📝 Before you book — checklist
- Confirm 240V mains supply. This unit runs from a standard 240V UK socket — confirm a reliable supply on site.
- Radiant vs whole-room heat? Infrared warms people and objects directly; for whole-room air heating consider a fan heater instead.
- Zone size. Plan the heater to face the defined working zone you want to warm, not a whole building.
- Heat loss. Open doors, single glazing and drafts reduce effective output — infrared still works well by warming people directly.
- Keep away from water. No standing water, splash zones or wet floors.
- Clear of combustible materials. Keep fabrics, dust sheets, paper and paint away from the front of the heater.
- Access & parking. Confirm load-in and delivery access on site.
- Hire duration. Plan around job size, temperature target and conditions.
- Delivery / collection timing. Match to your site rhythm and access windows.
- Number of heaters needed. Plan for area, layout and how many work zones you need to warm.
- Dehumidifier or air mover pairing? For damp or drying jobs, plan moisture removal too.
- Quieter room? If the room is small or occupied, the 3kW Electric Heater (silent oil filled) may be a better fit.
- Need fan heat instead? Choose the Broughton 3kW 240V Fan Heater for moved warm air.
- 110V site requirement? Choose the 110V Fan Heater 3kW 32A instead.
- Larger space? Choose the 9kW Industrial Fan Heater (3-phase) or the 15kW Industrial Heater.
🛡️ Safety checklist
- ✓Keep away from standing water. No use in wet zones or near splashes.
- ✓Clear of combustibles. Fabrics, paper, dust sheets, paint tins — keep them away.
- ✓Do not cover the heater. Allow clearance around and in front of the unit.
- ✓No hazardous atmospheres. Not for flammable vapours, explosive or dust-laden environments.
- ✓Use the correct 240V mains source. Standard UK socket — ask us if you’re unsure.
- ✓Avoid overloaded circuits. Use a properly rated socket; never improvise extensions.
- ✓Supervise use as required. Switch off when the area is unattended.
- ✓Allow clearance. Don’t aim the radiant face too close to sensitive materials.
- ✓Cable safety. Keep cables out of walkways to reduce trip hazards.
- ✓Follow hire instructions. Confirm suitability for your job before hire.
🚫 Common mistakes to avoid
- Using an infrared heater when whole-room airflow heating is needed.For enclosed rooms that need warm air circulated, a fan heater is usually better.
- Using a fan heater when targeted radiant heat is better.For drafty workshops, open garages or spot warming, infrared works directly on people and objects.
- Using a heater instead of a dehumidifier for moisture removal.Heaters warm; dehumidifiers extract airborne moisture.
- Trying to dry standing water with a heater.Remove water with a wet & dry vacuum first — then heat and ventilate.
- Placing the heater too close to materials.Fabrics, dust sheets and paint are fire risks if too close.
- Blocking or covering the heater.Allow clearance around the radiant face.
- Using the wrong power setup.This is a 240V mains unit — confirm site supply before hire.
- Expecting guaranteed drying times.Drying depends on the material, humidity, ventilation and area.
- Using in wet or hazardous areas.Different equipment, different controls, different process.
- Using a 3kW heater for very large open spaces.Step up to the 9kW or 15kW industrial heater instead.

❓ 3kW 240V Infrared Heater — FAQ
Can I hire an infrared heater in London?
Yes. Collection is from Greenford UB6 and London delivery is available by booking. Call 020 3375 4048 or email info@hireload.co.uk to confirm.
What is a 3kW infrared heater used for?
Temporary heating support and targeted spot heating in suitable enclosed work areas — workshops, garages, commercial rooms, fit-out zones, refurbishment sites and semi-covered areas. It warms people and objects directly using radiant heat.
Is this a 240V infrared heater?
Yes — a 3kW 240V tripod-mounted radiant heater that runs from a standard UK mains socket; no transformer is required.
What is radiant heat and how is infrared different from fan heating?
Radiant heat warms people, objects and surfaces directly in the line of sight rather than heating the air. Fan heaters move warm air around a room instead. Infrared often works better in drafty or open work areas where warm air escapes quickly; fan heaters often work better in enclosed rooms.
Does it heat the whole room?
It’s designed for targeted radiant heat to a defined working zone rather than evenly heating a whole sealed room. For whole-room air heating, a fan heater is usually a better fit.
What power supply does it need? Does it need a transformer?
A standard 240V UK mains socket. At 3kW it draws about 13A, so it can run from a normal plug point without special wiring or a transformer (subject to circuit rating). Share your site supply details when booking and we’ll confirm compatibility.
