Infrared Heaters for Churches

Sustainable Heating

Herschel Infrared heating provides churches with the ability to install an energy-efficient, effective heating system that can be tailored to the specific needs of any particular space.

With both zero light and warm glow, low glare heaters available, Herschel’s electric infrared solutions can be powered by a renewable energy tariff to ensure carbon footprints are minimised.

Proven Savings Over Convection Heating: a 'game-changer' for Bristol Church

Trials of Halo heaters in a UK Church over winter 2022/23 showed an 80% reduction in energy used and 63% reduction in the heating bill compared to running the gas heating system.

Per Service this equates to a cost of around £17-20 because the heaters only need to be on for the duration of the service. In comparison the gas system would have to run on full for many hours in advance of the service to heat the church and at current prices would be costing up to £100 per service on cold days.

Why do Churches Choose Infrared?

• • Infrared (radiant) systems directly heat objects and people in a space as opposed to heating the air and circulating it, thereby saving energy;
  • Reduced carbon footprint – with the correct energy supply (any form of renewable energy or green tariff ) infrared heating can be run on a zero-carbon basis;
  • Enables a much more consistent, comfortable temperature for the congregation;
  • Quick, simple installation – infrared heating simply needs an electricity supply and can be wall or ceiling mounted in the correct place (portable solutions also available);
  • No requirement for maintenance checks;
  • Highly controllable – simple operation to ensure the right people and spaces are heated at the right times with no wasted energy;
  • Solid-state, no moving parts – long life solutions;
  • No noise;
  • Choose between zero light and warm glow heaters;
  • Infrared warms the building fabric itself helping to preserve buildings and reduce damp levels.
