Efficiently heating large warehouse spaces has always been a challenge. With large floor areas, high ceilings and constant air movement, conventional heating systems become costly. However, infrared heating systems offer a different approach that align better with warehouse environments.
At Inergy Group, this month’s blog offers a guide to infrared heating and how it works in large warehouse spaces. For more information, call us on 01204 929999.
What is Infrared Heating?
Infrared heating works by converting electricity into radiant heat. By infrared waves that travel through the air, energy is transferred directly to solid objects. When infrared strikes a surface, it is absorbed and converted into heat, providing instant warmth.
How Infrared Heating Operates in a Warehouse Environment
In large warehouse spaces, infrared heaters are often mounted at high levels. Once activated, the heater delivers precisely where work is taking place. As a surface warms up, they release heat slowly, creating a consistent and comfortable working temperature.
High ceilings are one of the biggest sources of inefficiency for traditional heating systems, as warm air naturally rises. With infrared heating, the heat is directed downwards and there is no reliance on air circulation. This reduces temperature fluctuations and cold spots common with air-based systems.
Energy Efficiency and Running Cost Benefits
One of the main reasons warehouse operators switch to infrared heating is down to energy efficiency. With its targeted approach, you will see measurable reductions in energy use and long-term operating costs.
Warehouses are dynamic environments. As loading bay doors constantly open and close, forklifts pass through, and ventilation systems run continuously, infrared heating greatly reduces rapid heat loss.
In addition to this, you benefit from reduced maintenance and lifecycle costs. Due to their simple design, infrared heating systems typically require minimal maintenance. At Inergy Group, we offer specialist industrial and commercial heating maintenance services. We support various businesses across the UK with long-term maintenance contracts, one-off servicing and responsive repairs.
