Quick story
More and more smart homes in Spain in 2022 can be found with Alexa or Google Home voice control. But in most cases, property owners only use smart outlets, lights and the connection of some electrical smart devices. But today, thanks to Royal Infrared, you can already enjoy smart heating in all its glory. Smart temperature control, the use of a timer and the setting of heating by day and hour are all available with Infrared Panel Heaters “Domus” and smart thermostats Avis S and Poer 26.
For several years now, the owner and his family have been using air conditioning and gas cylinders as their primary heating. But it is simply inconvenient and costly. Moreover, when doors and windows are opened, all the heat escapes. This is why the family decided to install more efficient heating at a lower cost. After much analysis and research, the owners turned to us, Royal Infrared Heating. Our manager scheduled a video call consultation and after analysing the client’s needs, insulation and the size of the rooms he recommended using the IR panels Domus together with Avis S smart thermostats.

Efficient and Comfortable Heating Solution by Royal Infrared Heating®
The main task was to heat a large room efficiently. After visiting and inspecting the house, a Domus 900W panel and a Domus 580W panel were recommended. The large panel was positioned by the dining area of the room. The smaller panel was installed in a small corridor that goes into part of the large room. In this way, heat comes from two parts of the room, which provides efficient heating.
Another great advantage of these panels is a voice control. Michael and Lola connected each panel to the Alexa and started controlling them with the voice commands.
Michael and Lola:
“After purchasing and having the panels which where fitted in late summer, we have finally been cold enough to put on the heating. The first thing we noticed was how quickly we felt the heat around the room, within minutes of switching on. The thermostat’s were set to 24°, which we felt would be a comfortable temperature, which worked for us. After 18 years in Spain, we have tried many different ways of heating in the house, and so far, these Infrared Panel Heaters, are the most efficient, and consistent, and with the added bonus no condensation. Highly recommend Royal, from start to finish a very professional service.”

As is often the case in Spain, even in sunny provinces like Alicante and Murcia, there is a huge problem of cold flats and houses. Buildings are built mostly with thin walls and windows with poor insulation. This two-bedroom apartment is located in one of Algorfa’s residences. Modern design, but no central heating.
The best solution was to use Domus infrared panels by Royal Infrared Heating®. The main reason is that they allow to heat the room itself: walls, floor, ceiling and all furniture and household items.

Efficient and Comfortable Heating Solution by Royal Infrared Heating®
The primary need for heating was in the living room, the kitchen and the hall. These are the places where the owners spend most of their time. One large Domus 900W panel was required to efficiently and effectively heat the living area and kitchen (18 square metres).
A smaller Domus 580W infrared panel was sufficient for the hall. The panel was installed in such a way that heat was also supplied to the bathroom and two bedrooms, in addition to heating the hall itself.
A distinctive feature of Royal Infrared’s Domus panels is the smart control from the phone or by voice (using Alexa or Google Home). Homeowners can now turn the panels on and off even when they are not at home. This comes in handy when you need to heat up the room some time before you return home.
After some time of using the Infrared Panel Heaters Domus the homeowner wrote a review:
“We purchased two panels, one for the living room and one for the hallway. Absolutely delighted with them. Our home is so warm with them now. From making first contact with the company, to having them installed, everything was handled professionally. I highly recommend this product and the company, and several of our friends are now very interested in purchasing them. Thank you Leo.”
