Nobo Panel Heaters
Nobo slimline radiant panel heaters work so well because they are actually a combination radiant and convection panel heater. The radiant component emits comfortable, “soft”, and efficient long term heat, whilst the convection component provides an instant and quick start-up.
The clever and proven design of NOBO is what sets them apart from other panel heaters, and enables them to be used in circumstances and locations where convection panels are not as effective, efficient or practical.
For radiant heat it is necessary to have as much surface area as possible, hence the NOBO panel is approximately twice the length of convection panels with the same wattage output.
The trade-off with NOBO is that they are much slimmer, better looking and modern, with a clean face and can be mounted behind low furniture (such as sofas). It is not essential to install them centrally within a room to be effective.
Radiant heat is regarded by all experts as the superior form of heat.
The convection component of NOBO is so gentle, you virtually have to be “on top of the heater” to feel it! Convecting from the top through the angled louvres allows the panel to be located behind low furniture without impeding its performance. This also means that underneath windows is an ideal location to provide an upward air “blanket”.
Nobo slimline radiant panel heaters are ideally suited for rooms which require intermittent heating, quick warm up, and accurate temperature control.

NX4 Model
Recognized as the most cost effective solution for heating apartments and townhouses NOBØ N4X System offers all the features of a central heating system at a fraction of the cost.
The NOBØ Mini-Central Heating System is ideal for open areas where more than one heating panel is required.
The N4X are NOBØ panels without individual thermostats, combined as a system with a Multi-programmable thermostat/ timer.
NOBØ N4X radiant heating system offers a flexible heating solution for today's lifestyle.
NOBØ N4X panels range in size from 1000 Watts up to 2000 Watts. Panel sizes are determined ensuring correct wattage is provided to maximise performance in every application. Heaters are designed to operate with an intelligent energy management system. Heating panels fix to the wall with mounting brackets (included) and plug into a power point. Heaters are easily fixed to the wall. The heater provides pure radiant heat from the front panel and natural convection from the full width outlet at the top.
Heater Selection
For effective and efficient performance of your heating system, it is essential to size the heating system’s output to the area, or room size being heated. Factors which impact the heating effectiveness, such as insulation, building construction etc. must also be allowed for by applying the “Correction Factors” below.
Step 1 – Determine the correct wattage needed for a room built to current construction standards.
Ceiling insulation rated at minimum R2.5 - Ceiling height up to 3.0 meters - Window coverings with insulating properties.
External wall insulation rated at minimum R1.5 - Window area up to 35% of external wall area
Measure the width (W) and length (L) of the room in meters and use the Sizing Chart below to determine the wattage needed to heat the room. Rooms with an irregular shape, or with an adjoining open space such as an entry/hallway, can be sized by “squaring” them off to make several rectangles, and totaling the wattage required. Wattage required is typically 100 watts per square meter
Running Costs
NOBO panel heaters are available in various wattages (sizes) which correspond to the power used when the heater is operating.
To achieve economical running costs they must be sized correctly for the room to be heated, and the thermostat set at 18-20 degrees Celsius.
On initial start-up when the room is cold, the panel heater will heat continuously until the desired comfort temperature is reached.
To maintain this temperature the electronic thermostat will switch the heater on and off and only draw power for 50% of the time, called “Cycling at 50%”.
Electricity is charged in cents per kW per hour. To calculate the hourly running cost after initial warm up, check your latest power bill for the tariff in cents per kW per hour, determine the size of your panel heater in kW (1,000 watts = 1 kW or kilowatt) and substitute this value in the formula.
Cents per hour running cost after warm up = Cycle rate (50%) x tariff (cents per kW hour) x kW (size of heater).
