With only a month until schools break up for the holidays, many will be counting down to taking off on the two-week holiday. However, it’s also at this time of year that many factories, leisure centres and large open spaces should look to prepare for the winter months, by ensuring they have a heating system in place which is capable of heating the large area on offer. When it comes to heating a large space, whilst there’s a range of heating options available, there’s only one which will be able to adequately heat the area whilst ensuring that it’s kept warm throughout the day – radiant heating supplied by the team here at Heaters Wholesale.

With a number of years’ experience within the heating industry, our team have become experienced in providing various buildings throughout the UK with the perfect heating system for their needs to ensure that come those cold winter days, radiant heating is the ideal system.

There are a number of reasons why this form of heating, installed by our experienced team of technicians is ideal for a large open spaces, including:

Cost Effectiveness:

As many businesses still look to get back on an even footing following the economical climate of the last few years, the cost of various systems is often taken into consideration before purchasing. Fortunately, radiant heating provided by us here at Heaters Wholesale won’t set you back a small fortune and in the long term, it can save you up to 70% on fuel costs compared to traditional boiler heating systems.

Heat Effectiveness:

Unlike other heating systems, radiant heating doesn’t heat the air. Instead, it heats people and objects within the environment, including the floor, which in turn acts as a secondary heating system, helping to raise the air temperature.

Even when doors and roller shutters are open, due to the air not being heated, the heat escaping is only minimal, helping the room or area to stay at a comfortable temperature.

If you’re looking to ensure that come winter your factory/leisure centre is kept adequately warm, then look no further than the radiant heating systems available through us here at Heaters Wholesale. For more information or to receive a quote, contact us via 0116 2697697.

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.

Most of us are probably familiar with under floor radiant heating, which is finding its way into more and more homes across Britain. However, what many business owners or managers may not know is that there’s a similar yet more cost effective way of heating industrial and commercial properties, using the same technology. Here at Heaters Wholesale, we’re recognised as authorities in industrial radiant heating via the use of radiant tubing installation methods. With a variety of different delivery products at our disposal, finding the setup that affords maximum heat for minimum costs is a near certainty.

While under floor heating is useful in the home, it’s simply not practical to install such technology on industrial sites where reinforced concrete flooring is the norm. Instead, we can install standard u/tubes, continuous tubing or linear tubes to the ceilings in your property via a low impact process. The subsequent heating can then be configured using the regular technologies, such as thermostats and similar management systems.

Of course, before we leave you with a professional and reliable system there are a few stages to go through. The first is possibly the most important; it’s the initial site consultation whereby our technicians conduct their first assessment of the needs your facility (and its staff) has. Once this has been completed to standard, the Heaters Wholesale team will draw up plans and methods of installation, all of which will adhere to recognised industry safety standards.

There’s no doubt that radiant heating installation takes time, and some disruption to work may in fact be unavoidable. However here at Heaters Wholesale we’ll do everything we can to help deliver our services at a convenient time, whether this is during a unit shut down or at similarly logical quiet periods. For more information, and to see the range of tubing heat delivery products we have to choose from, please explore our website further.

In any business outlet, heating is essential for a comfortable environment for all staff to conduct their daily work. With numerous heating systems to choose from it can sometimes be difficult to judge which will work best once installed within your premises. One particularly effective system is radiant heating and here at Heaters Wholesale we can supply and install a reliable and efficient system for your property.

The basic function of the radiant heating system is not necessarily to warm the air but to focus on heating the people and objects within a room to effectively surround all occupants in a warm heat blanket. With the aim of being more energy efficient, radiant heating systems act in the same way as the sun through their development of a haze of heat that will then begin to steadily raise the air temperature.

With the constant comings and goings within offices and other commercial premises, traditionally heat held inside the building will quickly disperse when doors are opened. A further function of the radiant heating system is to reduce the effects of this. The floor and objects within the room will maintain their heat so that as soon as doors are closed they will work in unison to quickly begin raising the air temperature once more – and because heat is not carried by the air, the temperature won’t have fallen much anyway.

