Infrared Heating Systems Belfast & Northern Ireland
BSH Limited specifies infrared and radiant heating systems for commercial and industrial large-space heating, complementing its oil- and gas-fired warm air heating capability.
Infrared Heating Systems Belfast reflects BSH Limited's large-space heating capability for commercial and industrial buildings. BSH has strong expertise in the design, manufacture and management of gas heating systems, and specifies radiant and warm air approaches according to the building's layout and use.
Infrared (radiant) heating warms people and surfaces directly rather than heating the air, which suits tall or highly ventilated spaces where warming the whole air volume would be inefficient. BSH's large-space heating experience, built over more than 50 years and three generations of the Hood family, covers both radiant and warm air equipment and the judgement of when each is appropriate.
Through Powrmatic HVAC — Powrmatic having been the leading force in large-space commercial heating since the early 1970s — BSH specifies radiant heating equipment alongside oil- and gas-fired warm air heaters, selecting the technology to match the space rather than fitting one solution to every building.
Radiant heating for large or ventilated spaces
Infrared radiant heaters emit heat that warms people, objects and surfaces directly rather than warming the surrounding air. In tall buildings, draughty environments or spaces with doors that open frequently, this avoids the energy cost of heating a large air volume that is then lost, making radiant heating a practical alternative to warm air where the building suits it.
Choosing radiant against warm air
BSH specifies both radiant and warm air heating. Warm air heaters suit enclosed volumes where the warmed air can be retained; radiant heating suits tall or well-ventilated spaces where warming the air would be inefficient. The right choice depends on the building's volume, fabric, use and ventilation, which is assessed as part of the design.
Powrmatic large-space heating equipment
Through Powrmatic HVAC, BSH specifies radiant heating equipment from a manufacturer that has been the leading force in large-space commercial heating since the early 1970s. BSH's directors have been at the forefront of bringing those technologies to Northern Ireland, so the equipment is specified with practical understanding of how it performs in local buildings.

Problem · Reaction · Solution
How BSH can help
Problem
In tall industrial buildings, loading bays and warehouses with frequent door openings, heating the entire air volume is inefficient — the warm air rises or is lost through ventilation before it can condition the occupied zone. A conventional warm air system sized for those conditions can run for long periods with little effect on comfort at floor level.
Reaction
Heating the air in unsuitable spaces raises running cost and still leaves the occupied zone underheated, which affects staff comfort and the usability of the space. Building owners and facilities managers need a heating partner who can judge whether radiant heating, warm air or a combination is right for the building rather than specifying one approach regardless of the space.
Solution
BSH specifies infrared and radiant heating systems for commercial and industrial large-space heating, selecting the technology against the building's volume, fabric and ventilation and complementing its oil- and gas-fired warm air heating capability. Because the right system depends on the space, the next step is to discuss your requirements with BSH's engineers. Contact BSH to discuss your infrared heating project.
