answered
You know that
feeling of dread?
Getting out of your nice cosy bed in the
morning, to a cold house.in the knowledge that shortly after, you will be
arriving at work to that freezing factory, or wintry warehouse.
When you’re cold
at work that is the only thing that you can think about, meaning it’s much
harder to concentrate on your work.
You may be
considering installing energy efficient industrial heating equipment but have so
many questions that you don’t know where to begin.
Here are a
few of our most frequently asked questions and answers, to assist you with your
decision
Why is it so important that I get it
right?
There are many
factors to consider when attempting heating your warehouse such as;
ü Size – are you sure that you have the
right system to heat the required space. If your heating is oversized you could
be using more energy than you need to, or if the system is too small then only
that specific area will be heated.
ü Space – if there is a small corner in
your warehouse that you are not using then maybe you could think about
installing a free standing cabinet warm air heater. As these have higher
outputs, you may not need as many heaters installed, this will not only save
you money on your installation but also on your maintenance, as you have less
heaters and will require no access equipment. If space is an issue, then maybe
you could consider suspended warm air heating equipment.
If
these factors are not taken into consideration you could pay too much on your
heating fuel costs.
What fuel do these heaters use?
ü Free standing warm air heaters are
available in oil, gas or LPG
What if I want an oil heater but I don’t
have the space for a free standing heater?
ü Although it is more popular to install
these heaters on the floor it may be possible to suspend the oil fired heater
to the wall.
How often do these units require a
service?
ü It is advised that these units are
serviced every 12 months. This is to assist the longevity of the heaters
lifespan, and to detect any underlying faults that may be present. A summer
service is usually recommended as these faults would be detected before the
winter and could prevent a breakdown when you need them most.

heating be installed?
Warm
air heating is quite versatile and can be used when considering
ü Warehouse Heating
ü Retail and showrooms
ü Auto body shops and repair centres
ü Sports facilities
ü Garden centres’ and greenhouses’ and
many more
