Which heater for a workshop? - The expert guide
How do I calculate the right heating power for my workshop?
Important: With infrared heaters, it is not necessary to heat the entire hall area. The heating power is based on the actual workspace, not the room size.
| Field of application | Power per m² workspace | Example | TANSUN recommendation |
|---|---|---|---|
| Coldest winter days | 0.2 kW per m² | 10m² workspace = 2kW | Apollo 2kW |
| Transition period (autumn/spring) | 0.1-0.15 kW per m² | 10m² workspace = 1-1.5kW | Apollo 2kW with dimmer |
| Large hall, local heating | 0.2 kW per m² workspace | 15m² in 100m² hall = 3kW | Apollo Double 3kW |
Advantage of zone heating: With a 2kW TANSUN heater, you can efficiently heat a 10m² workspace in a 100m² hall without having to warm the entire hall.
Which infrared heater for which workshop application?
| Application area | Typical workspace | Required power | TANSUN solution | Price from |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Hobby workshop | 5-10m² work area | 1-2 kW | Apollo 2kW with dimmer | €639 |
| Car 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 devices | From €1,200 |
Why infrared heating instead of gas heating for the workshop?
- Zone heating possible - Heat only work areas, not the entire hall
- Instant heat without preheating time - Heat 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 heat - 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 warming the room air. Especially efficient for occasional use.
