Suspended HeatersSuspended Heaters are an essential part of any working space, as they keep the space warm for workers when temperatures start to drop.
That's especially important when temperatures start to drop and you need those warm air units to keep everyone comfortable.
A suspended heater is a popular choice for businesses as they don't need as much space as other types of heater. They're flexible too, as you can get gas and oil versions, as well as some versions that are bio fuel compatible. If you need to free up floor space, or you have regulations that don't allow for floor standing heaters, then these are the ones that you're likely to use.
Radiant Tube Heaters
The Radiant tube Heaters are usually installed in warehouse or units where the doors are regularly or frequently open to the outside for example to let more deliveries in or being left open for longer periods of time.
These heaters are designed to warm people and objects, rather than the air around them. They can provide instant warmth by emitting infrared radiation from a hot surface, and as such they're highly useful for keeping staff warm in cold environments.
Regular Servicing of HeatersIt is very important that you have a regular commercial heater service in place, you should have them checked over by a qualified engineer at least once every 12 months. This is so you can get a gas safety certificate, and operate those heaters legally so your insurance it is valid in case of any unforeseen circumstances.
How Is a Suspended or Radiant Heater Servicing Done?Both suspended & radiant heaters pose a little more of a challenge to service technicians, as they're suspended up high in your building usually an average between 2.5-5 meters high. In most cases the use of a height platform is normally needed so we can work on the heater in question. In other cases the use of a cherry picker would be needed. To avoid any extra costs we always carry out a first inspection so we can work out an accurate quote for you.
Most servicing will take around 1–2 hours, depending on the type of heater you're using. For example, if your suspended warm air units are gas fuelled, then the checks can take longer as they're subject to more stringent requirements.
Once everything has been checked, and any relevant repairs have been made, you will get your safety certificate and the heaters will be ready to use again.
