Trust In Genuine Mirrorstone Products
When purchasing any product from Surya Heating, you can rest assured that you’re buying authentic Mirrorstone products, that have been stringently tested to meet quality standards.
This is why you should be wary of purchasing lower quality products, which might put you or your home at risk.
Add some clean, efficient heat to wherever needs it, whether that be the home, office, garden or warehouse. An infrared bar heater is bound to be the answer for any of your heating problems. Want to spend less, be kinder to the environment, or have a better-looking heater? The answer is here. This bar heater measures approximately 900mm by 150mm, and has a power output of 1.2kW. This is enough to heat an area of around 18m2! It measures just 63mm in depth, so is unlikely to stick out too much when mounted on either the wall or the ceiling.
With integrated Wi-Fi functionality, you have the freedom to use this bar heater from your smartphone or tablet from anywhere in the world for full home automation. Better yet, it'll even sync up to your Google Assistant for full voice commands too!
Made from premium aluminium, you don’t need to worry about this heater not looking great throughout its lengthy lifespan. It can reach a surface temperature of around 200-300˚C, although this won’t be too much of an issue. Despite it being hotter than a traditional radiator, it can actually be installed much further up the wall, so it’s well out of reach of any prying fingers.
It comes with an IP44 rating, meaning that it’s well protected from any accidental splashes of water. However, if it’s installed outside, then we do recommend that is under cover, to protect it against any particularly heavy rain.

What is Infrared Heating?
Infrared heating is a fairly new technology that completely changes how you heat your surroundings, both in its methods, and its convenience. It is far more efficient than traditional heating methods, as it heats the objects in the room, including you, rather than just the air around it. As the surface area of the objects is less than the volume of air, it uses less energy in doing so. It can actually save you around 60% on your heating bills!
It does this by firing infrared beams around the room, which bounce off of the objects, leaving them warmed. This avoids the convectional currents that conventional heaters produce. This is where the warm air rises, cools, and falls again, requiring more heat. Infrared heating doesn’t cause this, so there won’t be any dust circulation, mould growth, or cold spots with infrared heating. This makes infrared heating better for your health.
Infrared heating is completely safe, so there’s no need to worry. It’s the same technology that TV remote controls, airport security, and laser quest games use! It provides the same sort of heat that the sun does, and even our own bodies emit infrared radiation. There’s no nasty UV radiation with infrared technology, however.
Smart Control With Integrated Wi-Fi
This particular bar heater now comes with a Wi-Fi module integrated into its thermostat, granting you access to its settings from anywhere in the world! Simply download the Smart Life app on your iOS or Android device, connect the app using the instructions provided in the manual, and off you go! From here, you can set multiple on/off times, hourly timer settings, zone control and family sharing!
Simply scan the QR code on the left to get started by downloading the Smart Life app!
Remote Control
With this heater, you’re in luck. It’s fully remote controllable, and the IR signal remote control is included in the box already! It is so simple to use, and it makes the bar heater even more versatile than it already is. It’s slim, it looks good, and it makes your life a lot easier.
You can adjust the temperature of the bar heater with just a simple press of a button, whether you want an extra kick of heat, or you’re starting to get a little too warm.
You can switch the display on or off, if you want a more incognito approach to keeping your surroundings warm.
You can also set a sleep timer on the heater, if you wish for it to stay on for a certain amount of hours.
The Helpful Screen
With the LED screen that comes with these infrared bar heaters, you can find out quite a lot of information.
It is situated on the right hand side of the panel, providing you’ve got it the right way around. If not, you might be wondering why the screen is upside-down…
The screen lets you know what your target temperature is, so you know what the heater is trying to reach.
There’s a helpful blue graphic above this, which lets you know whether the heater is actively emitting heat in order to reach this temperature, too. It also helps you when you’re setting the sleep timer.
Easy to Install
You can forget about getting any professional assistance in for these heaters – they’re super easy to install.
You won’t need to get in touch with plumbers, carpenters, or electricians, as these are a do-it-yourself, one-person job. They are completely plug-and-play compatible, so there’s no real work to do, outside of actually mounting the heater. With a 1.5m cable found on the right side of the heater as you face it, you've got plenty of room to work with.
It’s very easy to do, and completely straightforward. All you have to do is drill into the wall, and then you’re ready. Just screw in the two rear-mounted brackets, and you’re good to go!
The brackets are adjustable, too, so you can direct the heat at specific angles. It only takes a few minutes before it’s up and running.
Please be aware that if the units are not cleaned regularly, a build-up of dust may appear. Find out more about how to maintain your heaters here!
We advise installing your bar heater at a height of at least 2m from the floor.

Smart looking, WIFI controllable and pumps out a lot of heat
Well impressed with this for our massive lounge diner. So much so that I will get another as it isn't quite as powerful on its own for such a large room. I use this to keep the lounge/diner above a certain temperature overnight as the underfloor heating for a 40ft lounge is now unaffordable due to the energy crisis.at full blast I am running this between 2am-6am on overnight cheap electric so less than 15p an hour and this allows me to take the edge off this massive room with large bifold glass doors. Easy to set up a smart schedule and turn it on or off via the remote or by phone. An exceptionally smart looking, versatile heater. Honestly, you cant go wrong. In a smaller room the 1200w version would easily be sufficient.

Remarkably good
I moved into an all-electric flat with regular convection heaters which had to be on full all day else it was cold. I bought this bar heater in the hope of using less electric, and yes, it does use less! It seems to warm things up in a way I can only describe as "cosy", whereas the old heater heated the air but everything stayed cold. Plus, it's 1200 Watts and it cycles on and off to keep the room a nice warm, whereas the old heater just sat on full using 1500 Watts all the time. When you turn it on it feels warm within a few minutes. Also, the room stays warm when you turn it off (like for hours, I guess it's because it warmed up all the objects).Pros: Uses less electric; feels nice, like being in front of a coal fire; looks nice; thermostat works fine (I set mine to 23); comes with cable and plug ready to goCons: Bit fiddly to install (note: 2 bracket types); must be solidly fixed out of reach as the surface runs at 400 degrees C; a bit directional; no 'on' timer; short power cableOverall, I like this bar heater and I recommend them.
