At Heritage Heating and Cooling, we supply, install, and maintain heating and cooling solutions from industry-leading brands. This guarantees our customers receive a high quality system which operates efficiently, safely, and reliably.

Choosing the right heating solution

If your business needs a new heating solution, it’s important you get the right type of heating system for your building. Different types of heating are better suited to different work environments (e.g. factory, warehouse).

There are several factors to consider when replacing your industrial heating system:

  • Efficiency: New systems are designed with energy-efficiency in mind – keeping running costs down and saving money on your energy bill.
  • Size: Your heating system should be of a size appropriate to your building (i.e. larger buildings require larger heating systems).
  • Type: Ceiling mounted, radiant heating, electric heating – there are plenty of options to choose from, and certain types will better suit your business.

When it comes to heating solutions, we put our trust in two top brands: Powrmatic and Reznor.
