When searching for the best and most efficient Far Infrared Heaters for indoor heating, we at Royal Infrared Heating, sometimes get a question – “What to choose, white panels “Domus” or smart black heaters “Velit Sol”?

Good question indeed! In fact these two IR heaters are similar and very different at the same time. In this article you will find all differences and similarities between “Domus” and “Velit Sol”.

Efficient Premium Heating Material

Both heaters, in fact all our heaters, are made using the same heating technology – Far Infrared Heating. The only heating solution that can efficiently heat the property even with bad insulation with the minimum energy consumed. The number of layers of the heating elements can vary depending on the product.

We use only Premium Carbon Crystal as the main heating element. The only material that will serve you for over 15-20 years*. 

*The lifecycle of the products depends on their management.

Power and capabilities

Far Infrared Panel Heaters “Domus”

The panels “Domus” come in two models – 580 watts and 900 watts and have a single layer of the heating element all over the panel surface. The surface of the panel can get up to 90 degrees which is safe to touch. Panels can be mounted on any part of a wall. The distance from the floor does not matter. This is possible due to the 180 degrees heat emission that all heaters by Royal Infrared Heating have. The Far Infrared Waves will reach each part of the heated area evenly.

You can easily heat both small, medium and large areas of your property – just a matter of right number of panels. The panels “Domus” can be the right solution for most of the properties. Contact us to have a free consultation so we can give you the best recommendations based on our experience.

The panels “Domus” should be used with one of the thermostats by Royal Infrared Heating. You can choose between the plug-in and mains-powered models. The former can bi simply used with a socket. The latter should be hardwired to the panel and electrical outlet. You can read more here about the installation methods.

Both thermostats can be paired with your smartphone, tablet or any smart device. On top of that you can use voice controls via Alexa, Google Home or any another voice system.

The panels can be also used simply manually with the turn on/off button on the junction box of the back side of the panel.

Far Infrared Smart Heaters “Velit Sol” 

The heaters “Velit Sol” also come in two models – 250-1000 watts and 450-1800 watts. One of the main features of this heater model is the heat level control thanks to the integrated smart thermostat. In other words, you can adjust the temperature and select between 4 heat levels – 25%, 50%, 75% and 100%. This helps a lot to save as much energy as possible depending on different circumstances such as weather or your needs. 

Another great advantage of the “Velit Sol” heater is its power. Thus, it can heat larger spaces and heat simply faster than other heaters. This happens thanks to the triple layer of the heating element. The surface of the IR heater “Velit Sol” gets up to 135 degrees. Thus it must be mounted at least 2m from the floor to avoid touching.

You can adjust the temperature, heat levels and set timers using the remote control (included with the heater) and your smartphone. tablet or any smart device.

Besides the heat level control, the “Velit Sol’ also has the “Fast Hot” mode which works as a heat booster. It switches to one heat level higher and keep the level for 3 minutes. Then it goes back to the initial heat level automatically.

Unique Appearance and Easy Installation

Far Infrared Panel Heaters “Domus”

Simple, white and frameless – 3 words that perfectly describe the panels “Domus”. They will complement the feel and look of any interior. And soon or later you will not even notice the panel on a wall. Perfect touch and beautiful, perfect corners exclusively by Royal Infrared Heating.

Thanks to the “Domus” features, you can decide where to mount the panel without affecting the efficiency. It can be in the middle of a wall, below/above a window or in any wall area. The IR panels “Domus” can be only mounted on the wall due to the technology and efficiency goals.

All you need to mount the panel to the wall is included! Each panel comes with the drilling template, dowels, screws and user manual. 

Far Infrared Smart Heaters “Velit Sol” 

The most common question from our customers about the “Velit Sol” is: “Why is it black?”. The reason for that is its high power. Due to the high surface temperature of 135 degrees, the front surface must be always black to avoid any damages or changes to the colour and maintain the most efficient heating. The heater will remain the same after 10,15 and even 20 years. 

Nevertheless, the infrared heater “Velit Sol” looks very luxury and modern. It is not black completely. “Velit Sol” has some bronze parts which adds unique appearance.
