Radiant Heating
We are the UK’s leading high-end radiant heating solutions provider for businesses. Regarding radiant heating, we excel in delivering tailored installation and maintenance services to commercial and industrial companies. Radiant heating provides unmatched comfort and efficiency throughout your workspace, ensuring a pleasant environment for your staff and customers.
What Is Radiant Heating?
Radiant heating is an innovative HVAC system that uses radiant energy to heat commercial and industrial spaces effectively. Instead of relying on air circulation common to most HVAC systems, radiant heating uses radiant panels or coils to emit heat directly into the surrounding objects and surfaces, including floors, walls, and furniture.
These objects then radiate the heat back into the space, creating a consistent and comfortable warmth. This method provides efficient and even heating, eliminating cold spots and drafts. We use electric and gas radiant heating in two ways to achieve this result.
Electric Radiant Heating
Unlike traditional heating systems that rely on warm air or gas, electric radiant heating emits shortwave infrared rays to heat people and objects in the area directly. This provides instant and controllable warmth that is immune to many environmental factors.
Where is Electric Radiant Heating Best Used?
Electric radiant heating efficiently and effectively heat large industrial spaces such as:
- Warehouses
- Factories
- Workshops
- Stadiums
Electrical radiant heaters are particularly suitable for spaces with high ceilings, making them ideal for areas with expansive overhead areas. The heaters ensure that these spaces are heated to a comfortable temperature, resulting in less energy usage than other industrial heating solutions.
Localised Energy Efficient Heating
One of the unique features of electric radiant heating is its ability to target specific areas within wide-open commercial and industrial spaces.
For example, this means that you can focus your electrical radiant heating only on the areas where people are working, such as workbenches, packing desks, and workstations.
This will minimise energy waste and reduce overall heating costs as you’re not wasting resources heating unnecessary areas.
Adaptable, Quick Results, and Draft Proof
Another advantage of electric radiant heating is its quick effectiveness. Just like the sun’s rays, electric radiant heat radiation instantly warms the surrounding area as soon as it is turned on. This eliminates the need for long preheating times, allowing workers to experience warmth and comfort immediately. Additionally, buildings such as warehouses with large open doors or drafts will not lose their heating through the door when choosing electric radiant heat as the radiation is unaffected.
Green Heating with Electrical Radiant Heating
Electrical radiant heating is recognised for its eco-friendly nature and its ability to help reduce a business’s carbon footprint.
Unlike older heating systems that rely on fossil fuels, electric radiant heating systems operate solely on electricity, which, when sourced from renewable energy sources such as solar panels, not only reduces your heating costs but ensures you’re getting it in an environmentally sustainable manner.
By utilising clean and renewable energy, businesses can significantly reduce their dependence on non-renewable resources and minimise greenhouse gas emissions.
Many industrial and commercial businesses are investing in local green energy generation at their locations to help reduce their carbon footprint and operating costs. Now, with electrical radiant heating, their HVAC can be included in that.
Additionally, since electric radiant heating systems do not require combustion or generate any byproducts, they contribute to improved indoor air quality, promoting a healthier working environment.
How is Electrical Radiant Heating Installed and Maintained?
The installation and maintenance needs for electrical radiant heating systems will vary depending on the specific design as we tailor our options to be the best solution for your business’s particular needs.
Generally, electric radiant heating systems require minimal HVAC maintenance, making them an economically sound choice and one that businesses can rely on. These systems typically require fewer components than other heating systems, which results in lower installation costs and reduces the already straightforward installation times.
Maintenance of electrical radiant heating systems is usually limited to basic upkeep and cleaning to ensure consistent quality. Regular inspections can be scheduled with our team to ensure that the system is functioning at peak efficiency while cleaning the fixtures and replacing worn-out parts to help extend the system’s lifespan.
Gas Radiant Heating
This heating system uses radiant tube heaters to deliver heat directly to objects, spaces, and people. Unlike other HVAC systems that rely on blowing warmed air around, gas radiant tube heaters emit infrared heat directly reaching the objects, creating a comfortable and draft-free environment for staff and customers.
Where is Gas Radiant Heating Best Used?
One notable feature of gas radiant heating systems is their quiet operation. Radiant heaters operate silently, creating a comfortable working environment without causing distractions for staff or customers.
Gas radiant heaters are commonly used in various types of premises, including:
- Factories
- Industrial units
- Warehouses
- Community halls
- Garden centres
- Garage workshops.
The versatility and effective results of Gas radiant heating make them a reliable choice for heating large and open spaces, whilst their surprisingly quiet operation makes them a subtle solution to any business heating HVAC.
The Difference Between Gas and Radiant Heating
One of the key differences between gas radiant heating and electrical systems is the fuel source. Gas radiant heaters, as the name suggests, use either propane or natural gas as their fuel source, whereas electric radiant heating systems rely on electricity. This difference in fuel source offers several unique advantages for gas radiant heating.
Energy Efficient Gas Radiant Heating
Energy efficiency is a significant feature of gas radiant heating. By using radiant tube heaters, businesses target specific areas and objects and significantly reduce wasted heat. This targeted heating approach ensures that only the necessary zones are heated, resulting in lower fuel bills and reduced energy consumption compared to traditional heating methods.
Improved Environment Control
In addition to energy efficiency, gas radiant heating is beneficial for people with allergies or sensitivities or workplaces that need to limit the spread of contaminants. Unlike forced-air systems that circulate potentially irritating particles in the air, radiant heaters do not blow air around the space. This means that the air remains cleaner and safer for many manufacturing processes and the staff that conduct them.
How is Gas Radiant Heating Installed and Maintained?
The easy installation and maintenance of gas radiant tube heaters are another advantage. Radiant tube heaters are installed relatively easily as they do not require laying pipes and extensive excavations. Maintenance and servicing of gas radiant tube heaters are recommended annually, similar to the servicing of boilers. This ensures optimal performance and longevity of the system. If any faults or issues arise, our professional engineers can repair or replace gas radiant tube heaters as part of our HVAC maintenance service.
