Heating tips for your holiday parties

Posted Date 08/12/2023

Planning an event during cold weather comes with the added challenge of keeping guests comfortable. Providing sufficient heating should be a top priority when hosting gatherings in temporary structures like marquees or tents. With over 50 years of expertise supplying heating for events of all sizes, here is some useful guidance on choosing and operating heaters to create warm environments.

When setting up a marquee or tent for wintertime celebrations, the size and layout will determine the best heating approach. Indirect oil-fired heaters can duct hot air inside while the unit itself is positioned safely outside a marquee. Electric heaters with adjustable settings can operate from a single plug and be sited discreetly within an indoor venue. Running heaters ahead of time lets temperatures reach comfortable levels as visitors arrive. For longer events, fuel supply management prevents any disruption. Where possible, aim ducts or vents towards entrances so warmth greets guests immediately. Testing equipment the day prior provides peace of mind, and our engineers will always ensure units are running as expected before departing customer premises.
