HOW TANSUN HEATERS GREATLY REDUCED HEATING COSTS IN ST MICHAEL'S CHURCH

St Michael’s Church installed Tansun Apollo infrared space heaters to replace their old inefficient underfloor heating system.

Their previous underfloor heating had to be switched on three days before Sunday service, which lasted only a few hours. This proved to be very costly and unsustainable for the church. They needed a more efficient heating solution and contacted Radiant Heater.

ASSESSMENT

Radiant Heater surveyed the building and, with our specially trained staff, carefully designed a heating scheme considering all the various important factors, which included aesthetic consideration, power availability and where the heaters would be best situated based on the requirements and needs of the church.

Radiant Heater offers a free heater bespoke design service for all our clients.

SOLUTION

Tansun’s Apollo infrared space heaters were chosen for the church as they were powerful enough to heat large buildings with high ceilings. Tansun offers a range of bracketry, so the space heaters would be wall mounted at the appropriate angle for the people below to feel the comforting warmth of the infrared heaters.

INSTALLATION

St Michael’s decided to go ahead with Radiant Heater’s proposal, installing the Apollo space heaters during the warmer summer months so they could benefit from the heating system in time for the winter.

The installation was clean from any major building works and avoided disrupting the church activities. The Apollo infrared heaters were specially designed to target space heating for the entire church seating area.

RESULTS

The results from the changeover to our high-quality space heaters were self-evident. The church now has only to turn on the infrared heaters exactly when the heat is required, as the heaters have zero pre-heating time.

This has enabled the church to save a staggering 75% per annum on their heating bills, and St Michael’s church was delighted with the results.

The figures below show the heating costs for the church for the same period before and after installing the Tansun Apollo infrared space heaters. All the figures are data provided by St Michael’s church themselves.

The figures show that St Michael’s church is now saving 79% per annum on heating costs during the main months when the heating is required.
