Which electric heating suits a large space?
Heating a warehouse, workshop, church or factory floor is different from heating a house. The air volume is huge, ceilings are high and doors open often, so warming all the air is wasteful. The usual options are:
| Option | How it works | Suits |
|---|---|---|
| Radiant (infrared) heaters | Warm people, floors and objects directly, not the air | High ceilings, churches, warehouses, workshops, areas with draughts or open doors |
| Electric panel or wall heaters | Heat a room or zone by warming the air | Offices, welfare areas, smaller spaces |
| Warm-air heaters | Heat and circulate the air | Enclosed spaces needing quick, even warmth |
Radiant heaters are often the best fit for hard-to-heat spaces, because the heat lands where people work rather than rising to the roof. They also respond quickly, so zones can be switched on only when needed.
Example: St Bartholomew Church, St Albans
An underperforming electric underfloor system left this church cold. We replaced it with radiant heaters from BM Thermic, upgraded the fuseboards, fitted contactors to handle the switching load, ran high-level galvanised steel trunking, and set up time-controlled switching and remote control through Heatmiser. Read the full St Bartholomew Church heating case study.
What we need to design electric heating
- The floor area, ceiling height and how well the building is insulated.
- How it is used: working hours, occupancy and how often doors open.
- The electrical supply and spare capacity. Heating is a large load, and may need a supply upgrade.
- Controls: zoning, timers, thermostats and remote access.
Electric heating is efficient at the point of use, but a unit of electricity usually costs more than a unit of gas. It tends to win where you heat people and zones rather than the whole building, or where you pair it with solar PV. We will say honestly when something else is the better answer.
Where we provide this
SEG’s head office and van base is in Chiswell Green, St Albans. We provide this service for homes and businesses across Hertfordshire, Bedfordshire, Buckinghamshire and North and West London, with the closest and most frequent work around St Albans, Harpenden, Hemel Hempstead and Watford.
Questions we’re asked
Is electric heating expensive to run?
It depends on the building, how it is used and the controls. Radiant heating heats people and surfaces directly, which suits intermittent use. We will talk you through running costs before you commit.
Can it be combined with solar?
Often, yes. Where the building is occupied in the daytime, solar generation can offset a useful part of the load.
Do you service heating we did not install?
We can review existing installations and quote for repairs or replacement.
What is the best heating for a warehouse or workshop?
For high, draughty spaces, radiant infrared heaters are often a good fit because they warm people and surfaces directly rather than all the air. The right answer depends on the building, how it is used and the electrical supply.
Is electric heating cheaper to run than gas?
Not per unit of energy, because electricity usually costs more than gas. It can still cost less overall when well controlled, because you heat only the zones and times you need. Pairing it with solar PV helps.
Do I need a bigger electrical supply for electric heating?
Often you do, because heating is a large load. We assess the supply and any capacity upgrade at design stage.
Do you service and repair electric heating?
We install, control and maintain the electrical side of the systems we design. Tell us what you have and we will say what we can do.
Need it done by a date?
Tell us the deadline. We’ll tell you honestly whether we can hit it — and we usually can.
