Description
The Herschel Halo is our highly innovative, zero light specialist heater designed to provide churches and heritage buildings with a net zero heating solution – delivering cost-efficient radiant comfort whilst preserving and protecting historic interiors and artifacts. The Halo has been designed in direct response to high demand. Following extensive research and development the Halo is manufactured in the UK by Herschel, using British made steel along with aerospace-grade aluminum. Beautifully designed to complement the heritage aesthetic, Halo suspends from high ceilings to effectively warm hard to heat spaces. Emitting zero light heat using far infrared radiant technology, the Halo will directly, gently and safely warm people, objects and the building rather than warming volumes of air like alternative convection heaters. With the option to add dimmable LED lights and stunning decorative finishes, the Halo provides the ideal heating solution for places of worship, listed properties, theaters, hotel lobbies as well as large industrial spaces.
Initial trials of Halo heaters in a UK Church over this winter 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.
The Halo is available in 4.8kW, 7.8kW and 9.6kW and must be used in conjunction with Herschel’s APX controller. Herschel offers a range of bespoke APX control options from simple on/off operation to more sophisticated controls such as thermostat and App remote control, plus motion detection to ensure efficient operation according to your requirements. With Herschel’s long-lasting Kanthal ceramic elements and no moving parts, Halo is maintenance-free, has no hazardous components and is 98% recyclable. With fast heat-up times and maximum control flexibility, Halo can be used to gently heat occupants in defined bubbles within large spaces or to heat the entire building. Compared to heat pumps and convection based systems, savings of more than 50% of consumption can be made, enabling energy consumption to be reduced through a 100% CO2-free sustainable solution, when combined with renewable energy.
Our Heritage team offer a full specification service including 3D scans and visual representations, where appropriate, using the very latest technology. Take a look at this link to see a 3D scan of the Halo heaters installed at St Matthew’s Church in Bristol.
Your Herschel representative will make recommendations on mounting heights specific to your location and requirements, based on a detailed site survey. Areas heated are a guideline only and will be impacted by airflow and ambient temperatures. Dependent upon the property age/type, insulation levels and levels of airflow present, the number of heaters required and running times will vary. For larger domestic or commercial projects we recommend the Herschel Heritage team carry out a survey or detailed desktop assessment.
Please note this is a Special Order item that is made to order. Delivery charges will apply, subject to quote. Please contact Herschel to discuss your Halo specification, and controls, prior to ordering.
All Halo heaters are bespoke and therefore require onsite UL certification. Please contact our team for further information.
