Choosing the right heating type for your business will help keep your customers comfortable. With multiple commercial heating types, business owners should narrow them down based on cost-effectiveness and unique advantages. Commercial heating needs to be able to serve a large space without overly expensive energy bills.
Not all businesses are created equal and will have different heating needs depending on their clients, employees’ schedules, and yearly budgets. Connect can help provide insight into commercial heating types that will serve your specific business. We will explore some of the most common commercial heating types and how they can serve your business.
1- Radiant Heating System
Using electric heating panels or heated water pipes throughout the business will spread the heat evenly throughout the business. These parts are put in walls, ceilings, and walls to help radiate heat easily through the space.
Compared to other commercial heating types, radiant heating types create less noise than forced air systems. Radiant heating doesn’t create drafts or cold spots in your commercial space that can make employees or customers uncomfortable.
Ideal for: High-ceiling spaces, lobbies, and areas where you need silence.
2- Heat Pumps
Installed in the ground or right outside your building, heat pumps take the heat from the outdoors and move it into your building. Heat pumps can provide hot air and cold air depending on the current weather. However, extreme climates with major temperature fluctuations are not ideal for heat pumps. They can struggle to keep up with the demands of extreme cold or hot temperatures.
Heat pumps utilize renewable energy, which will help make your business more sustainable in today’s world. Providing both heating and cooling without contributing to global deterioration puts your business above other competitors.
Ideal for: Mild climates, commercial buildings with moderate needs, and office spaces without much movement.
3- Boilers
Boilers use heated water to emit warmth through radiators in your walls. These heating systems last longer than other systems which can save you money in the long run. One major problem with other heating systems is that they require air filters which will need to be maintained and replaced frequently. Changing out air filters helps keep the air healthy in your business by removing pathogens. Boilers don’t require frequent replacement of air filters in order to keep your space healthy.
Ideal for: Schools, hospitals, large office buildings.
4- Solar Thermal Systems
Capturing the sunlight and converting it into heat energy is one of the most renewable sources for heating your business or office space. Solar thermal systems use UV heat and transfers it to a fluid that is circulated through the building.
While the sun is a renewable resource that is available frequently, weather conditions can affect your UV light collection. Cloudy or rainy days can limit the light you collect and harbor for future needs.
Ideal for: Large buildings, schools, those committed to sustainability, and offices with employees on varying schedules.
5- Forced Air Heating System
Using a furnace, the forced heating system will distribute hot air through ductwork in a building. Ductwork is often used for heating and cooling in a commercial space, which makes it more of a wise investment than systems that only provide heating. Forced air systems distribute the hot air rapidly, which makes it easy to warm up your office or commercial space quickly in the morning.
Ideal for: Office spaces, retail stores, and warehouses.
