Choosing the Right Heating System for a New Industrial Build

Every industrial build is different, so each needs a heating solution tailored to its environment and layout. Choosing the right industrial heating system will make all the difference in productivity, comfort, and energy efficiency.

This guide will walk through the steps to choose the right heating system for a new industrial build, including key considerations and the best options for your space.

What to Consider in an Industrial Space

• What is the building’s size? You need to consider the layout and ceiling space to determine the size and number of heaters required.
• What is the facility type? The type of space (a warehouse or factory, for example) dictates the heating requirements.
• What heating levels do employees and equipment need? For example, if you must have the means to heat your employees and equipment directly, you may want to consider radiant heating over warm air solutions.
• What are your energy efficiency goals? The amount of energy a system uses is crucial if you want to keep operational costs low.

The Best Heating Systems for a New Industrial Build

At Combat Heating Solutions, we have two heating solutions that are both highly suitable for industrial environments.

Radiant Heating Systems

Radiant heaters can heat people and equipment directly by emitting infrared radiation. This makes them the ideal solution for large industrial spaces and facilities with poor insulation. If your facility has high ceilings, radiant heating will be especially beneficial.

The main advantages of radiant heating include:

• Targeted heating if you don’t need to heat the entire building.
• They are highly efficient because they can heat specific areas of a space rather than wasting energy heating all of it.
• They require minimal maintenance, making them a very cost-effective heating solution.

Warm Air Heating Systems

Warm air heaters are often a popular choice for industrial spaces, as they are reliable and distribute heat evenly and quickly. They work by heating the air with a heat exchanger, then circulating that warm air using fans and ducts.

The main advantages of warm air heating include:

• Heating the entire facility quickly, ensuring that each area reaches the desired temperature.
• They are practical because they are very easy to install and maintain.
