wall, roof, and floor insulation
    • Requires less iHelios heating film
    • System materials might cost several hundred pounds less compared to a poorly insulated home
  • House B – Poorly Insulated (Older Build)
    • Same size 3-bedroom home but with little or no insulation upgrades
    • Needs significantly more iHelios film to achieve the same comfort levels
    • System materials could cost considerably more than the well-insulated example

👉 These figures are only illustrative — not fixed prices. Every iHelios installation is calculated individually to match the exact heat requirement of your property.

How We Calculate Your Heating Cost

Instead of using a flat “per m²” rate, iHelios uses a tailored calculation based on:

  1. Floor Area – the size of the rooms you want to heat.
  2. Insulation Levels – walls, windows, floors, and roof all matter.
  3. Room Function – living rooms often need more comfort warmth than hallways.
  4. Lifestyle Factors – preferred temperatures, usage patterns, etc.

This ensures your system is efficient, comfortable, and cost-effective without overspending on unnecessary materials.

What This Means for Homeowners

  • Don’t be misled by a “per m²” figure. It rarely reflects the real cost of heating your home.
  • Good insulation saves money twice. It lowers both the upfront cost of your iHelios system and your long-term energy bills.
  • Your home gets a tailored design. Every iHelios project is unique because no two homes have identical heat requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions

Unlike traditional heating where you might size a boiler once, infrared heating has to be matched carefully to each property. Factors such as insulation, ceiling height, glazing, and how each room is used all affect how much heating film is required. That’s why we don’t publish a one-size-fits-all “£ per m²” cost. Instead, we calculate the right amount of material for your home so you only pay for what you actually need.

Installation typically ranges between £20 and £40 per m², depending on the property layout and wiring requirements. Once installed, there’s very little to worry about—infrared heating has no moving parts, no water, and no pumps. That means virtually zero maintenance costs compared to traditional heating systems.

Absolutely. Our systems integrate with smart thermostats, occupancy sensors and scheduling tools. By heating only the rooms that are in use and adjusting output automatically, it’s possible to reduce running costs by as much as 30%. Smart control also adds comfort and convenience by adapting to your lifestyle.
