Struggling with your
Sports Hall Heating System?

Providing a comfortable environment for your customers is a top priority – it can make all the difference between a one-off visit and long-term support.

But to deliver the year-round warmth your customers expect, you’ll need to tackle several difficulties, including:

Large, open spaces.

Why?

The dimensions and ceiling height of sports halls and leisure facilities make them a significant challenge to heat consistently, especially if you don’t have a purpose-built heating system.

Lack of insulation

Why?

Many sports halls are not constructed with heat retention in mind, meaning you’ll need to contend with high levels of heat loss if you want to keep a consistent temperature.

Running Costs

Why?

Running a sports hall or leisure centre often means managing a tight budget – and the ever-rising costs of energy mean heating your space can be a financial challenge.

Varied Temp Needs

Why?

Participants may quickly warm up once their sports activities get underway, while spectators may require more constant heat in viewing areas.

Testimonials

Sian ThorleyHead Coach | Infinity Cheer & Dance
Really impressed with the team at OKEL - we needed heating for an industrial space for our children’s sports club and from enquiring, the entire process only took about 4 weeks. Mark talked us through everything to ensure we did what worked best for us, Katie’s communication was exceptional throughout, and Paul kept us updated with everything as he installed the unit itself, constantly checking in with us and kept everything very clean & tidy too! Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend.

A special thanks to Katie, who is a credit to the company - we look forward to working with you again.

FAQ

Most frequent questions and answers about Factory Heating Systems

Every heating solution we propose is unique to the sports hall in question. This makes it impossible to give a generic answer to this question.
Whether you’re hiring us to handle a school hall, a recreation centre, or an indoor sports venue, we know you need a solution that offers a good return on investment.
Our heating engineers will provide you with fully costed estimates during the design phase, together with a formal quotation for our services. This is provided free of charge, with no obligation to accept.

Most sports hall customers come to us for two reasons: their current solution is no longer generating the comfortable warmth they expect from it (particularly at floor level), or their heating bills are going through the roof, and they are finding ways to save energy extremely difficult.
Both are symptomatic of the same problem – that your heating system has seen better days and that you would benefit from it being replaced.

Any sports hall heating system must be installed by an experienced and knowledgeable commercial heating engineer with the relevant training, insurance, and qualifications for the fuel type they are working with, such as natural gas, LPG or electric. Not only will they provide you with a quality installation but also ensure it is fitted safely and to current regulations such as GasSafe and NICEIC.

Installation timescales depend on how large and complex your new heating system is, as well as how easy it will be for our team to access the site.
During the pre-installation planning phase, our heating engineers will put together a timetable that causes as little disruption to the running of your sports hall as possible.
In school halls and other venues that are only put to intermittent use, we can usually complete your installation quickly and with little interruption. If the building is used more frequently, the job could take longer as we work around your staff and visitors.

At OKEL, we have extensive experience delivering top-quality sports hall heating systems. We’ve worked with many kinds of sports halls, including gymnastics clubs and squash courts, and we strive to deliver the same high standards of design and workmanship on every job.
Whether your sports hall is in a school, a local recreation centre, or its own indoor venue for sporting activities, we have the tools, equipment, and experience to deliver a first-class heating system. Every solution is hand-tailored to meet your specific needs, you can depend on us to deliver exceptional results for you, your staff, and your members.
