Our Heritage Heaters can be used to heat people effectively and comfortably regardless of the duration the warmth is required for.<\/p>\n

Feedback from an installation of Halo heaters at St Matthew\u2019s Church<\/a> is that the Halo provides very good levels of comfort which St Matthew\u2019s characterise as \u2018better than we ever had from the radiators\u2019 and they describe the actual effect to feeling like a \u2018bubble of heat\u2019 \u2013 to the point that they note it \u2018doesn\u2019t feel like it\u2019s actually coming from the heaters themselves’.<\/p>\n

Heritage Heaters, including Halo will work very well for churches that are in regular use. As an example, St Matthew\u2019s<\/a> is in regular, daily use and they run the Halo heating in exactly the same way as one would turn on the lighting. They have confirmed that Halo is switched on only as and when required, and when the use is occurring. Within 10 minutes they have their required comfort \u2013 with no need for background heating at other times. This is completely different to alternative systems which require low background convective heat to be kept on for long periods and this subsequently requires boosting to heat services and events. This is not required when using Halo and this is why Halo is such an efficient system for providing comfort.<\/p>\n

Halo heaters can be controlled individually or grouped into zones. The InfraSense\u00ae touchscreen central control is extremely easy to use with the option of one-touch manual power level selector (low, medium and high) or intelligent automatic mode to set and control a temperature.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
