Maintaining a safe, comfortable warehouse temperature is crucial but challenging.
Common Warehouse Heating issues include:
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.
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.

Most warehouses are made up of large open-plan space with average heights often exceeding 10 metres. That makes heating a warehouse effectively and efficiently a challenging task.
The two types of warehouse heating that are most popular with our customers are warm air and radiant heating, each of which comes with its own individual merits.
To help you decide which is the most suitable type of heating for your own warehouse premises, a member of our team will visit your site to carry out a detailed site survey and to understand more about your individual needs. We can then determine which option would be best suited to you.
Any company that utilises warehouses or other storage facilities may require a suitable warehouse heating system to protect the quality and preservation of stock and to ensure a comfortable working environment for warehouse operatives.
Some large organisations, as part of their commitment to become carbon neutral, are wanting to phase out gas from their sites, including existing gas-fired heating systems, opting to replace them with a greener and more environmentally friendly alternative fuel source such as electricity.
Whether it’s feasible for you to swap from gas to electric fuel will be dependent on you having sufficient spare 3 phase electricity capacity to fuel your site. It is also likely that running costs will increase should you move to electric, as the cost of commercial electricity per kw/h exceeds that of commercial gas.
OKEL can support you with either gas or electric warehouse heating options and we can also provide you with comparative running costs between the two fuel types to help with your decision-making.

1. Initial site survey. Your dedicated project manager assesses your warehouse, your existing heating system, and your specific needs.
2. Solutions and quotations. Our design team crafts a customised heating solution and presents options with clear cost estimates, including financing if desired.
3. Running costs. We provide estimated operating costs for your new system, factoring in usage and energy prices for informed budgeting.
4. Pre-installation planning. Detailed risk assessments and plans ensure a safe installation process for our engineers and your warehouse staff.
5. Warehouse heating system installation. We install your system with minimal disruption to your operations, working with you to schedule all work for your convenience.
6. Handing over. We thoroughly train your team on your new heating system’s operation and provide all necessary documentation and certifications.
7. Aftercare. We offer full warranty protection and our comprehensive aftercare package, including maintenance and priority repairs.
From the initial consultation to ongoing support, OKEL is your partner in creating an efficient, comfortable warehouse environment. We ensure a smooth experience and a heating solution tailored to your precise needs.
A warehouse heating system is a complex installation and subject to your chosen fuel source, will require either commercial gas or electrical approved engineers to carry out the works to comply with safety regulations such as Gas Safe and NICEIC.
Our teams of engineers have years of experience installing warehouse heating systems and are all fully trained and accredited in their chosen field. Not only do they know how to make your new system operate at maximum efficiency, but they also have experience fitting these systems while working at height – a key part of the installation process.
Every warehouse heating solution we design, and install is tailored to our customers’ individual needs. Therefore, we are only able to provide you with a formal quotation after having attended the site in person or having received detailed information remotely relating to your individual project.
Much like estimating the installation cost, it is not possible to confirm the length of time it takes to install a warehouse heating system, without knowing exactly what kind of heating system you require. For example, a one heater installation could take 1-2 days to complete the installation whilst a large-scale heating project with multiple heaters and destratification systems can take weeks, all depending on the project specifics.
