Infrared heating manufacturers Tansun have helped to improve heating for a church congregation at the Church of St Nicholas and St Peter ad Vincula, a Grade II listed building in the village of Curdworth near Birmingham.
The church congregation was in desperate need of a permanent heating solution to replace the 20-year system they were currently using to keep them warm during the winter months. They needed an efficient system that didn’t take hours to preheat and that blended in with the surroundings as much as possible.
Tansun’s powerful Apollo infrared space heaters and the portable Beaver infrared heater were chosen for the church as they are powerful enough to heat large buildings with high ceilings including the 5m in the nave, with Tansun recommending six heaters to replace the 12 currently in place. A further two Apollo heaters were installed in a side room and at the chancel. Tansun offers a range of bracketry so the space heaters could be mounted at the appropriate angle to warm those below.
Mark Evans, Sales Manager at Tansun, commented, “The heaters are cost-friendly, easy to use and have made such a difference to the church. All the congregation needs to do now is simply switch them on when they arrive and then switch them off again afterwards, no more waiting around for hours to pre-heat the church to a comfortable temperature. Whilst there are many heating options available for churches, infrared heaters offer maximum performance and very low running costs. They are reliable, durable and virtually maintenance-free, and are compatible with a full range of energy-saving controllers which further enhance the efficiency of the products.”
The Apollo range was designed to solve heating issues in large and problem areas such as gymnasiums, warehouses, aircraft hangars and places of worship, and with more than 30 models to choose from, this established product has been proven by Tansun for 30 years or more. The heaters come with high power options, special long-lasting aluminium reflectors, a focused energy beam and a high intensity heat, which due to the highly engineered construction and design can’t be rivalled by other forms of heating for large open spaces.
Apollo heaters are available in 1kW to 18kW versions to heat areas up to 79sq.m, and they can be wall mounted or hung from the ceiling. Tansun infrared heaters also benefit from a two-year warranty.
The Tansun Apollo space heaters are manufactured in the UK with smooth parabolic reflectors which help direct the heat outwards, giving an effective and instant heating solution. The space heater comes as standard with three phase wiring built into the heater, and is available in power configurations of 6kW, 9kW all the way up to 12kW.
