Challenge:

Manchester Arts & Craft Centre faced significant challenges with its old heating system

• "We had fan heaters which only heated about 1.5 meters in front of them and most of that heat would rise into our high ceilings. They used up a huge amount of energy too.
• We are always trying to become more sustainable as an organization and one of the main contributors to our carbon output is heating. We wanted to be more environmentally friendly with our heating choice, we also wanted to make sure that the heating was effective as this can be a cold space over the winter months.
• Cost was another big issue for us and we transferred over to a renewable energy supplier."

Solution:

Our team at IHS worked with the MCAD to understand the needs of the customer, and designed and supplied an advanced infrared heating solution that addressed their challenges. We used our powerful Infrared Bar heaters to ensure a high output which was required, while ensuring that the new heaters do not take up a lot of space, as wall space was already limited

Results - Client Testimonial

"With the new heating units and energy supplier our costs have reduced significantly. Whilst we are a large building which has always been difficult to heat, we have noticed a big difference with the new heating system. The heat seems to reach further than before and has turned the centre into a far more comfortable place for customers and makers to relax in the cold winter months. We chose Infrared Heating Supplies because of the product choices, great website and fantastic services. The follow up service has been exemplary."
