Customer Brief

Warmco installed an energy efficient workshop heating system for Kimberley Caravans in September 2022. We were asked to design and fit a workshop heating system in this 4,000 sq. ft. caravan engineering space. We installed a Winterwarm, XR40+ and a Winterwarm XR20+, suspended, propane fired warm air heaters into the space.

Features of the Heating system

This was a brand-new portal framed building and because it was insulated to modern standards, it had lower heating requirements. The workshop heating system was designed to heat the area to 20 degrees when the temperature outside is minus three degrees. To do this we used two of our modern, energy efficient heaters from the Winterwarm XR+ range. These modulating heaters will automatically switch to low fire when the area gets up to the desired temperature which can offer large cost savings (compared to non-modulating heaters). For example, the XR40+ will modulate from 40kw down to 25, when the thermostat reads that the area has reached the set temperature. We sat the heaters on wall brackets and flued the gases through the outside walls to help free up floor space. These heaters were room sealed and fan assisted to take clean air from outside to burn. This is often needed if you have any particulates, such as dust or spray paint inside the building. Sitting these heaters on suspended wall brackets, freed up lots of useful floor space. This workshop heating installation was completed in two days during which our engineers worked hard to keep disruption our customer low.

Testimonials

The heater installed by Warmco is absolutely brilliant! It has surpassed our expectations… it is very efficient on gas consumption and overall working with Warmco will save us a lot of money in future. All in all we are over the moon with our heating system and would be very happy to recommend Warmco’s services to anyone.

Russ Moore – A S Plant, Mansfield October 2020

Warmco were very quick to respond to our request for a survey and to quote for our heating; much faster than the response time that I have generally come to expect form other companies. The engineers communicated well and worked round our site requirements, to create minimal disruption to ourselves and our customers. We are pleased with our heating, it is working well. Warmco have been available to assist with giving advice on our system. Overall, we were very impressed from the start to finish of our dealings with Warmco.

Mark Donoghue – Brownhills Leisure World – November 2020

Overall I'm happy with the service provided by Warmco. The site visit and quoting process was good. The install guys were good, on time, seemed to get on with the job and completed it on time with good communications. As for the heaters, as it hasn’t been too cold as yet, I can't comment fully on how effective they are.”

Darrell Freeman – Big Dude Clothing, Ellesmere Port October 2020

Warmco were knowledgeable when it came to recommending a heating system to us. They explained the system in a way that gave us confidence in the products and services they were offering. Most importantly, the price was right. The installation was great, the engineers came when we were told they would, worked round our warehouse operations, did a neat job of the installation and were clean and tidy. We are pleased to say that the heating does exactly what we need it to do.
