Infrared Heaters for Churches & Halls
Proven heating solutions for churches & halls
Churches and public halls have unique heating requirements. Older buildings in particular are expensive to heat and legacy heating systems are often costly to maintain. Our space heating range offers solutions which are relatively inexpensive to install, economical to run, have a long lifetime and are maintenance free.
Sustainable Heating
Herschel Infrared heating provides churches with the ability to install an energy-efficient, effective heating system that can be tailored to the specific needs of any particular space. Given that 72% of the energy consumed by any church is typically used in heating the building, choosing the correct heating solution is vital.
With both zero light and warm glow, low glare heaters available, Herschel’s electric infrared solutions can be powered by a renewable energy tariff to ensure carbon footprints are minimised.
Energy Efficient Heating for Churches
Our infrared heaters directly heat people and the thermal mass of the building, meaning no energy is wasted heating large volumes of air. Instead, the infrared heat radiates over the required area and is absorbed by people and objects within the zone. By heating in this way it is possible to provide the heat when needed and where it is needed. For example, it is possible to heat the congregation throughout the service but not waste energy heating the church when is it not in use.
The same principle applies to town halls which can be heated only when in use with rapid warm up times. Infrared is also good for preserving buildings because it warms the building itself helping to reduce damp levels.
The Revolutionary Halo
Stunning chandelier-style infrared heaters, with zero light heat emission, for heating heritage buildings and churches
With powerful, zero light, far infrared heat emitters the UK manufactured Halo offers historic buildings and places of worship a highly controllable, effective and decorative heating solution that is acceptable to conservation bodies and avoids high installation costs. With low power LED lighting an additional option, the Halo ensures fast warm up times minimising energy consumption to provide 100% CO2 free heating when combined with renewables.
Initial trials of Halo heaters in a UK Church over winter 2022/23 are showing an 80% reduction in energy used and 63% reduction in the heating bill compared to running the gas heating system. Per Service this equates to a cost of around £17-20 because the heaters only need to be on for the duration of the service. In comparison the gas system would have to run on full for many hours in advance of the service to heat the church and at current prices would be costing up to £100 per service on cold days.

Customer Testimonials
“The best thing for our church”
“The best thing for our church. The old infrared heaters we had were terrible, no more glaring light, no buzzing noise and no more complaining from our elderly congregation of being cold. Really quick heat up times and have saved us a fortune against our old running costs as well as reducing the power we used by 40%. We are now looking at the rest of the areas in our church, after having trialled Herschel in the main rectory. Adam and his team at Herschel have done a brilliant job and should be very proud”.

Proudly Made in Britain
The Herschel Heritage range of heaters are proudly made in Britain at our UK Production Facility in Bristol. Each heater is custom-built to meet the specific heating needs of the church, providing a truly bespoke heating solution that fits seamlessly in any heritage or historical setting.
By combining state-of-the-art machinery with skilled handcrafting, we manufacture heaters that are not only sustainable and efficient but are also reliable and built to last a lifetime.
Which Solution - Zero Light or Warm Glow?
All Herschel heaters use the latest technology to provide efficient and comfortable warmth from either zero light heaters or a low glare, non-intrusive solution (unlike the older style quartz heaters that were previously available elsewhere on the market). What is right depends on any limitations or restrictions within the Church building and how the heaters are intended to be run. Considerations include:
- The intensity of heat required;
- Speed of warm-up required;
- Age of church and insulation;
- Mounting heights for the heaters;
- Control and operation of the heaters.
The Herschel team or your Herschel installer can provide advice and a tailored specification. A combination of both ranges may be the best option. Both ranges are excellent for preserving old buildings and protecting interiors.
Why Do Churches Choose Infrared for Their Church Heating Solution?
Heating a church efficiently can be challenging, especially in large or historic buildings. Infrared heating offers a modern, cost-effective solution that keeps congregations warm while reducing energy use and supporting sustainability goals. Explore the key benefits below to see why so many churches are making the switch.
-
- Infrared (radiant) systems directly heat objects and people in a space as opposed to heating the air and circulating it, thereby saving energy;
- Reduced carbon footprint – with the correct energy supply (any form of renewable energy or green tariff ) infrared heating can be run on a zero-carbon basis;
- Enables a much more consistent, comfortable temperature for the congregation;
- Quick, simple installation – infrared heating simply needs an electricity supply and can be wall or ceiling mounted in the correct place (portable solutions also available);
- No requirement for maintenance checks;
- Highly controllable – simple operation to ensure the right people and spaces are heated at the right times with no wasted energy;
- Solid-state, no moving parts – long life solutions;
- No noise;
- Choose between zero light and warm glow heaters;
- Infrared warms the building fabric itself helping to preserve buildings and reduce damp levels.
