Large, open areas and sensitive equipment require careful temperature control, and with energy costs on the rise, an inefficient heating system can quickly become a significant strain on your business.
Challenges of effective
Industrial heating are:
Commercial Warm Air Heating Systems are a perfect and effective form of heating for large open-plan commercial and industrial spaces such as factories, warehouses, and distribution centres.
The Qwikshift Hybrid Heater is available in two variants. , either full electric or with a gas fired booster.
With a high-quality, expertly designed electric warm air heating system, you’ll be able to improve comfort, reduce energy costs, and cut your carbon footprint.
Radiant heating systems warm objects and people directly, rather than heating the surrounding air. This creates consistent, comfortable warmth, reduces energy waste
Wall or ceiling-mounted options to avoid floor obstructions.
Fully modulating heat output to match demand, saving energy and operating costs, and ensuring consistent comfort.
Includes Summer Ventilation Mode for continuous air circulation and comfort during warm days.
Warms directly without air movement, making it ideal for dusty or sensitive environments.
Creates a quieter, more comfortable workspace.
Great for high ceilings or limited floor space.
Warms people and objects, not the air, making it highly energy efficient.
Efficient, gas-free solution ideal for Warehouses and industrial factory spaces.
Available from 5 kW to 60 kW to suit different heating needs.
Can be wall-mounted or suspended, with optional brackets to angle airflow.
Control up to eight units via one MultiTherm thermostat, with BMS compatibility available.










Available as a fully electric model or with a gas booster for extra heating power when needed.
Operates in heat pump mode around 70% of the time for maximum efficiency. Delivering up to 5 kW of heat output for every 1 kW of energy consumed.
Smart controller technology optimises energy use, adjusting output to maintain comfort while reducing running costs.
Includes Summer Ventilation Mode for continuous air circulation and comfort during warm days.
Sustainability is no longer a nice-to-have; it’s a priority for forward-thinking businesses. At OKEL, we’re committed to supporting our customers in achieving their environmental and energy-efficiency goals through innovative, future-ready solutions.
Every bespoke system we design is built with energy efficiency at its core. This not only helps lower your operational costs but also supports your wider sustainability ambitions, whether you’re working toward green certifications, carbon reduction targets, or simply looking to demonstrate your environmental responsibility.
With OKEL as your partner, you gain more than a high-performance system; you take a meaningful step toward a more sustainable future for your business and the communities you serve.
Delivers powerful circulation, ideal for warehouses with ceilings exceeding 5m high.
Automatically activates the fan when air stratifies beneath the ceiling, ensuring consistent temperature spread .
Cuts the temperature gap between ceiling and floor, reducing heat loss and potentially saving up to 30% on heating costs.
Easy to hang through four eye bolts and chains, quick to position for optimal circulation.
Industrial units can be heated with warm air heaters, radiant systems, or heat pumps, depending on the building’s size, height, and energy source.
Adding destratification fans, zoning, and smart controls improves efficiency, reduces costs, and keeps temperatures consistent.
Yes. Warm air heaters quickly raise temperatures and, when combined with destratification fans, minimise wasted heat at roof level. They’re efficient for large open spaces like warehouses and factories.
Absolutely. Electric warm air heaters and heat pumps can be powered by on-site solar PV or other renewable sources, making them ideal for gas-free facilities aiming to cut carbon emissions.
Industrial heating systems are highly complex and have specific technical and regulatory requirements that must be met. Industrial heating systems cannot be effectively tackled by domestic heating engineers – they will likely lack the knowledge and credentials needed.
To ensure that your system is designed for maximum efficiency and installed in a safe and reliable way, you should work with industrial heating specialists.
Here at OKEL, we have extensive experience in designing cost-effective heating systems for factories, warehouses, distribution centres and more.
There are several indications that your existing industrial heating system may not be fit for purpose. These include:
Excessive energy costs. If your energy bills are consistently high or have risen sharply in recent months, it may be a sign that your system is inefficient and wasting energy.
Frequent breakdowns. If your heating system regularly malfunctions and needs repairs, it suggests that it may be approaching the end of its lifespan or is unable to handle the demands of your facility.
Inconsistent temperatures. If certain areas of your premises are too hot while others are too cold, your system may not be distributing heat evenly.
Employee discomfort. Staff complaints about the temperature in your premises can indicate that your heating system is failing to maintain a comfortable environment.
Slow warm-up times. If your facility takes too long to reach the desired temperature, your system might be struggling to cope with the space’s size or layout.
If you’re facing one or more of these issues, get in touch with our expert team here at OKEL.
We can advise on the best steps forward and ensure you have an industrial heating system that will deliver for the long term.
