How a Lancashire Warehouse Slashed Energy Bills by 30% with Winrow’s Heating Upgrade

Winrow • April 15, 2025

From Draughty to Efficient – A Warehouse Heating Transformation


When a Lancashire-based logistics company saw their heating costs skyrocket by 50% in two years, they turned to Winrow Building Ltd for a solution. Their outdated radiant heating system was guzzling energy, leaving cold spots, and struggling to maintain temperatures in their 25,000 sq ft warehouse.


Within 6 weeks, we transformed their heating infrastructure, delivering:
✅ 
30% reduction in annual energy bills
✅ 
Even heat distribution across the facility
✅ 
Smart controls for better temperature management


The Challenge – An Inefficient, Costly Heating System


The warehouse’s old radiant heaters had multiple pain points:

  • Energy waste: 40% of heat was lost through poor insulation and outdated tech.
  • Cold zones: Workers in certain areas needed space heaters (a safety risk).
  • No smart controls: Temperatures couldn’t be adjusted remotely.


The Cost of Doing Nothing

Without intervention, the business faced:

  • £18,000/year in unnecessary energy costs
  • Complaints from staff about working conditions
  • Potential compliance issues (uneven heating affected stored goods)



The Winrow Solution – A High-Efficiency Overhaul


We installed:

8 x Winterwarm 60kW Gas-Fired Warm Air Heaters

  • 30% more efficient than old radiant systems
  • Destratification fans to eliminate cold spots
  • Low NOx emissions for sustainability


Honeywell T6 Smart Thermostats

  • Zone-based temperature control
  • Remote monitoring via smartphone



Why This System Works

✔ Faster heat-up times (critical in large spaces)
✔ 
Adaptable output (adjusts based on occupancy)
✔ 
Future-proof tech (compatible with renewable upgrades)



The Results – Warmer Workers, Lower Bills

Radiant Heater
By Winrow March 3, 2025
Radiant heat, a fundamental physics concept, is the transfer of energy through electromagnetic waves. Understanding radiant heat is key to designing efficient heating systems as it’s based on energy emission and absorption through infrared radiation. The electromagnetic spectrum, thermal radiation and blackbody radiation are the underlying principles of radiant heat . As researchers dig deeper into the science of radiant heat they uncover new applications in architecture, medicine and beyond, and pave the way for sustainable and efficient solutions that change our daily lives.
