Infrared cabins for apartments and rentals

Indicative band: 3,0 – 5,1 million NGN, supplied and installed in Nigeria.

Infrared cabins for apartments and rentals

What it is and is not

Infrared heats you rather than the room: 45-60 °C, 1.5 to 2.5 kW from an ordinary socket, ready in twelve to fifteen minutes. No water on stones, no löyly, none of the ritual.

What it gives you here is a load a 5 to 10 kVA inverter will carry comfortably, no drainage, no supply upgrade, no body corporate submission and nothing fixed to a building you may not own.

Humidity and electronics

The one thing it dislikes is being shut in a damp unventilated room for months. We site them in ventilated spaces, specify a cover for properties that stand empty, and include them in a shutdown routine where there is one.

Where it goes

The end of a bedroom, a wide corridor, or a covered balcony with a sheltered socket. Not open to lagoon air, and not in a room that stays shut for a season.

In short

  • 1.5–2.5 kW — a load an ordinary inverter carries without drama
  • No drain, no supply upgrade, no fixed alteration to the building
  • Ventilated siting, and a cover for properties that stand empty
  • Full-spectrum carbon panels, low-EMF wiring spec available
Questions

Infrared cabins in Nigeria

Will my inverter run it?

Almost certainly. It is the one heat cabin that does not need a conversation about your battery bank.

Is it suitable for a rented apartment?

It is the obvious answer: nothing fixed to the building, and it moves when you do.

What does a session cost?

About 1.3 kWh for forty minutes. Closer to a kettle than an air conditioner.
