Warm Air Heating Myths Busted

Myth #1: Warm Air Heaters are not as energy efficient as other industrial heating methods.
 
Fact: This is not true, every building is individual and the right heating solution will vary from each site. The best way to know is if a highly trained professional conducts a site survey of your property to establish the appropriate equipment for you. Roberts Gordon® provides a wide range of 91% energy efficient warm air heaters, which are available in natural gas/LPG and oil. Floor standing or suspended options are available.
 
Roberts Gordon® also, offer energy saving controls. The NRG controller maximises fuel savings through self-learning optimisation.
 
Myth# 2: I have been advised that a floor-standing heater is suitable for my building, but I have no spare floor space.
 
Fact: It is possible to mount a floor-standing heater horizontally, allowing you to provide the suitable heating whilst preserving your floor space.
 
Myth #3 Warm air heating technology is outdated, the parts are difficult to replace and engineers do not like to repair them.
 
Fact: This is not true. Warm air heaters are still the most common form of industrial heating in the U.K; the spare parts are easily sourced from the manufacturers and can be maintained and repaired by fully qualified gas safe engineers.
 
Myth# 4 I have high ceilings, if heat rises, will I not just be heating the wrong part of the building?
 
Fact: Just because your building has high ceilings does not mean that warm air heating is not suitable for you. It is possible to install heat de-stratification fans that redirect the heat back to the workspace, creating a comfortable working temperature throughout the day.
 
The answers should only be used as a guideline and a qualified technician that holds all of the relevant qualifications to work on commercial and industrial heating equipment must be consulted prior to any installation. This is to ensure the safety and design of your installation, as each application is different an individual site survey must be carried out, to create a comfortable and safe environment for you, your staff and your customers.
