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%.

Andrews Heat for Hire responds to hangar boiler failure

Posted Date 31/01/2020

An airport located in the South East was forced to find a temporary solution following the disastrous failure of their ageing boiler system. Temporary equipment was urgently required to keep workers warm and ensure the continuous running of daily operations until a permanent boiler replacement could be sourced.

The size and scale of the average hangar makes them notoriously difficult to heat in a cost-effective manner, as pointed out by the client. Essentially, they were looking for a short-term source of heating that could deliver large volumes of warm air economically while their boiler system was out of action. Large numbers of people work inside the hangar each day, ranging from mechanics, transport staff, strategists and cleaners. The working environment is therefore extremely important, with low temperatures a potential safety issue.

Low ambient temperatures were threatening to affect wet trade processes including plastering and floor laying. An Andrews engineer visited the client’s site a few hours after being contacted and after assessing the environment and conducting a thorough assessment, proposed a bespoke heater hire solution to ensure surfaces dried correctly.

How to kill the chill this winter: Office Tactics

Posted Date 28/10/2019

During the months of autumn and winter, the drastic change in weather can have an adverse effect on the mind and body, leaving our mood and ability to concentrate in a deficient state. Where our bodies feel the cold in terms of a temperature drop, cold and flu, hypothermia and frostbite, our state of mind also suffers resulting in confusion, tiredness, negative moods and a lack of focus. All of these have proven to be undesirable consequences of a cold indoor setting and can affect both our personal and professional lives.

With summer now over and autumn upon us, many will have already noticed the seasonal transition prompting temperatures to fall quite sharply. It will soon be time to reach for the thicker garments and hot drinks as people take precautions in their quest to overcome the cold weather coming our way.