A comfortable office is most conducive to a productive working environment and a heating system that you have full control over will go a long way to achieving this. Radiant heating has been designed to offer ease of use and offer a cost effective, energy efficient heating solution to a wide variety of different businesses.

Here at Heaters Wholesale we can supply a top of the range, fully functional radiant heating system and then install this to the very highest of standards for you to immediately reap the benefits it will bring. For additional information or to enquire regarding the installation of radiant heating at your premises, feel free to give us a call or fill in our online contact form.

There are numerous advantages to owning a radiant heating system. However, a few design considerations should be adhered to in order to receive the full benefit of a radiant heating system. Here at Heaters Wholesale we believe that to provide the best customer service, product information and design considerations advice should be given freely. At Heaters Wholesale we understand the importance of receiving knowledgeable advice from the experts. Therefore, in this article we offer useful advice so you are able to make a fully informed decision about what product is best for you.

To fully appreciate the benefits of the design considerations incorporated within the design of the radiant heating system a brief understanding of how this kind of heating system works needs to be established. Radiant heating systems are often compared with the sun. Like the sun, a radiating heating system, instead of warming the atmosphere inside a room, will instead warm up the objects inside the room, including the occupiers.

The fact that the radiant heating system warms up the objects and occupiers within a room instead of the moving atmosphere (air), makes the radiant heating system ideal for open and well ventilated spaces. Commercial and industrial sites are a key example of this with their large open spaces or roller shutters, as the employees and potentially some of the machinery will need to be warmed to ensure productivity. Traditional systems which heat the air are venting heat every time doors are opened.

With a radiant heating system you don’t need to worry about finding enough floor space, or indeed losing any. That’s because a key design consideration of a radiant heating system is that it needs to be fitted to the ceiling or a suspended ceiling. This frees up essential floor space that could be used for more productive means.

Other considerations include where to place the radiating components themselves – where is heat essential? And what areas of your building could manage with lower temperatures?

They key advantage to owning a radiant heating system is that it boasts beneficial design features, which contribute towards a highly effective heating system that is extremely cost effective.

After sitting through one of the coldest Decembers the UK has seen for the last twenty years, many homeowners will have been relying heavily on their central heating systems and fires to keep warm. Unfortunately, a typical central heating system can be effective in some rooms and not in others, whilst a fire will only heat the room it’s in, leaving other parts of the house remaining cold. If this is a similar scenario to how you spent winter, then perhaps before the next wave of winter weather takes a grip on the UK you should consider installing radiant heating.

Here at Heaters Wholesale, we appreciate the benefits that come with your regular central heating systems, but we also appreciate and understand the advantages of installing a radiant heating system in your home or workplace – as this in an area we’ve specialised in for a number of years. Below is a snippet of the advantages that come with radiant heaters.

1.    A regular central heating system can only be set to one temperature for the whole property, and radiators can be unreliable. However due to easy to use thermostats which come as standard when installing radiant systems it is possible to alter the temperature in different rooms with this technology, allowing every room to be at a perfect and comfortable temperature for the occupants.

2.    Due to having various temperature settings allowing you to alter the temperature in various rooms, another advantage of radiant heating is that it is more energy efficient than regular heating, as the air doesn’t absorb the heat, instead the heat is evenly distributed throughout the room, keeping the heat in for longer.

3.    As there is a lack of moving hot air with this form of heating, dust particles and dirt that are usually spread with other heater systems aren’t – meaning those with allergies won’t be as affected.

Radiant heating is the ideal heating system to have in place if you want to evenly distribute hot air at a temperature which varies in each room. This form of heating is also ideal for larger premises as it keeps the area warmer for longer.

We are currently enduring in the coldest winter the UK has experienced in over seventeen years. The children may be enjoying it as they venture outside to play in the snow, but many adults will be less than impressed as they have to rely heavily on their heating systems, both at work and at home. Finding the right heater that will adequately heat the property and keep it warm throughout the day is therefore of paramount importance. Here at Heaters Wholesale we’re on hand to help, especially with our range of quality radiant heating – all of which can be used with either natural gas or liquefied petroleum gas (LPG).

