The HeatLogik® Advantage

HeatLogik – The most Logical Choice of Heating Technology for Industrial Spaces

HeatLogik – Short Wave Infrared Electric Radiant technology, isn’t just a great solution, we believe it’s the most logical choice of technology when it comes to heating industrial and manufacturing spaces.  Unlike convection heating systems that struggle in challenging environments, HeatLogik will deliver targeted warmth instantly and efficiently, even in the hardest-to-heat spaces.

Whether your facility has high ceilings, poor insulation, frequently opened roller shutter doors, or is constantly battling draughts, HeatLogik cuts through the cold to keep your people comfortable, happy and productive, while outperforming any other heating technology on both effectiveness and efficiency.

Check out the comparison table below to see the key advantages and benefits that HeatLogik technology has over Gas Convection Heating Systems:

HeatLogik - Short Wave Infrared Radiant HeatingGas Warm-Air Space Heating
Can you heat just the people instead of the entire space?Yes, you can target the warmth to only where people areNo, by warming air you have to heat an entire space before you feel warm
Is it a good solution for environments with high ceilings?Yes—it's not the air that's being warmed so it won't rise and be wasted in a high ceilingNo, it's very inefficient because warm air rises
Is it effective in a poorly insulated Industrial Space?Yes. As it's not the air that's being warmed, the heat won't be affected by poor insulationNo, it's very inefficient because warm air will dissipate out of the building
Is it suitable for a space with roller-shutter doors?Yes, air movement will not affect the warmthNo, the warm air will quickly escape out the door making this a very inefficient solution
Is it suitable in a dusty environment?Yes, this is a perfect environment as HeatLogik creates zero air-movement. We have some some unique dust-proof and ATEX rated solutionsNot logical or recommended, as it creates air movement which will spread and circulate the dust around the wokplace
Is it the heating technology healthy?Yes, very healthy. As it creates no air movement it will not spreading dust, viruses and colds around the environmentNo, it's very unhealthy as it easily spreads dust, viruses and colds around the environment with the air movement
Will it help my EPC rating?Yes, HeatLogik will boost your buildings EPC rating because there's no heat loss and it operates effectively and efficient within a poorly insulated spaceNo, gas is very inefficient with high heat loss, so it will not boost your EPC rating
Will it reduce my carbon footprint?Yes, HeatLogik will certainly reduce your carbon footprint because the actual heaters themselves are zero carbon. With a renewable energy tariff you could have a carbon zero solution, but even on a standard tariff it will be a very low carbon solution.No, convection heating within an industrial space does not make logical sense and you will be unable to reduce your carbon footprint
Is it suitable for an environment with high air-movement?Yes, you can target the warmth around people only and it won't be affected by the movement of the air or extractionNo, very ineffective and inefficient because warm air will rise, be blown away or extracted
Does it require a high CAPEX?No, low capital expenditureYes, high capital expenditure
Does it have a low OPEX?Yes, low operating expenditureNo, high operating expenditure
Does it require maintenance?No, zero maintenanceYes, high ongoing maintenance is required
Does it provide instant warmth?Yes, immediate warmth where and when it is neededNo, it takes time to warm an enire space and in cold weather you have to run the heating continuously because of the high heat loss

How Traditional Convection Heating and HeatLogik differs

Traditional convection heating systems heat the air. In a large space this is extremely wasteful as the warm air naturally rises and heatsthe ceiling area, not the people. It can also drift away with air movement and be affected by changes in temperature, such as when roller shutter doors are opened, and escape through walls and roofs due to poor or no insulation.

In contrast, HeatLogik shortwave infrared heating creates an instant pool of warmth, which will not rise to the ceiling or drift away with air movement and be wasted. As a result, HeatLogik is an extremely efficient method of heating, making it the most logical and cost-effective choice for heating large spaces.

Understanding Infrared Heating

Radiant heating, also known as ‘infrared heating’ is entirely different from heating by conduction or convection heating.

Different wavelengths directly affect the radiation capacity and, consequently, the heating capacity in the area to be heated.

Only shortwave infrared from the sun reaches the earth’s surface. It is the oldest, most basic kind of warmth known to humankind.

Heatlogik® vs Gas & Convection Heating

Heatlogik Heating Systems

Targeted heat

Shortwave infrared can be directed at the people who need it, rather than wastefully warming the surrounding room and air.

Low cost

Infrared heaters can be installed by any trained electrician, and will instantly start saving you money with high efficiency.

Zero carbon

Our zero-carbon heaters produce absolutely zero emissions, making them perfect for meeting Carbon Reduction Plans.

Instant heating

Immediate, targeted heat at the press of a button, with complete control over the temperature of your industrial or commercial space.

Gas & Convection Heating Systems

Inefficient

We call convection heaters ‘bat-warmers’, due to the wasted heat that rises to the roof of your warehouse.

Additional costs

To make sure convection heaters work, you’ll also need to consider insulation around your expansive industrial space.

Constant maintenance

Convection heaters have lots of moving parts, which can lead to costly repairs when things inevitably go wrong.

Lengthy warm-up

Heritage buildings can take 4-5 hours to heat with traditional convection methods, raising bills to uncomfortable heights.

Insights

Understanding Infrared Heating

When evaluating whether HeatLogik is the right heating solution for your business or space, it helps to consider both sides of the equation.
Radiant heating, also known as ‘infrared heating’ is entirely different from heating by conduction or convection heating.​
Within the electromagnetic spectrum that identifies infrared rays, there are different wavelengths. Based on wavelengths, infrared rays can be divided into three different categories.
You are outside on a sunny but icy cold winter’s day. Standing in the shade, you can feel how chilling the air is. But standing in the sun you can feel its power and warmth. Warmth which soaks into you. Warming you to the core. Nurturing you.
SunSwitch® Heaters use Short-Wave Infrared technology, which means they do not heat the air, unlike other types of conventional heaters which do.
The Minimum Energy Efficiency Standards (MEES) require that from 1 April 2023, it will be an offence to continue to let or rent out a commercial property if it does not have an EPC rating of at least E. In 2027 a C rating will be required and then a B rating in 2030.
You can be assured to find a heater from our widest choice of specialist infrared heaters to suit your individual requirements and budget.
Local Warming means heating workstations and industrial spaces by using short-wave infrared technology. This provides heat to specific areas without waste and with substantial energy savings.
SunSwitch quartz halogen infrared heaters are ideal for buildings where it is no longer practical or cost-effective to provide comfortable conditions by raising the air temperature.
