When it comes to heating buildings like warehouses and factories, choosing the right industrial heating system is crucial. There’s a huge number of different industrial heating solutions to choose from, and it can be difficult to choose the system that best suits your business.

Read on to find out what you need to consider when it comes to choosing a new heating system for your business.

1.      Efficiency

When investing in a new industrial heating system, ensure you choose one with a great energy efficiency rating. This will help you save money on your energy bill and reduce the carbon footprint of your business –without compromising on the effectiveness of your heating.

If you currently have an older heating system and are considering updating it, you’ll often notice that older systems are less energy-efficient than more modern units.

2.      Maintenance

Industrial heating units get a lot of use during colder months – and, naturally, require maintenance every so often.

Before selecting a new unit, consult heating experts (like us!) to discover which heating solutions are easiest and most cost effective to maintain. We stock only reputable, industry-leading brands, and offer maintenance services from fully qualified, gas-safe engineers to ensure your heating continues to run at optimum levels.

3.      Size

If your business operates from a large building, you may need a bigger industrial heating system in order to heat it properly.

The heating units you choose must also fit in the area they’ll be installed in, so consider the space available in your facility. Suspended ceiling heaters can be a great option you don’t have a lot of floorspace to spare.

4.      Type

Another important consideration is which type of industrial heating solution best suits your business. Electric heating is an increasingly popular heating solution – especially for premises without gas or oil facilities. If your building is large or has high ceilings, radiant ceiling heating could be the way to go – a cost-effective, highly efficient heating solution, able to spot heat areas that get the most frequent use.
