What Heating Output is Needed?

To work out the heating output required for your home, office, or warehouse you need to work out the room volume, multiplied by the required temperature difference and how insulated your room is:

Room length x room width x room height = room volume

Room volume x Required rise in temperature x Insulation factor (K)

Multiply by 4 for your required BTU

A well insulated house is 1.2K, Average insulation is 2.2K, Poor insulation (such as a warehouse) is 3.0K and No insulation is 4.0K.

So, a warehouse with poor insulation could be;

10m x 10m x 5m3 = 500m in volume

500m x 5C degrees x 3K = 7,500

7,500 x 4 = 30,000BTU.

Now you have your required BTU, you can browse our range of heating equipment to find the solution most suitable to your needs. If your requirement is larger than our individual heaters, you will need more than one heater to fill the space.

It is critical that warm air is dispersed throughout the entire workplace to ensure consistent temperatures.

How do I cope with dense racking?

If your office or warehouse space is filled with dense racking for storage, warmer air can struggle to circulate. You need to choose a forced air rotation heating solution, which spreads the heat further thanks to fans and the pressure.