Here at Heaters Wholesale we understand that the various forms of radiant heating come with individual benefits, and we’ve briefly outlined the benefits of two forms of radiant heaters below.

Overhead Heaters:

If you’re looking to provide a substantial source of heat to a warehouse or sports centre, the most effective form of radiant heating would be an overhead system.

Installing such a heating system will enable you to maintain the floor space you already have available, but at the same time providing enough heat to keep staff and visitors warm throughout the day.

Floor Heaters:

With floor heaters either heating coils or water heated tubing need to be installed under the floor, which will then act as the main source of heat.

Under floor radiant heating will ensure that as you wake up on those cold winter mornings, as soon as your feet touch the floor, you’ll feel the warmth seep through you, as the heating systems uses the whole length of the floor to provide heat.

Whether you opt for either of the above radiant heating systems or one of the others that are available from us here at Heaters Wholesale, what you can be certain of is that you will be saving money on your utility bills, whilst also keeping your property warm throughout winter.

When you’ve been successful in the heating industry for over 20 years as we have here at Heaters Wholesale, you build up a strong foundation of knowledge regarding how your products and services work. However, while this is definitely the case for all of our engineers, we remain committed to making sure that our customers understand radiant heating and our other services fully. This way, they can have confidence in an installation or repair. Many clients ask us how radiant heating systems work, so here follows a brief description behind this increasingly popular form of industrial, commercial and residential heating.

Radiant heating is often defined according to how it differs from forced or warm air heating. This type of system warms the air, which is then circulated within a building to warm the inhabitants. By contrast, radiant heating, which usually involves the circulation of heated water (Hydronic heat) works by a process called infrared radiation.

Using the same principle as the sun, this type of heat radiates from its source without the need for a circulation medium, thus warming floors, walls, people and objects directly. The beauty of this method, when installed properly by a team like ours here at Heaters Wholesale, is that when warm air leaves a room, the temperature is largely unaffected, as room objects retain their warmth.

Radiant heating involves the installation of panels, radiators or coils within the walls, all of which act as conductors which direct heat into the desired areas. They can be powered by regular gas or oil fired boilers or solar power, and are more efficient in terms of electricity consumption than warm air alternatives.

The basic layout of a radiant heating system comprises a heat source, a pump and various controls, and then the area to be heated. This relative simplicity, which doesn’t waste energy through heat lost via large lengths of ducting, is affordable, efficient and relied upon more and more by a variety of Heaters Wholesale clients.

It’s an unfortunate reality that in the decades gone by humanity has used huge amounts of energy with no regard for the environment, and while this is no one person’s fault, many of us feel the need to do our bit to reduce the affect that our energy use has on the planet. Here at Heaters Wholesale we’re dedicated to helping our customers save energy with their radiant heating for the purposes of enhanced eco – friendliness and extra savings on energy bills. To do this, we rely on the natural efficiency of our innovative technology.

It’s fair to say that the main two forms of industrial heating in use today are warm air heating and radiant heating. Despite their wide usage in similar environments, each type of technology is very different. Here at Heater’s Wholesale, our experience in the industry has shown us that radiant heating is possibly the more efficient option out of the two due to how it works.

Rather than simply heating the air, radiant heaters heat the people and objects in the room, much like a fire does. Warm air heating relies, as its name suggests, on transferring heat via the air itself but unfortunately air is easily lost through opened windows, doors, and draughts etc, meaning that the heat too is lost. Conversely, the objects that radiant heating warms, such as people, machines or the ground are usually fairly stationary within the room and so don’t transfer the heat elsewhere.

We have a variety of radiant heating equipment available; the choice depends upon what level of heating to energy consumption ration you’re looking to achieve. Our continuous low intensity systems for example can offer as much as 91.0% net efficiency! Plenty more information and our contact details can be found on this website; take the time to consider the savings our equipment can offer.

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.
