Is Radiant Heating Safe?

Thursday, April 21st, 2011

As summer fast approaches many of us will be looking forward to the week or two that we have away, basking in the sun, whilst the children enjoy the freedom they’re given to play and enjoy the beach. The sensation of the sun shining down on us and giving us the opportunity to enjoy the great outdoors is something many will look forward to all year round. Imagine having that level of comfortable heat available within your property throughout the winter months? Thanks to the quality radiant heating which we here at Heaters Wholesale can both supply and install, you can.

For a number of years our team have been providing excellent heating products to a range of domestic and commercial customers, ensuring that during the cold winter months their premises are adequately heated in an energy efficient way.

Not only are we able to supply you with quality products and install them to ensure that they’re working to their best ability; but through the knowledge we’ve picked up within the industry we’re also able to offer you expert advice about each of the systems we install – to dispel some of the myths.

Myth:

Radiant heating relies on ultraviolet radiation.

Fact:

Despite its name, this form of heating has nothing to do with ultraviolet radiation, it doesn’t produce UV rays and nor does it have any link to atomic radiation.

Myth:

Gas heating and other forms of heating are safer.

Fact:

Despite their popularity, other forms of heating aren’t as  safe as radiant heating. It’s widely accepted that because radiant heating doesn’t rely on any fuels or naked flames, it is in-fact one of the safest forms of heating available for homes and business.

Another factor which makes radiant heating a safer alternative to other forms of heating is that there are no moving parts which can cause damage or become broken. This also saves you money in terms of maintenance and repairs. For more information surrounding the heating systems we supply, please contact us via our online enquiry form.

The Different Types of Industrial Heating

Friday, April 15th, 2011

In the current market, there are various types of industrial heating systems, so how do you choose the correct one for your company? With our wealth of experience, the team at Heaters Wholesale can help you with your dilemma. There are numerous heating systems, so choosing one depends entirely on your requirements.

Firstly, to discern the best industrial heating unit for you, you need to assess the amount of free space that you have available. If you have a limited amount of space available, then we would recommend a suspended heater. A suspended heater can be attached to the wall or even the roof. This frees up valuable floor space, and significantly limits its impact on your business.

If however you have large areas of free space, then a floor standing heating system is ideal. It is quick and easy to install, and due to its position on the floor it is easy to maintain.

Space is not the only requirement to consider when choosing your heating system. If you are choosing a heating system which focuses upon the occupants of the room, to create a comfortable environment for them to work in then you will need a heating system which distributes heat evenly.

We have two types of heating system and both work in entirely different ways. Our radiant heating system works by heating the occupants of the room. This type of heating system is better suited for those looking for heating systems in large, open and ventilated areas.

Contrastingly, our warm air heating works by warming the air within the room instead. This is good for an area which is enclosed, as in a ventilated area the warm air would be easily lost.

With our expert knowledge you will be able to find the optimum industrial heating system for your company. We have extensive experience surrounding heating systems, and therefore our services range from offering advice, supplying, installing and maintaining heating systems.

Advantages of Natural Ventilation Systems

Friday, April 8th, 2011

Now that spring is well and truly upon us and the weather outside is warming up by the day, many businesses throughout the UK will be looking at ways to ensure that they keep their premises adequately cool and well ventilated. Opening the windows can help improve the flow of air coming through the office, however the best way to ensure that you have a constant comfortable temperature throughout the day is by installing natural ventilation systems available through us here at Heaters Wholesale.

This form of air conditioning allows air to move around the property freely, supplying each room with an adequate amount of warm and cool air to ensure the temperature stays constant and pleasant. Through natural ventilation, the hot air rises naturally, escaping through installed vents within ceilings, walls and window frames, whilst the cool air is drawn in through the vents.

If you’re looking for a natural ventilation system, there are two forms to consider – wind driven and stack ventilation; both of which are guaranteed to provide your premises with a comfortable environment throughout the year.

Both the wind driven and stack ventilation systems are guaranteed to provide your building with a range of benefits including:

•    Reduction in Energy Costs – it’s estimated that natural ventilation systems can save a property anywhere between 10% and 30% of the building’s energy consumption; which in a time when energy bills are constantly increasing is ever important.

•    Little to no maintenance – due to the system requiring no filters, pumps or fans it requires little to no maintenance; meaning once it has been installed you won’t be paying out for any other costs anytime soon.

Before the hot weather takes its toll on your office or home, why not contact us here at Heaters Wholesale and take advantage of our fantastic natural ventilation systems which will see a comfortable and constant temperature flow throughout your property all year round.

Government Factory Ventilation Regulations

Friday, April 1st, 2011

As an employer you have certain health and safety regulations to uphold in the workplace, in order to adequately preserve the health and safety of your employees. At Heaters Wholesale we have a thorough knowledge of Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Act 1992, and appreciate that without professional help these standards would become difficult to maintain. To make sure that you are adhering to this legislation, the team at Heaters Wholesale have devised a small guide to outline the regulations regarding factory ventilation – and why they’re so important.

Health and Safety: Ventilation Regulations

To comply with the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) 1994 Act, a working environment should provide adequate ventilation of fresh clean air, obtained from an outside source. This should deliver sufficient air movement without causing excessive draughts.

Even distribution of air sourced from outside should be provided to adequately remove any vapours which would otherwise be hazardous to your employees’ health. Where necessary you will need to source mechanical ventilation systems, and provide regular maintenance.

You should maintain a working environment which is comfortable. This is often subject to personal preference, but where necessary personal and environmental factors need to be considered. This can include the type of clothing your employees’ work in or the heat systems which are in place.

Ventilation systems are vital, especially in a working environment where vapours are often involved. To uphold appropriate health and safety regulations you need to speak to a professional in order to source a ventilation system which delivers the best protection for your employees. If you would like a professional to inspect your premises and offer advice regarding your current ventilation system, or you would like an annual maintenance service check, then contact Heaters Wholesale today.
