Technology
Why thin film carbon heating?
The modern evolution of radiant warmth.
Radiant heating has long been recognised as one of the most comfortable and efficient ways to heat a space. By warming surfaces and occupants directly, heat is absorbed into the fabric of the building and released gradually, creating a stable indoor temperature, improving thermal comfort, and enhancing energy efficiency.
ecoHeatwave builds on this proven principle using advanced thin film carbon technology, delivering clean, even radiant warmth through an ultra-thin heating layer installed behind the plasterboard ceiling.
The result is a heating system that combines the comfort benefits of traditional radiant heat with the performance, flexibility, and simplicity required for modern construction.
All ecoHeatwave heating systems are designed and manufactured in our state-of-the-art factory, located in East Yorkshire
Designed for modern buildings.
Unlike conventional heating systems that rely on bulky mechanical components, thin film carbon heating uses advanced conductive layers to create consistent radiant warmth across the installed surface.
This allows ecoHeatwave to deliver:
- Even, balanced heat distribution
- Invisible integration beneath finished surfaces
- No moving parts or mechanical complexity
- Fast, efficient installation
- Compatibility with modern renewable energy systems
By removing unnecessary system complexity, ecoHeatwave offers a simpler, more elegant approach to delivering comfort in modern spaces.
Built for the future of energy.
As homes and buildings move towards electrification, renewable integration, and lower-carbon performance, heating systems need to work more intelligently within the wider energy ecosystem.
Thin film carbon heating is naturally suited to this shift—working seamlessly with:
- Solar PV systems
- Battery storage
- Smart energy controls
- Low-carbon hot water systems
This makes ecoHeatwave more than a heating system—it becomes part of a connected, energy-aware building design.
Proven principles.
Modern performance.
Thin film carbon heating combines the proven comfort of radiant warmth with the simplicity of solid-state technology—creating a low-maintenance, energy-efficient system designed for the demands of modern construction.

How the system works in practice.
During the day, solar PV generates electricity that can be used immediately within the building, diverted to the hot water cylinder or stored in a battery system for later use. Rather than exporting surplus energy, the system prioritises self-consumption, increasing overall efficiency.
As energy demand shifts into the evening or periods of occupancy, stored electricity from the battery can be used to power Eco Heatwave's zoned radiant heating system, delivering targeted comfort exactly where and when it is needed.
Where required, an air source heat pump hot water cylinder provides efficient hot water generation, ensuring the system remains fully aligned with modern low-carbon building standards.
One coordinated system. Less waste, more control.
By combining generation, storage, and intelligent consumption into a single coordinated system, ecoHeatwave helps reduce energy waste, improve operational efficiency, and enhance control over building performance.
As battery storage costs continue to reduce, fully integrated systems that combine heating, hot water, solar PV, and storage are becoming increasingly viable.
A fully integrated ecoHeatwave system, paired with battery storage, typically costs less to install than a standalone ASHP — and far less to run and service.
