Why You Should Choose A Warm Air Unit Instead Of Radiators

Having a reliable heating system is an important part of running a business, especially as the weather gets colder. Whether you’re keeping an office space, restaurant or industrial facility warm, it is important to ensure that you’re choosing a heating installation that is both cost effective and efficient.

The traditional choice is to have a central heating system that connects to several radiators throughout your space. Water will heat up inside the radiator, allowing hot air to move through your room via convection.

Alternatively, you may wish to install a warm air unit. These systems are designed to heat air directly by passing cool air through a heat exchanger, meaning they can work quicker than a radiator to warm up a room. Read on to find out more about the benefits of installing a warm air system in your commercial space.



Speed & Efficiency

The primary advantage that comes with a warm air unit is that these systems can heat up a room faster than a traditional radiator. This is because warm air is being emitted directly, rather than having to wait for radiator water to heat up. As such, these systems can use less energy than traditional central heating, and are therefore cheaper to run.

Space Requirements

Warm air units can also take up less space than radiators, helping you to make the most of your space whilst still ensuring that comfortable temperatures are maintained. This is especially useful if your commercial facility is compact or if you’re looking to design a sleek and modern interior.

Additional Features

Unlike traditional radiators, warm air units can offer a variety of additional features to help improve the comfort level of your space. Many include filtration systems that work to remove dust and other allergens from the air. Others can also be switched to a cool air setting in summer, giving you year-round temperature control.

Heat Distribution

Many businesses will choose to install a warm air unit because they can provide an even heat distribution. This means that these systems eliminate cold spots more effectively than radiators, helping to keep your employees and customers comfortable wherever they are in the building.
