The Benefits of Radiant Heaters

Out of site, out of mind?

Does that turn of phrase sound familiar? Heating is not something that we think about until it breaks down or requires replacement.
If we don't think about it, we don't really research the matter either, until its too late. Timing is critical, especially once the winter sets in.

With that in mind it would be helpful to know all the facts when deciding what type of heater that you require, which will save you time, when it's needed the most.

Radiant Heaters are a popular choice for

• Auto body shops
• Showrooms
• Retail
• Industrial heating
• Factory heating

There are a few reasons why.

Reduced Heat Loss

Rather than heating air, Radiant Heaters heat the objects in the room. These, objects absorb the heat and transfer it to their surroundings, maintaining their temperature throughout the day. This helps to create a comfortable environment for you, your staff and your customers.

The Reduction of Plant Disease in Garden Centres' and Greenhouses'

2 of the most common causes of plat disease, are plant wetness and humidity. Low intensity Radiant Heaters can assist the grower with humidity control, as the keep the temperature above air temperature. Thereby allowing surface moisture to evaporate significantly quicker than with conventional heaters, helping mitigate conditions that promote plant disease.

More Productive Use of Space

Radiant Heaters are a popular choice when considering warehouse heating. In these environments, space is usually very limited. Radiant Heaters are suspended from the ceiling, away from any materials and without taking up valuable workspace. This also applies when considering Factory Heating and various other applications such as retail facilities and showrooms.

Ease of Maintenance

Radiant Heaters as with all heating systems, require regular maintenance, to extend heater life and maintain heater efficiency. Since the entire length of the heater is visible, some of the maintenance can be conducted during normal activities, which could reduce disruption to the business when conducting the annual service.

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.

NRG efficiency in the workplace

NRG efficiency in the workplace

Dale Heating Services are dedicated to ensuring that your heating equipment runs safely and efficiently with energy efficient equipment with some appliances that could save you up to 20% on your annual heating costs.

In the interests of saving you more energy here are our top tips for saving energy in the workplace.

Air Conditioning

ü  Did you know that your Air conditioning units can account for up to 30% of your energy usage. You can reduce this by only using it when necessary and closing all doors and windows when in use.

ü   De commissioning your Air Conditioning in the winter and Re commissioning in the summer could protect your unit from winter weather and debris.

 

ü  With regular servicing you could expand the lifespan of your unit and avoid the steady decline of the air conditioning performance and energy costs.

 

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 %.

Reasons to service your industrial heaters in the summer

Benefits of summer service

Imagine a car that is left for 4 months without even being started, then you need to use it to get to that appointment and it just wont start as it has been redundant for so long. Believe it or not your heating system is not much different.

There are many benefits to having your industrial heating equipment serviced in the summer :-

• Increased availability of engineers - as this is not their busiest of periods the response time will increase dramatically. Available engineers create less disruption to your business and less disappointment, something that Dale Heating Services endeavour to avoid.
• Detecting faults before they cause a problem- Its been a long winter and we have worked our heaters hard. (especially during the snow) there may be some underlying faults that you wont be aware of until you need it the most (when it starts to get cold) when the availability of the engineers is decreased, creating an unhappy environment for you, your staff and your customers.
