Commercial Boilers, Heating & Hot Water
Commercial Warm Air Heaters
Commercial warm air heaters have a number of factory and warehouse applications among others. They are a solution to heat even large spaces by pulling cold air in and using a heat exchanger to warm it before distributing it into the building to increase the temperature.
Our team of experienced HVAC professionals can install commercial over door heaters and warm air heaters across Yorkshire, or provide maintenance services to ensure your existing heater is functioning to its full potential.
These systems come in a variety of styles and take different fuels depending on your needs. You can use LPG, propane, electric, biofuels, gas, and oil to fuel the system. They’re a versatile way to heat a space.
Hot air is created using forced convection and circulates throughout the building. Instead of commercial boilers and “wet” central heating systems, you can use systems such as a warm air heater. In some situations, they may help you to save up to 30% on the fuel bill, too.
Commercial Air Curtain Design
Commercial door air curtains are a popular solution. They are designed to project a jet of hot air downwards whenever a door is opened. This serves to create a “curtain” of warm air. It prevents hot or cold air from transferring and leaving warm premises.
A commercial air curtain or over door heaters can be an excellent solution for businesses where the doors are regularly opening, such as a supermarket, retail shop or office entrance.

Suspended or Floor-Mounted Industrial Air Heaters?
A lot of the commercial over door heaters are suspended above the doors, but there are also cabinet heaters, which are installed on the floor.
This has pros and cons. They can provide a lot of warm air distributed from all angles around a large space such as a warehouse, but they do also take up floor space that could be put to use.
The floor-mounted models tend to come with vents and nozzles which give you the option to direct the air. Depending on the model, you may need to connect them to ductwork, another area our expert team can advise you on before you make the final decision.
