What’s been happening in Europe this month?

Posted Date 10/01/2023

We knew last month had been a good one, but it has since come to light that it was our best December on record from a revenue perspective! Britain experienced snowfall, ice and bitter temperatures – and it’s fair to say our clients were cold. Although we didn’t have a choice in the weather, our loyal customers chose us to provide temporary heating units. We’ve always made it our target to provide a high level of service and deliver during sleet, snow, or shine, and that’s exactly what we did!

Snow is falling… It’s time to call Andrews Heat for Hire

Posted Date 12/12/2022

Snow, sleet, and cold conditions have swept across the Midlands, East of England, London, and the South East, triggering yellow weather warnings.

Met Office Chief Meteorologist, Steve Willington, said: “It is staying cold with daytime temperatures remaining only a few degrees above freezing in many places over the coming days and overnight temperatures dropping to -10°C or lower in isolated spots.”

Although we cannot change or control the weather, we can ease your worries by letting you know that we are still offering nationwide and same-day delivery despite the current weather conditions.

DH150 Refrigerant Dehumidifier

Our DH150 refrigerant dehumidifiers are economical, portable, and incredibly easy to use. The unit is a firm favourite among customers, with its popularity stemming from a high extraction rate and cost-effective functionality – traits that will always be looked upon favourably by those who hire dryers from us!

As a high-capacity dehumidifier, it is capable of drying large applications and requires only a 415V power supply in order to operate. Designed to dry out areas of up to 1,650m³ and control the humidity in areas up to 3,300m³, the DH150 will effectively combat condensation, dampness, mould growth, and just about any other issue associated with the excessive presence of moisture.

How can I prevent mould growth in my building?

Posted Date 30/11/2022

The dangers of mould have prominently featured in the news in recent days, and this is a topic that everyone should be more aware of. The thought of being a victim to chronic exposure to black mould should be a concerning one. As energy bills soar and the need to cut back takes hold, businesses could be at greater risk of dampness increasing.

Ineffective moisture control has worrying implications for all of us, including those who work for you, so it’s important to ensure that humidity levels are kept within a range of 40-60%. Failure to do so increases the likelihood of people developing respiratory illnesses, skin dryness and eye irritation, but can also have an impact on your building’s structure and its contents.

Andrews launches 36kW mobile electric boiler with built-in heat exchanger

Posted Date 22/11/2022

We are excited to announce the launch of our highly anticipated 36kW mobile electric boiler. Small but mighty in terms of its output, this product provides an astounding 36kW of heating despite its lightweight design.

This compact powerhouse provides a simple solution that fits through any standard door and is fully manoeuvrable with wheels. It features a built-in heat exchanger to give an even sleeker look.

Simple to install, the unit has a drastically reduced carbon footprint when compared with other boilers of comparable size.

What to do when the heating stops working?

Posted Date 10/11/2022

Have you been in a situation where your heat source has suddenly stopped working, or you’ve reached a certain stage of a project before realising that a heating requirement had just slipped your mind?

As construction managers and events planners know all too well, deadlines tend to be tight, and meeting them can be made even more challenging by a range of factors. Although the weather is getting colder, we still regularly receive enquiries from clients who have overlooked their need for heating. It happens a lot more than you think!

Indirect Fired Oil Heater – The Aurora FH 4000

Indirect fired oil heaters are refined, reliable, and ready-to-use heaters and quite rightly sit among the most popular units in our range. They are ideal for places where there is limited ventilation, or where people are present, as they deliver huge volumes of clean, dry, fume and noise-free heat safely and economically.

The Aurora FH 4000 is a high-capacity oil-fired heater delivering capacities of up to 383kW from a single unit. This fully portable heater is capable of 92% fuel efficiency when functioning at full capacity, which is what makes it so popular with clients. Each unit comes complete with an integrated thermostat, with the resultant fuel conservation allowing significant cost savings of up to 20%.

Italy

Our Italian branch, Nolo Climat, has been showing its passion for fashion by maintaining momentum from their work at the Milan fashion week in September. Our specialists in Italy proposed a heating solution for an exclusive footwear brand’s showroom, in one of the most exclusive locations in Milan. After a thorough inspection of the building, our FH185 DV models were identified as the optimal heating solution for the showroom and surrounding spaces. Four heaters will remain on site until December, along with diesel tanks that are equipped with a remote level management system that allows fuel levels to be viewed through a mobile app.

Andrews Heat for Hire provides heating solutions two years in a row

Posted Date 31/10/2022

A great sign of good business is repeat customers, and we pride ourselves on delivering an effective service that satisfies customers to the extent that they don’t wish to look anywhere else!

Last week, we received an enquiry from an installation board company that also contacted us at the same time last year seeking a high-capacity heating solution for their warehouses.

Clearly, our client values their employees just as much as we do, and they did everything in their power to ensure staff would not feel the nip in the air this autumn!
