Infrared Heating for Swiss Homes
Your cold room — the home office, the north-facing bedroom, the room the central heating never quite reaches. SunWave Ceramica adds fast, silent radiant warmth exactly where you need it, with no re-plumbing, no renovation, and nothing to maintain. Tested by Fraunhofer WKI, TU Dresden and Labor S.A.
Where Infrared Fits in a Swiss Home
Most homes don't need a whole new heating system — they need the one room that's always cold to finally be warm. Here's where SunWave Ceramica fits.
The room your heating doesn't reach
Every Swiss home has one — the home office a few degrees behind, the north-facing bedroom, the converted attic, the bathroom that's cold until the boiler's been running for an hour. Re-plumbing a single room for central heating is disruptive and expensive for what it solves.
A SunWave Ceramica panel solves it directly. Mount it on the wall, plug it in (or have it hardwired by an electrician), and that room is warm in minutes — independent of the rest of your heating system. No re-plumbing, no renovation, no permits.
A natural partner for solar PV
If your home has solar panels, infrared is one of the simplest ways to put daytime generation to direct use — switch a panel on while the sun's out and your meter is running backwards anyway. No batteries or special wiring required, just an ordinary Swiss socket.
Health advantages in Swiss homes
Swiss residential buildings are among the best-sealed in Europe — excellent for energy efficiency, but it means anything that off-gasses indoors lingers longer. Infrared involves no combustion and no air movement to stir up dust or allergens. Fraunhofer WKI measured TVOC emissions of just 0.043 mg/m³ — far below regulatory limits, with no carcinogenic compounds detected. That matters most in tightly sealed Swiss Minergie buildings.

Installation (plug-in or hardwired)
Plug-in installation (standard Swiss T13 socket) requires no electrician. Hardwired installation (tidier, no visible cable) takes a certified Swiss electrician approximately 45–60 minutes per panel. A typical 3-panel apartment is done in a morning.

Set the thermostat and enjoy
Programme your smart thermostat schedule — higher during occupied hours, lower overnight. Many homeowners see the heating bill difference from the first monthly statement.
Professional installation takes 45–60 minutes per panel. A 3-panel apartment is typically done in a single morning.
