Heating tips for your holiday parties

Planning a winter celebration or corporate Christmas event? Whether you’re hosting in a marquee, tent, or temporary venue, maintaining a comfortable temperature is essential for keeping guests happy.

With over 50 years of expertise in event heating, Andrews Heat for Hire provides professional solutions and guidance to help you create a welcoming atmosphere, no matter how cold it is outside.

Keep Your Guests Warm – Choose the Right Event Heating Equipment

When setting up a marquee or tent for wintertime celebrations, selecting the correct system depends on the space, layout, and available power supply.

• Indirect Fired Oil Heaters can duct hot air inside while the unit itself is positioned safely outside a marquee. They are ideal for large marquees and outdoor events. These powerful units are positioned outside the tent and duct warm, clean air inside, ensuring comfort and safety.
• Electric Heaters with adjustable settings can operate from a single plug and be sited discreetly within an indoor venue. Compact and silent, electric heaters are perfect for indoor venues or smaller enclosed areas. They offer instant, adjustable heat and easy installation.

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.

Safety First

Allow ample clearance between units and combustible items. Do not use open flame or direct-fired heating of any kind of enclosed event spaces due to ventilation requirements. Infrared or radiant heat lacks airflow circulation to heat entire areas. For large marquees, indirect-fired units with powerful fans offer the ideal heating solution. All Andrews models meet rigorous industry safety standards and undergo regular maintenance.

The convenience of portable heaters makes them suitable for both permanent venues and temporary structures. Our quick delivery guarantee means we can provide last-minute heating for just about any location.
