A building with a large volume like a traditional church with a high atrium presents many challenges to overcome. The high ceilings and large open spaces mean that heating the air is extremely expensive. In addition, to heat a poorly insulated and infrequently used building from cold to a comfortable air temperature would take a very long time and consume a great deal of energy.

In many traditional churches, it would not be permissible to fit heaters to walls or suspend them from the roof for aesthetic reasons. Any source of heat would also have to be silent and as unobtrusive as possible. We have a variety of infrared heating solutions that could be considered for use in churches and similar old and high heat loss premises.

For new church buildings, where heaters can be fixed to the wall or ceiling, the ECOSUN TH or the ECOSUN S+ range should be considered. Both options provide highly efficient infrared heating for large spaces. For office spaces where the ceiling is an option we would recommend our ECOSUN CR ceiling mounted units.
