heating costs of the production hallA warehouse or workshop is always a challenge. Traditional central heating systems can not only be expensive to install, but also inefficient to operate - especially where the space is huge and the temperature drops through high ceilings or frequently opened gates. In such conditions, the following come to the fore infrared oil heaterswhich significantly reduce hall heating costs while providing rapid thermal comfort.

Why are halls expensive to heat?

  • Large volume - Traditional systems heat the air, which immediately escapes to the ceiling.
  • Continuous air exchange - Gates and doors are opened many times during the day, leading to heat loss.
  • Different use zones - not all parts of the hall require the same thermal comfort.
  • High operating costs of central heating - especially where the installation relies on gas or electricity.

Oil-fired heater - an economical solution for the hall

Unlike traditional air heaters, oil heaters infrared heaters directly to people, surfaces and objectsand not the air. This means that heat is felt immediately, even in open or chilled spaces.

The result? Energy is not wasted on heating the entire volume and the cost of heating the hall goes down.

How do oil heaters reduce heating costs?

  1. Zone heating
    Instead of raising the temperature in the entire hall, only those areas where people actually work - production lines, packing stations or loading ramps - can be reheated.
  2. Fast warm-up time
    Thermal comfort appears almost immediately after start-up, so the unit can only be switched on when needed.
  3. Mobility of equipment
    The heater is easily relocated - this eliminates the need to invest in costly fixed systems.
  4. Lower fuel consumption
    Infrared radiation heats surfaces rather than the air volume - so fuel consumption is lower than with convection heaters.
  5. No heat loss under the ceiling
    The heat does not escape upwards, but goes where the workers are.

Practical tips on how to save even more

  • Choose the right heater output - too weak will have no effect and too strong will burn fuel unnecessarily.
  • Regularly service the appliance - A clean filter and nozzle means better efficiency and lower operating costs.
  • Use good quality fuel - Contaminated fuel increases combustion and causes breakdowns.
  • Combine heaters with controls - On some models, it is possible to connect a thermostat, which further improves operating economy.

Where do oil heaters perform best?

  • High-bay warehouses - heating only the work zones instead of the entire hall.
  • Production halls - reheating of machine operators' workstations.
  • Workshop - economical heating of spaces where quick results count.
  • Loading ramps - where conventional heating does not make sense due to constantly opening gates.

FAQ - Hall heaters

Is an oil heater cheaper to run than a gas heater?
In many cases, yes - especially when zoned heating and short duty cycles are used.

What savings can be achieved?
Depending on the conditions - up to several tens of percent compared with conventional heating of the entire hall volume. Heating the warehouse can actually be cheaper as a result.

Can an oil heater operate non-stop?
Yes, but always ensure good ventilation and check the condition of the unit regularly.

Is this solution also suitable for smaller workshops?
Yes - the smaller heater models are ideal for workshops or garages where quick results and low costs are important. What's more, the unit fits well in small interiors thanks to its relatively small size. The high output means that small rooms heat up quickly.

Economical oil heaters is one of the most practical solutions for large halls and warehouses. Instead of investing in costly central systems, you can flexibly heat selected zones and significantly reduce your bills. Thanks to their mobility, rapid heating and spot operation, oil heaters for warehouses and production halls help to reduce hall and workshop heating costs in real terms.
