Radiant Heating for Factories

Friday, October 29th, 2010

Monday mornings at the best of times can be the worst part of the week – Bob Geldof and the Boomtown Rats even sang a song about the distaste for Mondays, but getting up and going to work in a cold factory on a Monday morning in winter can be unbearable, especially as factories take a long time to warm up. Fortunately here at Heaters Wholesale, we can supply radiant heating which will provide adequate heat to the factory and keep it warm throughout the day – no matter how many times the doors are opened and closed.

Unlike central heating systems and portable heaters, radiant heaters don’t heat just the air, instead this form of heating directs the heat lower down, towards the people and objects present in the room. By doing this the heat stays in the room for longer as the items that are heated act as secondary heaters.

Along with distributing the heat evenly throughout the factory, radiant heating won’t circulate the dust that is likely to be lying around your factory, so you and your staff will be able to work in a room which is at the perfect temperature (even in the winter) without having to worry about being affected by dust in the air.

Working in a factory can be a noisy business at the best of times, along with fighting the sound of various machines; you don’t want to have to fight with the heating system to be heard. Luckily, radiant heating supplied by us produces less noise than other heating systems.

For the last two decades, despite being based in the Midlands here at Heaters Wholesale we’ve been providing factories nationwide with radiant heating to keep their staff warm during the winter months. As a Gas Safe registered company, when contacting us, you know you’ll be getting respected and reputable work.

Radiant Heating for Winter

Friday, October 22nd, 2010

During the winter months, it is bad enough getting up when its pitch black, leaving your house while it’s the street lights are still on and then finishing the day by getting home from work, once again, in the dark. Doing this in a cold house before getting to work in a freezing cold building just makes winter that little less enjoyable. Fortunately, here at Heaters Wholesale we can help with the heat element by installing radiant heating systems, which get to work quicker than some of the central heating systems many of us rely on.

Since the 1990s we’ve been providing households and business throughout the United Kingdom with excellent heating options to make sure that when Jack Frost is nipping at their toes, they are able to warm up with a reliable and effective heating system in the comfort of their homes or businesses.

In recent years here at Heaters Wholesale we’ve seen a number of our customers asking for radiant heating to be fitted at their property and these customers are gaining from all the benefits that come with such heating systems, especially during the cold wet winter months (which somehow seem to get colder and wetter each year).

Unlike the usual central heating systems many of us have or the warm air heaters which are common throughout warehouses, offices and shops in the UK, radiant heating doesn’t blow the warmth sporadically throughout the room or just heat the air. Instead, it distributes heat evenly and heats the people and objects in the room – which keeps the warmth circulating for longer.

Here at Heaters Wholesale our team of heating engineers are all Gas Safe registered, so when they are carrying out any heating installations for you – whether it’s radiant heating or warm air heating, you’re able to relax knowing that it’ll be to the highest standards and all work will comply with UK legislation.

Maintenance for Warm Air Heaters

Friday, October 15th, 2010

If you’re responsible for the well being of a team of employees, you can appreciate how quickly the pressure can build up when something goes wrong. If your warm air heaters were to fail for example, there’s little doubt that cold and disgruntled staff would quickly make their feelings known. Furthermore, premises which are visited by customers or clients run the risk of losing custom, simply due to patrons being cold. Here at Heaters Wholesale we aim to shoulder the pressure by undertaking maintenance for industrial heaters which helps to ensure their continued efficiency and reliability.

Whether the team here at Heaters Wholesale has installed the heating system or not, our engineers are fully qualified to service warm air systems and carry out the necessary safety checks. It’s worth avoiding water based heating specialists who aren’t experts in warm air designs, as often a lack of knowledge and the appropriate qualifications can lead to unnecessary, even dangerous work being carried out on your property.

When commissioned to service a system, we carry out any legally required safety checks as a matter of priority. These include ensuring that systems have the correct amount of ventilation and that any filters present are clean and functioning correctly. Clogged or old filters can lead to the circulation of dust, as well as a risk of fire in some extreme circumstances.

Maintenance packages are available for low costs which are the logical way of protecting your staff and keeping your property warm all year round.

Remember that it may be the case that your warm air heaters are also used as air conditioning units, so it’s doubly important that they’re maintained during the long winter months in anticipation for the hotter summer temperatures.

The Benefits of Radiant Heating

Friday, October 8th, 2010

During the colder months, there’s nothing less appealing than working in a factory or warehouse that seems to take an age to heat up. Unfortunately, a lot of heaters don’t seem to be able to build the temperature of the room up quick enough – and when they have finally heated the room, the heat is lost as soon as a door is opened. Fortunately, here at Heaters Wholesale, we have a solution in the form of radiant heating. This form of heating will not only heat your room up quickly but it’ll also help keep the heat in.
Radiant heating is a well established technology which, alongside warm air heaters, represents the heating of choice in homes and businesses up and down the United Kingdom.

Although warm air heaters have their own advantages, such as being proven to save money and energy in the long run, radiant heating from Heaters Wholesale can be more advantageous – and not just because they can heat the room quicker.

Unlike other more established forms of heating, radiant heaters distribute the heat throughout a room evenly. This is possible, because instead of sending the heat upwards they heat the floor, people and objects in the room - which then act as another heating source and help to keep the warmth in the room for longer.

In addition to evenly distributing the warm air, radiant heating is more beneficial for those who suffer from allergies than traditional warm air heaters because they don’t circulate dust or dirt.

Here at Heaters Wholesale, for the last two decades we’ve been providing businesses throughout the UK with radiant heating. All of our team are Gas Safe registered, so we can promise you that your heating will not only be more effective but also safe.

Warm Air Heating Installations

Friday, October 1st, 2010

For those of us who live in older houses in particular, there’s something comforting about falling asleep at night to the sound of gurgling central heating systems. To put it simply, this technology works by circulating hot water around a property, and certain rooms can be targeted by enabling or disabling specific radiators. Whilst this may have its benefits for domestic properties, it’s usually an expensive and inefficient way of heating a commercial or industrial building. Here at Heaters Wholesale we specialise in the installation and maintenance of a much more logical alternative; warm air heating.

This type of technology is frequently used as industrial heating and involves the manipulation and transportation of a building’s air as a way of ventilation, heating and regulating temperatures. In basic terms there are two types of warm air heating, and the team here at Heaters Wholesale are experienced in the installation of both within a number of diverse environments.

Forced air heating as the name suggests involves the circulation of warmed and filtered air via ducting in order to maintain a regulated temperature. If your building consists of large open spaces which tend to be cold then this system is ideal. The Heaters Wholesale team can install all the necessary equipment to ensure a lasting heating facility. In addition to discreet ducting, components also include a heat exchanger unit/element and filters if desired. Conversely, natural ventilation relies on the natural process of hot air rising and cold air being drawn into its place.

By monitoring and regulating this process these systems are effective at maintaining a consistent temperature which ensures your team can get on with work in comfort. Overall, with energy savings of up to 20% translating into significant financial gains, a warm air heating installation from the Heaters Wholesale team could be the way forward for you and your company.
