The Best Heating Options for Extensions and Garden Rooms

Extensions and garden rooms are often the coldest spaces in a property — especially when connected to older heating systems.

Many homeowners discover that extending existing pipework is expensive, inefficient and disruptive.

Why Traditional Heating Often Fails

Adding radiators to an existing boiler system can:

  • Reduce efficiency
  • Increase boiler strain
  • Create uneven heating
  • Require major installation work

Why Infrared Heating Works Better

Infrared heating panels are ideal for extensions because they:

  • Heat quickly
  • Require minimal installation
  • Operate independently
  • Work well in occasional-use rooms

Smart Controls Add More Savings

Pairing infrared with smart controls allows:

  • Room-by-room scheduling
  • App-based control
  • Reduced wasted energy

Perfect For

  • Garden rooms
  • Home offices
  • Conservatories
  • Attic conversions
  • Kitchen extensions
