Which heater for a workshop? - The expert guide

How do I calculate the right heating power for my workshop?

Important: With infrared heaters, you don’t need to heat the entire hall area. The heating power is based on the actual work surface, not the room size.

Application area Power per m² work surface Example TANSUN recommendation
Coldest winter days 0.2 kW per m² 10m² workstation = 2kW Apollo 2kW
Transition period (autumn/spring) 0.1-0.15 kW per m² 10m² workstation = 1-1.5kW Apollo 2kW with dimmer
Large hall, local heating 0.2 kW per m² work area 15m² in 100m² hall = 3kW Apollo Double 3kW

Advantage of zone heating: With a 2kW TANSUN heater, you can efficiently heat a 10m² workstation in a 100m² hall without heating the entire hall.

Which infrared heater for which workshop application?

Application area Typical work surface Required power TANSUN solution Price from
Hobby workshop 5-10m² work area 1-2 kW Apollo 2kW with dimmer €639
Auto workshop workstation 10-15m² around the vehicle 2-3 kW Apollo Double 3kW €845
Industrial workshop zone 15-20m² production area 3-4 kW Spotter 2 x 1.5kW €985
Multiple workstations 20m²+ distributed areas 4-6 kW Combination of multiple units From €1,200

Why choose infrared heating over gas heating for the workshop?

  • Zone heating possible - Heat only work areas, not the entire hall
  • Instant heat without preheating time - Warmth in seconds, not minutes
  • No gas connections needed - Easy installation with electrical connection
  • CO2-neutral with green electricity - More environmentally friendly than gas with 20-40% energy loss
  • Maintenance-free - No annual gas boiler inspections
  • Targeted warmth - Heats surfaces and people, not the air

Is infrared heating suitable for garages?

Yes, infrared heating is ideal for garages! TANSUN infrared heaters work even with poor insulation and frequent door openings. The shortwave technology heats people and objects directly without needing to warm the air. Especially efficient for occasional use.
