Manuals & Installation

Herschel Select panels do not come fitted with a plug and one must be attached in order to install them DIY. Without a plug, Herschel panels must be hardwired by a professional electrician.
For wall mounted fitting, use the template provided to fix the brackets on the wall and screw the panel in place. Select panels come with a 2.5m cable. For ceiling mounted fitting, the panels should be screwed to the ceiling joists or fitted in a suspended grid with suitable fixings.
If you prefer to keep cables and sockets out of sight, the panels can be hardwired to the mains. This is a job for a professional electrician; do not attempt DIY.
Herschel Select panels are IP44 rated, so can be used in bathrooms provided they are appropriately hardwired by a professional electrician. Plug-in heaters must not be used in bathrooms or wetrooms. Always defer to the manufacturer’s guidelines about the bathroom suitability of any product.
Don’t forget to purchase your panels with a thermostat or timer system to help you control your heating. Installing your panels with thermostat and programming control is the best way to keep your rooms comfortable and your heating bills low. We recommend the Herschel iQ system, which allows you to thermostatically control all your panels from one central location. Some thermostat systems, like the iQ, require professional hardwired installation. However, there are plug-in thermostats available if you want to install your heating DIY.
Care must always be taken when connecting multiple radiators or heaters to avoid overloading the ring main of your property. If you are unsure, contact a qualified electrician for advice. For a professional installation, cables can be shortened and the heater connected to the mains supply by a fused spur. This work must be carried out by a qualified electrician.

The 540w Herschel Select Electric Panel is our mid-range Select panel, large enough to heat rooms up to 12m2 independently, and small enough to be used in combination in larger spaces. With stylish slim design and unsurpassed energy-efficiency, Herschel electric infrared panels offer an energy efficient heating solution for commercial and domestic properties.
The great value Herschel Select range makes infrared heating on a budget a reality, with discreet and practical panels available in three sizes. The panels are lightweight and ultra slim at only 25mm thick, with a framed front panel in white aluminium and a steel backing plate fitted with easy fix brackets. The panels are designed to reach temperatures of 85 – 95 °C to deliver heat at the optimum wavelength for comfortable heating. If you’re heating a busy space or a children’s bedroom, they can be mounted on the ceiling or high up on the wall to keep them out of touching distance.
Herschel Select panels are incredibly versatile, offering two mounting options. They can be hardwired to the wall or mounted on the ceiling, either individually or as part of a standard office ceiling grid. You can also choose whether you want to hang your panels horizontally or vertically – so they can work flexibly with both long-and-thin and short-and-wide spaces. Herschel panels don't come supplied with a plug, so you will need to attach one unless you're intending to hardwire your panels into the wall. If you decide to attach a plug, your panels are suitable for DIY installation and simply plug into the wall. Without a plug, these panels must be hardwired by a professional electrician.
We stock Herschel Select panels in three sizes: 350w, 540w & 700w.
How to control your panels
The best way to manage the energy consumption of your infrared panels is to control them with a thermostat. You can wire each panel with its own controls, or use a system like the Herschel iQ which allows you to control all heaters from one central location. Thermostatic control ensures that the heaters are only in action when temperatures need topping up, slimming down your energy usage without impacting your comfort. You can also use smart heating controllers to zone your heating, running your heaters to different schedules depending on how you use the rooms in which they are hung. Used with a thermostat, infrared heating systems are up to 60% more efficient than traditional electric heating systems such as storage heaters.
If you purchase your Herschel panels with the iQ WiFi Hub, they can be controlled via WiFi on a compatible smart device from anywhere, providing you have an internet connection. The iQ Hub simply connects to your home router and plugs into a wall socket.
Far infrared heating
Herschel Select Heating Panels maximise energy-efficiency by heating objects directly, passing through the room's air to heat you and your furniture – just as the sun warms you on a winter's day despite the coldness of the air. This avoids the disadvantages of conventional radiators which heat by convection – heating only the air – and expend huge quantities of energy reheating air which is lost through draughts and open doors. Infrared panels heat you and your furniture directly, and because objects retain heat better than air, your room becomes in effect a 360° heater in which walls, ceilings and furniture absorb and emit heat. This deep level of heating makes your room feel warmer than when you use a convection heater at the same temperature. This means you can set the temperature 3-4 degrees lower than normal, making huge savings on your heating bills. Boasting near total energy efficiency, with almost 100% of the energy used by the heater converted into heat, Herschel heaters offer an exceptionally efficient heating solution for your home.
Our electric panels use far infrared heat to maximise your comfort, heating up fast and warming you directly with a natural heat which feels pleasantly like the warmth of the sun. Unlike sunlight, however, which includes harmful UV rays, infrared heat is a pure heat form which is entirely safe, with absolutely no health risks. In fact, far infrared heating carries many health benefits. Unlike convection heaters, which continually move air around the room, disturbing dust and reducing humidity levels, infrared is a gentle heating method which adds nothing and takes nothing from the air. This makes it the perfect heating solution for allergy sufferers because it keeps dust out of the air and prevents skin drying out. Our panels are also exceptionally durable and require the bare minimum of maintenance. The heaters use solid state elements with no moving parts and do not use liquids or internal combustion. This means the panel won't wear down quickly and there's no risk of leaking or carbon monoxide production – so your heaters won't need to be inspected or serviced, saving you time and money. All you need to do is keep them clean. Our heating panels are also entirely silent and will help prevent damp and mould in your walls by keeping them warm.
Our far infrared heaters are eco-friendly too. They're entirely free from carbon emissions, so when used with electricity from green power sources, they're one of the few heating systems that are totally carbon free.
