systems. Making all new homes suitable for low-carbon
heating at the earliest opportunity can save £1,500 - £5,500
per home compared to later having to retrofit low-carbon
heat. Tansun radiant panels are designed with a number of
benefits which include providing healthy, comfortable and
gentle heat, ensuring safety and reliability, and are silent
making them perfect for noise-sensitive environments.
Developed to be highly energy efficient, the panels are cost
effective and can save approximately 30-70% in heating
costs. They come with a full five-year warranty.
The UK Government has also recently launched a Grand
Challenge Mission to halve energy use of new buildings by
2030, and to make sure that every new building is safe, high
quality and much more efficient by using 'clean' heating.
Designed at IP55, the new Tansun heating panels can be used
in bathrooms and offer an unobtrusive design that easily
blends into any environment. Each heater is easy to install as
there is no pipework and can be wall or ceiling mounted to
save floor space. No regular maintenance is required.
The report also states that the quality, design and use of
homes across the UK must be improved now to address
the challenges of climate change. With this in mind, all
rooms around the home can benefit from radiant panel
heating including living rooms, dining rooms, bedrooms,
bathrooms, garages and conservatories. There are many
commercial applications for the new panel heaters too such
as restaurants, offices, salons, hotels, retail, education and
healthcare.
and objects before targeting the surrounding air. Each
panel uses advanced heating technology designed to be
environmentally friendly and remarkably energy efficient,
resulting in energy conversion rates of around 98%.
The UK Government is currently working towards low-carbon
heat in every home. However, according to the CCC fewer
than 500,000 homes currently have some form of low-
carbon heating in place. Tansun radiant panels produce
heat that is similar to the sun and instead of warming the air
like conventional heaters they heat the people and objects
directly in their paths. The rays emitted are easily absorbed
by the items and as cool surfaces heat up the panels raise
the ambient temperature of the room.
"Temperature levels can be adjusted based
on heating requirements to heat each individual
room separately."
At a time where space heating currently makes up around
63% of annual energy consumption in existing homes, the
CCC says that by 2025 no new homes should connect to
the gas grid and should instead rely on low-carbon heating
With the installation of timers and thermostats also
recommended, the Tansun Digital Thermostat helps to
control the radiant heating panels easily to maximise
their potential and save energy and money. Temperature
levels can be adjusted based on heating requirements
to heat each individual room separately. Designed to a
high standard, the Tansun Thermostat will ensure a cosy
atmosphere wherever a heater is installed.
Tansun has implemented and maintains a proactive policy
on environmental issues and has carried out a thorough
examination of its activities and their impact on the
environment. The company supports the need to ensure
that the new homes planned across the UK are fit for
purpose and with low emissions and are designed with a
package of design improvements to adapt to the changing
climate. Tighter standards on new buildings to ensure they
deliver ultra-high levels of energy efficiency will help reduce
greenhouse gas emissions from homes where heating and
hot water currently makes up 25% of total energy use and
15% of greenhouse gas emissions.
All of Tansun's products are made in the UK and are
designed using premium components. The company has
been established for 35 years and pioneered the concept of
radiant electric heaters alongside Philips technology. Tansun
has the largest range of domestic, commercial and industrial
radiant heaters in the world, providing maintenance-free,
safe and healthy radiant heaters for many different types of
heating applications.
