Making cold weather history: Emergency solution for the British Museum

Posted Date 30/11/2023

The British Museum in London hosts thousands of important events and functions each year in its expansive historic halls. In November, the museum faced a sudden heating crisis that threatened to disrupt a high-profile evening gala.

At 14:00 on the day of the event, the British Museum’s facility management team realised that the temperature in the event space had dropped well below a comfortable level. With limited time before the scheduled 17:30 start, they urgently needed a rapid heating solution to get the room back to an appropriate temperature.

Products of the Month – February

February is the month of LOVE.

Love is in the air, and sometimes, in the water too! Our monthly product segment has returned again in February, and perhaps fittingly, now features a pair of units.

We’re not entirely sure how they met, but what we do know is that they are the perfect foil to Romeo & Juliet, or just about any other clichéd Valentine’s duo.

They say opposites attract, so let us introduce you to the new IT couple:

DE190 and Piranha S21

The DE190 is a high-capacity electrical heater with three different power settings – 21kW, 42kW, and fan only. It is ideal for heating large industrial spaces of up to 1,200m³ in size. This fully portable fan heater comes complete with an optional remote thermostat and is an ideal heating source for virtually any setting that requires high-capacity fume-free warm air. These include manufacturing facilities, building sites, and tank drying applications.

Andrews Heat for Hire stops cast stone manufacturers from becoming stone cold!

As a sustainability conscious company, we’re pledging to strengthen our efforts to reduce our waste production in 2023. So it was rather fitting that one of our first projects in the new year involved assisting another organisation to fulfil the same commitment.

In some industries, low temperatures are not conducive to maximising output and this can, in itself, also lead to materials being wasted or damaged. Many of our clients manufacture products or store raw materials that need to be maintained at a certain temperature to preserve their condition and eliminate the risk of items being destroyed or discarded.
