Radiant heating for church pews

ECOSUN radiant panels (CH and K+ series) represent the most efficient and environmentally friendly way of ensuring thermal comfort in places of worship and historic buildings. Rather than heating the air, they heat the people sitting there directly. This means you don’t waste energy heating large spaces, and you can ensure visitors’ comfort in record time.

Why choose ECOSUN radiant panels for heating church pews?

Targeted local heating in the pew area delivers significant energy savings, as it warms those seated directly.

Infrared panels heat up very quickly. This means you do not need to preheat the building unnecessarily; you can simply switch the heating on during the service or concert.

The discreet design and colour scheme allow for an almost invisible installation that respects the historic character and dignity of the sacred space.

Radiant panels are very gentle. They do not stir up dust whilst heating, thereby protecting precious organs, paintings and other works of art from damage.

Maintenance-free operation and a high level of safety thanks to protective grilles.

Radiant panels ECOSUN CH

Radiant panels ECOSUN K+

We offer two design options for different types of benches

ECOSUN CH (Church Heater) panels are designed for installation under the seat, from where they radiate heat towards the floor and your feet. They feature a matt black finish, a protective grille and a silicone cable, allowing them to blend in perfectly with the dark wood of the pews.

ECOSUN K+ infrared panels are designed for installation on the backrests of the benches. We supply them as standard in brown with a Thermocrystal finish. However, we are happy to customise the colour to suit a specific interior on request.

Variable control

With zone heating, where the panels heat only the people in a specific area, the heating is usually controlled manually according to users’ needs. However, you can also add further elements of regulation to the radiant panels – for example, a timer that switches the panels off when the heated space is not in use.

The principle of radiant heat

Infrared radiation from the panels is only converted into heat when it strikes solid objects or people. In historic buildings, this principle is crucial, as it eliminates the sensation of ‘cold feet’ from the floor and increases the perceived temperature by up to several degrees. With radiant heating, the air is heated secondarily, leading to energy savings of 15–20 per cent.

A wide range of power ratings

We supply ECOSUN radiant panels in a range of power ratings. Choose the one that best suits your needs:

ECOSUN CH: available in 260, 400 and 600 W versions.

ECOSUN K+: available in 100, 200, 270, 330 and 400 W versions.

Recognised worldwide

Thanks to their simple installations and high efficiency, these panels are a recognised solution for churches, cathedrals, places of worship and historic halls around the world. The FENIX Group supplies electric heating systems to major historic monuments worldwide. Whilst our ECOFLOOR heating cables ensure thermal comfort in Barcelona’s La Sagrada Familia basilica, ECOSUN radiant panels from the CH and K+ series are proving their worth in dozens of churches in the Czech Republic, France, Romania and even New Zealand.
