After an initial phone conversation, our expert engineers can be dispatched to perform a free site survey and analyse your environment, process and any other factor that might dictate which equipment is best for you.

Once this has been completed, our engineers will present a solution that is both practical and cost-efficient, taking care to ensure we adhere to your budget and preferred length of hire. We’ll talk you through every aspect of your rental agreement, and that includes explaining exactly why a particular heater might be best for you.

Once this has been completed, our team of certified engineers will oversee the delivery and installation of your equipment. With depots located across the entire country, we guarantee to deliver at a time convenient to you – enabling your business operations to continue unaffected.

Installation and maintenance

Our engineers perform the installation of any equipment on hire and will demonstrate all features and benefits to clients to ensure they are comfortable with how everything works. All heaters within our hire fleet are capable of unattended operation, although our gas and oil models may require refuelling periodically depending on the extent of use.

Fuel requirements will have been taken into consideration prior to the installation of any heating arrangement, so you need not concern yourself with having to source additional fuel from a third party.

Completion

After installation has been completed, our engineers can revisit your site routinely to maintain the equipment when necessary and ensure everything is performing safely and effectively. Upon the conclusion of a hire, we will arrange the collection of units – including deinstallation.

FAQs

Should I use direct or indirect heaters?
Direct heaters are best for places that need large volumes of warm air that have permanent ventilation to the outside environment. Indirect are ideal for places where there’s limited ventilation, or where people are present, as they deliver huge volumes of clean heat. Read more.

For non-electric heaters, what is the fuel arrangement?
In addition to supplying the initial start-up fuel, whether it be LPG, gas or fuel oil, an operative will continue to monitor the fuel usage on your site and arrange refuelling deliveries as required. Read here for further information.

Of course. At Andrews Heat for Hire, we have small 2.8kW electric products right through to 383kW high capacity units, ensuring any requirement can be accommodated.
