A commercial gas fired warm air heating system is the perfect solution for heating large, open-plan spaces such as factories, warehouses, and sports halls.
By providing an even distribution of heat throughout even the largest of spaces, gas warm air heating systems can help you avoid hot and cold spots, improve the comfort of your employees, and reduce your overall energy costs.
At OKEL, our expert engineers design and install custom gas warm air heating systems tailored to your exact needs. By combining cutting edge heating appliances with a setup that’s custom-fitted to your space, we can help you achieve an effective, energy-efficient heating solution.
Gas warm air heating systems are faster and more effective at heating larger spaces than any comparable solution. As a result, you’ll need to use less energy to achieve the temperature you’re looking for.
As a result of their excellent energy efficiencies and fully modulating capabilities, gas warm air heating systems consume less fuel. That means you’ll save on your energy costs, while still enjoying a comfortable and consistent temperature throughout your space.
Gas warm air heating systems can be customised to suit any situation. No matter how large your space or how complex your heating needs, a gas warm air heating system can deliver a powerful and effective solution.
When installed effectively, gas warm air heating systems are extremely quiet. This is particularly important in busy spaces where it’s essential that people can hear each other easily for safety reasons.
At OKEL, we use a variety of heating appliances for our commercial warm air heating solutions – it all depends on the specific needs of your business.
We focus on providing energy-efficient, environmentally friendly solutions. As a result, all the heaters we use are ErP-compliant, in accordance with the latest Eco Design Directive. They incorporate modulating premix burners and fans to reduce energy consumption and are self-modulating.
This allows the heaters to quickly bring up the temperature in the building by operating at maximum load, before reducing their output down by approximately 60% to maintain the optimal temperature. This approach significantly reduces fuel consumption, helping to limit your environmental impact while also reducing energy costs.
We supply and install wall-mounted/suspended or floor-standing heater models for any size of commercial or industrial premises, ranging from 10 to 150 kw. We offer a choice of natural gas or LPG fuel types, depending on your specific needs.
Strongdor’s large factory floor was proving a challenge for its existing heating system, particularly in winter. With cold temperatures impacting the performance of their machinery, they needed a more reliable solution to keeping the space warm throughout the year.
OKEL’s team conducted a thorough site survey and proposed a gas warm air heating system that would provide 660kw of heat while maintaining high levels of energy efficiency. This was paired with a destratification system to prevent heat from escaping from Strongdor’s high 18m ceiling space – Destratification is the perfect complement to warm air heating systems, as the fans help to recover warm air from above and ensure the heat is then evenly distributed at the lower level where it is of most benefit.
The result? A smaller carbon footprint, lower energy bills, and optimal heating all year long throughout their 45,000ft² factory. For the full details of how we helped achieve these impressive results, read the full Strongdor case study…
After locating to a new business premises, Fortress Technology Europe required an overhaul of the aging systems that they’d inherited from the building. The factory ceiling’s 12m height made keeping warm air at ground level a challenge.
After conducting a site survey, OKEL concluded that the existing electric supply would not sufficiently support electric heating. Fortunately, 165kW in spare capacity from the existing gas system made a warm air heating with destratification solution viable.

At OKEL, we are committed to helping businesses adopt a more environmentally conscious and sustainable approach to heating and cooling their premises. Every system we install, including all our commercial gas warm air heating systems, is designed with energy efficiency in mind. As a result, you won’t just enjoy reduced energy costs – you’ll also be able to take strides towards your own environmental goals.
With the government committed to a bold target of reaching Net Zero by 2050, we all need to do our part to reduce our impact on the environment. By working with OKEL, you can ensure your business is well-prepared to achieve its eco-friendly aims and any environmental accreditations you’re seeking.
Additionally, all our equipment is hydrogen-ready, which will enable the blending of up to 30% hydrogen with natural gas when this hybrid fuel type becomes readily available throughout the UK gas networks. That means your business will be fully prepared for a greener future.
A commercial gas warm air heating system is an efficient, cost-effective, and eco-friendly way of heating larger spaces, such as factories, warehouses and sports halls. It uses natural gas or liquid petroleum gas (LPG) to directly heat the air through a combustion process. This air is then spread throughout the space using fans built directly into the heating units.
Commercial gas warm air heating systems are a popular choice for businesses that need to achieve consistent temperatures in large, open-plan spaces. For factories and warehouses, for example, a commercial gas warm air heating system can prove significantly more cost-effective and energy-efficient than alternative solutions based on convection heating methods.
A commercial gas warm air heating system offers innumerable advantages for businesses with larger and more open premises. By allowing you to heat your space faster and more consistently, you can ensure your employees are comfortable all year round without the need for excessive energy costs. For factories and warehouses, it can also help to ensure your equipment operates at maximum efficiency.
Installing commercial gas warm air heating systems is a specialist task, and you will want to ensure that your engineer is suitably qualified and accredited. A domestic heating engineer will not have the insurance and gas safety accreditations that are needed to fully install and commission more complex commercial and industrial installations.
Further, you’ll also want to ensure that whoever installs your commercial gas warm air heating system can adapt the process to your specific needs. To achieve the best possible outcome, you’ll want a fully bespoke service that begins with a detailed survey of your site.
The specific cost for a commercial gas warm air heating system can vary significantly depending on a range of factors, including the size of your space to be heated and positioning of the incoming gas supply. You’ll want to seek a custom quote based on a full-site analysis to get an accurate sense of the cost involved.
How long it takes to install a commercial gas warm air system depends on the size of your premises and the complexity of your specific needs. It will also depend on whether your property will be in active use during the installation. At OKEL, we are careful to ensure there is minimum disruption to your operations during the installation process, but this can have an impact on how long the installation takes.
A well-designed and properly installed commercial gas warm air system should provide benefits to your business for the long-term. At OKEL, we use high-quality components throughout our commercial gas warm air systems, and all the appliances we use come with lengthy warranties from the manufacturers.
