Warehouse Heating Solutions
Efficient, Reliable Heating Systems for Warehouses of Every Size
From compact industrial units to large-scale distribution sheds, Hadar Industries supplies warehouse heating solutions designed to keep your workforce comfortable, your energy bills low, and your operations running smoothly. We offer a complete range of industrial heating systems tailored to the unique challenges of warehouse environments across the UK.
​
Why Warehouse Heating Requires a Specialist Approach
Warehouses present a set of heating challenges not found in other commercial buildings. Mixed-use layouts often combine racked storage areas, open floor spaces, mezzanine levels, and light manufacturing or assembly zones. Loading doors are opened repeatedly throughout the working day, causing rapid heat loss and temperature fluctuations.
​
Choosing the wrong heating system for a warehouse means wasted energy, uneven temperatures, and unhappy staff. Choosing the right one means lower running costs, consistent comfort, and a heating infrastructure that adapts as your business grows.
Our Warehouse Heating Systems
Warm Air Heaters for Warehouses
Warm air heaters are one of the most popular and cost-effective warehouse heating solutions available. Available as suspended ceiling-mounted or floor-standing models, they can be installed as free-blowing units or connected to a ducted distribution system for precise heat delivery across large floor areas.
​
Our warm air heaters support a wide choice of fuel types, including:
-
Natural gas
-
LPG
-
Oil
-
HVO (hydrotreated vegetable oil)
-
LPHW (low-pressure hot water)
-
Electric
​
This fuel flexibility makes warm air heating suitable for virtually any warehouse site, whether connected to mains gas or operating off-grid.
​
Destratification Fans
Heat rises. In a tall warehouse, this means expensive warm air collects at roof level while workers at floor level remain cold. Destratification fans solve this problem by gently recirculating air from ceiling to floor, eliminating temperature gradients and improving the efficiency of your heating system.
​
When paired with warm air heaters, destratification fans can reduce heating energy consumption significantly, making them a smart addition to any warehouse heating strategy.
​
Radiant Heating for Targeted Zones
Radiant heating systems work differently from warm air: instead of heating the air, they heat people and surfaces directly, much like the warmth of sunlight. This makes radiant heating exceptionally efficient for targeted areas such as:
-
Marshalling and dispatch zones
-
Packing stations
-
Loading bays
-
Workstations and assembly areas
​
Because radiant heaters do not need to warm the entire warehouse volume, they deliver comfort exactly where it is needed, without the energy cost of heating unused space.
​
Hybrid Heating Systems
For larger warehouses seeking a low-carbon, high-efficiency solution, hybrid heating systems combine air-source heat pumps with condensing gas boilers to deliver outstanding performance across a wide range of operating conditions.
​
Hybrid systems can work with warm air units, giving you flexibility to design a solution that matches your building, your budget, and your sustainability goals. As grid electricity becomes cleaner, hybrid systems grow progressively greener over time.
Air Curtains for Door Openings
Frequently used loading doors are one of the biggest sources of heat loss in any warehouse. Air curtains create an invisible barrier of fast-moving air across the door opening, preventing warm internal air from escaping and stopping cold external air from entering.
​
Available in horizontal overhead mounting or vertical side mounting, air curtains are effective above pedestrian doors, roller shutter doors, and large vehicle access openings. They also help keep out dust, insects, and airborne contaminants.
Air Rotation Systems for Very Large Spaces
For distribution centres and very large warehouse buildings, air rotation systems offer a highly effective variation on traditional warm air heating. By drawing air in from floor level and discharging it at high velocity across the ceiling, air rotation units create a continuous circulation pattern that distributes heat evenly throughout even the largest spaces, without the need for extensive ductwork.
Choosing the Right Warehouse Heating Solution
​
Key Factors to Consider
Building Size and Ceiling Height
Taller buildings lose more heat through stratification and require more powerful heating. Destratification fans and air rotation systems become increasingly cost-effective as ceiling heights increase.
​
Layout and Usage Zones
A warehouse with defined zones such as storage, packing, and despatch may benefit from a combination of systems: warm air for general background heating with radiant units providing focused comfort at workstations.
​
Door Frequency and Type
Sites with high door traffic should always consider air curtains as part of the heating strategy to prevent excessive heat loss at openings.
​
Fuel Availability and Sustainability Goals
We can design solutions around the fuels available on your site and your net zero commitments. Hybrid systems offer the clearest path to long-term carbon reduction while maintaining the reliability of gas backup.
