Factory Heating choices made easier

Key factors when considering Factory Heating

As a manger its hard enough to keep all of your staff happy, the last thing you want to worry about is an uncomfortable working environment If your old heaters break down.

 

So if you have taken that step to consider investing in new industrial heaters then there are some key factors that you should think about.

 

With the costs of energy rising one of they first things you should think about is energy efficiency. Most mangers will go for a like for like heater in order for a rapid installation to avoid disruption to the business. Although this may cost you in the long run, it may be a good idea to consider a site survey which Dale Heating Services can provide free of charge to assess the current needs of your business, and with the heating industry continually evolving there are more energy efficient heating systems than ever to choose from.

 

Warm Air Heating is the most popular choice for factory heating for many reasons including:-



• Low Running costs 
• Ease of Maintaining
• Versatility of installation - Can be Floor Standing, Suspended or Roof Mounted
• Available in Gas, Oil or LPG
• Warm Air Heating can also be ducted to provide heat to adjacent separate areas.
• Can be used for Ventilation in the summer periods.

 The heater location is also a key factor. To avoid obstruction and save valuable workspace you can have your warm air heating equipment either suspended from the ceiling or roof mounted. This also helps if your working environment is quite dusty etc. which may prevent clogging of the system.

 

Although if space is not an issue and your working environment is clean then a popular choice is the floor standing warm air heating ideal for your larger work areas.

 

Other ways that may reduce your energy consumption is with the installation of an NRG control panel that works as the brain of the heater. When the room reaches your chosen comfortable temperature the NRG controller will maintain that temperature of the room so you don't need to keep switching it on and off as doing this could use more energy.

Air Conditioning

Lighting

ü  Consider replacing your incandescent bulbs to compact fluorescent units saving a potential 50% on your lighting costs, as 90% of energy that incandescent bulbs use is given out as heat these are the least efficient types of lighting.

ü  Switch off your lights when leaving the room could save you up to 20% per year on your lighting costs.

 

Heating Equipment

ü  Using Heat Sensors to control your thermostat, not only creates a comfortable environment for your staff and customers but could also save you energy, as these act as the brain of the heaters by sending messages to the controller as to whether the temperature needs to be lower or higher. Although these must be positioned correctly as otherwise it will feed incorrect readings back to the controller which could increase your energy usage. At Dale Heating Services we specialise in the installation of HVAC equipment such as warm air heating and radiant heaters with extensive expertise in the positioning of the sensors for optimum performance.

 

ü  Maintain your equipment- expanding lifespan and could reduce the risk of a breakdown by identifying underlying faults early.

 

ü  Equipment upgrade- Some older heaters may not be as energy efficient as new ones. A site survey of your heating equipment should determine the best heating solution for you.

 

ü  Ensure that your building is adequately insulated, as this could reduce your heat loss by up to 40 %.
