La Croix Spa gets Green Heating!

In advance of Christmas / New Year clients, we have now installed Infrared Heating in or largest cottage "Corneille".

We always had electric heaters in Corneille, but there were many reasons we switched to infrared. 



The existing heating was expensive to run, never did a thorough enough job and were always a bit in the way.

We've now been able to reduce the load in Corneille from 8.5 Kilowatts to 3.5kW !!!  And it now feels warmer!

So we're being green, reducing our electrical load (always high in Winter) and keeping our costs down.


Infrared Heating can be anything up to 75% more energy-efficient than standard electric heating, gas or oil. This is because it doesn't heat the air, like these other types of heaters, but heats up the room and objects within it, so they start to radiate heat as well.

Because of this, Infrared also eliminates the chances of having Mould and Mildew which form on cold surfaces (like windows) with older forms of heating which just heat up the air. (Warm air = moist air).



In addition, the heaters are of thoroughly modern design and can be as discrete or out-in-the-open as you want.  In these pictures here you can see how attractive the examples are and we've now reclaimed our floorspace as well - because they're all wall or ceiling-mounted.

One of them is even a blackboard which we have placed in the kitchen / dining room.  The company that supplies these (see their Infrared Heating showsite here), Green Energy (eu) Ltd, can also do panels with picture motifs to order.

They are also very easy to install, the whole lot went in over a weekend.
