Heating listed and heritage churches is complex. Traditional systems risk damaging centuries-old stone, timber, and artwork through rapid temperature changes, damp, or intrusive installation. Infrared heating offers a safe, discreet alternative that provides comfort while preserving historic fabric.
The Risks of Traditional Heating
Convection systems push hot air against cold stone, causing condensation and cracks.
Oil and gas boilers require intrusive pipework and maintenance.
Large radiators and fan units disrupt heritage interiors.
Why Infrared is Safer for Heritage
Infrared delivers gentle radiant heat, avoiding extreme temperature swings. It protects historic materials while still providing warmth for congregations. Panels can be colour-matched or hidden discreetly to blend with interiors.