Is it suitable for workshops and garages?
Yes, where a 240V supply is available. Infrared is particularly useful in drafty workshops and garages where warm air gets lost.
Is it suitable for site cabins?
Yes, where verified suitable and a 240V supply is available. For specific 110V site setups, use the 110V Fan Heater 3kW 32A.
Is it suitable for offices or commercial rooms?
It can be used in commercial rooms for targeted radiant heat. For quiet whole-room office heating, the silent 3kW Electric Heater (oil filled) is often a better fit.
Is it suitable for construction sites?
Yes, where a 240V supply is available. Many construction sites use 110V site equipment — in that case use the 110V Fan Heater 3kW 32A.
How is it different from the 3kW Electric Heater?
The 3kW Electric Heater is a silent oil filled radiator for quiet indoor rooms. This infrared heater is a tripod-mounted radiant heater that warms people and objects directly — better for drafty or open work areas.
How is it different from the Broughton 3kW Fan Heater 240V?
The Broughton 3kW Fan Heater 240V moves warm air around an enclosed room with a fan. This infrared heater uses radiant heat instead — it warms what it faces rather than the air.
How is it different from the 110V Fan Heater 3kW 32A?
The 110V Fan Heater 3kW 32A is a reduced-voltage 110V site fan heater for construction sites. This 240V infrared heater is designed for 240V mains and uses radiant rather than fan-driven heat.
How is it different from the 9kW Industrial Electric Fan Heater?
The 9kW Industrial Electric Fan Heater is a mid-power 3-phase 400/415V industrial fan heater for larger enclosed work areas. This 3kW infrared heater is a smaller, mains-powered radiant option for spot heating zones.
How is it different from the 15kW Industrial Electric Heater?
The 15kW Industrial Electric Heater is a larger 3-phase 400/415V unit for medium-to-large enclosed spaces. This infrared heater is much smaller and uses radiant heat for targeted zones.
Does it produce fumes?
No — clean electric heat with no combustion fumes and no fuel odour. Useful for indoor and semi-enclosed work areas where combustion heaters aren’t appropriate.
Can it help with drying? Does it remove moisture from the air?
It can support drying conditions by warming objects and surfaces directly, but drying times are never guaranteed. It does not remove moisture from the air — heaters warm; dehumidifiers extract airborne moisture. For damp areas, pair the heater with a dehumidifier and air movers for best results.
Should I use a dehumidifier as well?
Often yes — particularly for damp rooms, post-leak drying or plaster and screed support. Heaters and dehumidifiers work well together when the workflow is right.
Can I use it after a leak or water damage?
Only once standing water has been removed with a wet & dry vacuum. Then a heater plus dehumidifier and air movers can support drying. Larger water damage usually needs a specialist plan.
Can it dry plaster, paint or screed?
It can help speed drying when paired with a dehumidifier and good airflow, but drying times are never guaranteed. They depend on the material, humidity, ventilation and area.
Can I use it near standing water, or outdoors?
No standing water. Keep the heater clear of standing water, splash zones and wet floors. For outdoor use, it’s designed for indoor and semi-enclosed spaces (such as covered loading bays or porches where verified suitable). It’s not effective in fully open outdoor spaces where wind disperses the radiant heat.
Can I leave it unattended? Is it safe around flammable materials?
No on both. Supervise the unit during operation and switch off when the area is unattended. Keep clear of fabrics, dust sheets, paper, paint tins and combustible materials, and do not use in flammable vapours or hazardous atmospheres.
How many infrared heaters do I need?
It depends on the number of work zones, ceiling height and heat loss. Tell us the area and how cold the space gets, and we’ll recommend a setup.
Can I collect from Greenford UB6, and do you deliver in London?
Yes — self-collection from Greenford UB6 is the lowest-cost option when you have a suitable vehicle. London delivery is available by booking; call 020 3375 4048 to confirm your postcode and timing.
How much does infrared heater hire cost?
Check the booking calendar at the top of this page for live daily and longer-term pricing, or call 020 3375 4048 for a quote.
How do I choose between infrared, fan heater and oil-filled heater?
Infrared suits drafty or open work zones where you want targeted radiant heat. A fan heater (Broughton 3kW 240V) suits enclosed rooms that need warm air moved around. An oil filled radiator (3kW Electric Heater) suits quiet indoor rooms. Tell us your space and supply and we’ll recommend the right model.
