The first cold snap can quickly increase demand from customers looking for additional warmth, better control or a more suitable heating solution for a particular space.
For retailers, installers and resellers, here’s what you need to consider when preparing your heating range for the winter season.
Check Your Heating Range
Review the heating products you currently offer and make sure your range covers different panel sizes, wattages and control options. This makes it easier to recommend a suitable solution for different applications.
It’s also worth making sure you’re familiar with the installation requirements of the products you supply. Mirrorstone’s Prime and Pro infrared panels use the same brackets for wall or ceiling installation, so separate suspension or ceiling kits aren’t required.
Having this information to hand means you can specify products more confidently and give customers suitable options when demand for heating increases.
Offer Options For Different Spaces
Having a range of wattages available gives retailers, installers and resellers more flexibility when specifying a panel for each application. Mirrorstone’s Classic IR Panels are available in 350W, 580W, 700W, 900W and 1200W options, giving you a choice of outputs for different heating requirements.
The required wattage will depend on factors such as the size and characteristics of the space and its level of insulation. Considering these factors when specifying a panel can help ensure the heating solution is appropriate for the application.
Consider Your Control Options
Control is another factor worth considering when specifying infrared heating. Different applications may require straightforward On/Off operation, thermostatic control or remote access, so having a range of options gives you more flexibility when specifying heating.
Mirrorstone’s Prime range offers On/Off, built-in thermostatic and remote control options, while the Pro range offers On/Off and remote control options. The exact control configuration can be selected when specifying the panel, allowing you to match the heating setup to the installation and the customer’s requirements.
Mirrorstone also offers Nexus Wi-Fi IR Panels, giving you another control option to consider when specifying connected heating for customers who want greater control over their system.
Consider Targeted Heating
Panel stands can give customers more flexibility when they need heating in a particular area without permanently installing a panel. They allow compatible infrared panels to be used as a freestanding heater and moved when heating requirements change.
This gives retailers, installers and resellers another option to consider alongside wall or ceiling installation, particularly when a customer needs temporary or more targeted heating. Mirrorstone’s panel stands are compatible with Classic, NXT Gen, Nexus Wi-Fi, Image and Custom Image panels, with one pair recommended for panels up to 700W and two pairs for 900W and 1200W models.
Get Ready Before The Temperature Drops
