Warehouse Heating Solutions

IHC specialises in providing tailored, energy-efficient warehouse heating solutions designed to meet the specific needs of industrial spaces.

Reducing Energy Costs with Efficient Warehouse Heating

Proper heating in warehouse environments is essential not only for maintaining product quality and ensuring employee comfort but also for optimising operational efficiency while keeping energy costs under control. Large industrial spaces, with their high ceilings and vast areas, pose unique challenges in achieving and maintaining consistent temperatures. Without the right heating systems in place, warehouses can become excessively cold during winter months, leading to skyrocketing energy bills, potential damage to stored goods, and reduced worker productivity.

At IHC, we specialise in energy-efficient heating solutions tailored to the specific needs of warehouses and industrial spaces. Our services include designing, installing, and maintaining advanced heating systems such as radiant heaters, destratification fans, and smart climate control technologies. 

Warehouse Heating Systems

Radiant Heating Systems

Radiant heating systems work by emitting infrared radiation that directly heats objects and people within the space, rather than heating the air. This method is particularly beneficial in warehouse settings due to its efficiency in large open spaces. The key advantages of radiant heating include:
  • Efficiency
    Radiant heating reduces energy consumption by focusing heat where it is needed most, minimising heat loss.
  • Comfort
    Provides a uniform heat distribution, creating a more comfortable environment for workers.
  • Low Maintenance
    With fewer moving parts, radiant heaters typically require less maintenance compared to other systems.

Warm Air Heating Systems

Warm air heating systems operate by distributing heated air through ducts and vents, effectively warming the entire space. These systems are well-suited for warehouses because they:
  • Quick Heating
    Quickly raise the temperature in large areas, making them ideal for environments where rapid heating is necessary.
  • Versatility
    Can be integrated with existing HVAC systems, providing both heating and cooling options.
  • Air Filtration
    Improve air quality by filtering out dust and particulates as air circulates through the system.

Air Curtains

Air curtains are an effective way to maintain temperature control at entry points and loading bays in warehouses. They offer several benefits:
  • Energy Savings
    Reduce energy loss by creating an air barrier that prevents warm air from escaping and cold air from entering.
  • Comfort
    Maintain a consistent indoor temperature, enhancing comfort for employees working near entry points.
  • Pest Control
    Act as a barrier to insects and dust, contributing to a cleaner warehouse environment.
