Places of Worship Heating
Most places of worship were built hundreds of years ago, where old inefficient heating systems were regularly used and in many. These ineffective heating systems are still being used. Therefore most of these places of worship require a modern energy-efficient heating system.
Churches, mosques, and synagogues are known for their extravagant buildings, usually with high ceilings and vast open spaces. For most, trying to heat a large area for the congregation is a real struggle. Wasted heat is often spent warming chairs, floors and ceiling spaces. Fear not, as our Radiant Heating products warm your worshippers rather than the space around them.
Advantages of Infrared heaters for places of worship
- Energy efficient – as the infrared heaters use shortwave infrared heat, the heat directly reaches the people and objects requiring the heat, meaning little or no heat is lost to the surroundings, making infrared heaters one of the most energy-efficient heating systems on the market.
- Cost-effective – due to the infrared heaters being highly energy efficient and only needing to be switched on when the heat is required, the heaters greatly reduce the heating costs for churches, mosques, and synagogues, particularly during the winter months.
- No pre-heating time – as the infrared space heaters use shortwave infrared heat, heat is provided as soon as the heaters are switched on, and there is no time required for pre-heating.
- Easy to install – the infrared heaters can be mounted on the walls or ceilings of places of worship. Our products offer a range of versatile bracketry compatible with all heaters, making the heaters very easy to install.
- No maintenance – once the infrared heaters are installed, they can be left alone as they are maintenance-free. The heaters can be controlled with various controllers, allowing full controllability.
- Mounting - due to their power, the infrared heaters can be mounted high up and placed in an unobtrusive area in the churches, mosques, and synagogues.
- Safety – the space infrared heaters are usually installed out of the reach of people inside the churches, mosques, and synagogues, and the heaters contain a protective metal sheath that guards the heating elements.
- No noise – the infrared heaters provide comforting heat in silence, without making any noise, particularly useful in churches when heating a congregation that would prefer to pray in peace and silence.
- Environmentally friendly – infrared heating is classed as green energy as there are no direct carbon dioxide or nitrous oxide emissions released from the infrared heaters.
- Large coverage area - since infrared heaters can be mounted high up, they have a wide coverage area per heater.
- Efficient - gas is an efficient fuel, with some modern gas heaters being more than 90% efficient.
- Easy replacement - for churches, mosques, and synagoguesalready with a standard gas boiler, replacing this gas heating system with a new modern gas heater can be fairly straightforward.
