More comfortable heat and a saving in heating costs of around 20 percent. The Engman family has installed infrared heating panels in all rooms of the villa and sees only upsides in having converted from traditional heating.

Jenny Engman was at a housing fair five years ago and learned about infrared heating panels for the first time. Then she went home and googled it.

– I couldn't let go of this idea of ​​infrared heating panels as heating. We tested a panel during the winter of 2017 and were satisfied. Then we bought panels for the entire house, which were installed in the fall of 2018, says Jenny Engman.

In 2020, a renovation of the villa began. At the same time, a 25 square meter extension was built. All panels were taken down, all electricity was rewired and completely new plumbing equipment was installed.

In the Engman villa, all floors are laminate except in wet areas where there are rubber mats. The infrared heating panels do their job – all floors are comfortable to walk on.

– Previously, we had uneven heat. Now it's perfect, equally warm throughout the house. In addition, the panels make the indoor heat less sensitive to drafts. We can ventilate properly without losing the heat. It remains in the walls, furniture and floors, says Jenny Engman.

When the electricity was rewired in the house, all the infrared heating panels were taken down. An electrician was hired.

– He probably didn't think it was that effective, thought traditional technology would be better. Overall, few people are aware of the panels and understand how good they are. I'm trying to get neighbors in the area to invest in infrared heating panels, says Jenny.
