Radiant Heating Solutions

At Independent Heating Company (IHC), we specialise in designing, installing, and maintaining efficient radiant heating systems for a wide range of commercial and industrial premises. With over 30 years of experience in the HVAC industry, we provide tailored radiant heating solutions to meet your specific needs.

What is Radiant Heating?

Radiant heating can best be described by considering how the Sun heats the Earth. A radiant heating system heats people and objects within its vicinity rather than the air surrounding them. This method of heating provides several advantages:

Rapid heat-up times
Easy zone control
Efficient operation, reducing running costs
Ideal for spaces with frequent air exchange (e.g., areas with frequently opened doors)

Just as the Sun’s heat energy radiates through space to warm the Earth’s surface, radiant heating works in the same way. The heated surfaces then warm the surrounding air, creating a comfortable environment without wasting energy heating the entire atmosphere.

IHC offers various radiant heating solutions to suit different commercial and industrial applications:

Single linear tubes: Ideal for targeted heating in specific areas.
Herringbone configurations: Features a single exhaust manifold for efficient heat distribution.
Nor-Ray-Vac tube system: Provides consistent heating across large spaces.
Radiant heating panels: Ceiling-mounted panels that offer discreet and efficient heating.
Radiant floor heating systems: Embedded heating elements in the floor for even, comfortable warmth.

Advantages of Radiant Heating

Radiant heaters don’t waste energy heating the atmosphere, unlike warm air heaters.
Heat is directed where it’s needed most, improving comfort and reducing waste.
Radiant systems provide rapid heat-up times, ideal for spaces with intermittent use.
No fans or blowers mean quiet heating, perfect for noise-sensitive environments.
Eliminates cold spots and drafts for consistent comfort.
With fewer moving parts, radiant systems require less upkeep than traditional heating methods.
