Why You Should Upgrade Your Warehouse Heating

Ben Winrow • September 4, 2015

Warehouses can be difficult to heat given their vast size, so you need warehouse heating that’s up to the task. If your workers have to work in cold conditions, they’ll be unhappy – and if they’re unhappy they won’t be productive so this will impact on your bottom line. If you have old heating in your warehouse or it constantly feels cold inside, now is the perfect time to consider an upgrade.

Energy Efficiency

Older methods of heating a warehouse may not be the most energy efficient. Warehouses can be more difficult to heat than other types of buildings, leading to big heating bills. If you switch to a new warehouse heating system it will be much more energy efficient, saving you money while also helping the environment.

Coping With the Cold

During the British summer, you may not notice that your heating isn’t performing at its most efficient. However, you don’t want to be caught out when the temperatures take a sudden dip – an event that seems to occur quicker and quicker each year! Don’t wait for the bad weather to hit before you realise your heating isn’t up to the job – upgrade now so you’re fully prepared for the cold spell. Your workers will thank you for it.

Happier Employees

You may be worried about the expense of installing a new heater, but it’s an excellent return on investment in the long run. Having poor conditions in your warehouse is bad for morale. In extreme cases, it could have an impact on your workers’ health so you risk losing staff, either to ill health or them leaving to work elsewhere. By ensuring they have good, warm working conditions, they will be happier at work and therefore more productive. Which will have a very positive effect on your profits.

Maintaining Your Commercial Heating System: Best Practices

By Winrow • February 16, 2026

Purchasing and installing a commercial heating system is only the beginning of utilising a new system. The maintenance of heating systems is arguably one of the most crucial elements in ensuring optimal performance, the lifespan of the equipment, and reducing operational costs in the running of a commercial heating system. Importance of Regular Maintenance of Heating Systems To ensure optimal performance, it is recommended that a maintenance program be adhered to based on the facility in which it has been installed and the equipment in place. The idea of preventive maintenance also plays a role in this, making sure that the commercial heating system is routinely inspected and maintained, allowing any small issues to be identified before they potentially become more costly issues down the track. While you may be thinking that sticking to a routine maintenance schedule may not be important, there are certainly downsides to not maintaining your commercial heating system in place. Some challenges that can be experienced include increased wear and tear, more energy can be consumed with outdated and non-maintained systems, poor insulation can lead to wasted energy, and unbalanced heating across areas of the commercial space.
