  • It was costing us around £70 to £100 per weekend in gas. Three hours of electrical heating (now) cost us only around £30 … I would strongly recommend looking at infrared, particularly if you are in a listed building or have high energy bills. The process of working with ARC, from the initial design through to installation, was straightforward and well-supported at every stage

  • Can I just express our gratitude to the two installers who worked hard and cheerfully and left the hall clean and tidy.

  • People can now remove their coats in the winter, which they were never able to do under the old system … We have seen at least a 30% reduction in our bills since we moved over to the new system.

Get a clear, DAC-ready heating plan - tailored to your building, your congregation, and your budget.

Is this your church?

Heating bills are high, but the building still feels cold
Your system is ageing or unreliable, or due for replacement
You need to justify a project to the DAC or a funding body
You've had conflicting advice and don't know who to trust

You've probably been meaning to fix this for years - but something always stalls. You don't need to have all the answers. You just need the right starting point.

EEZ Medium Wave Infrared Heaters Suspended From Ceiling.

Most Churches don’t need more heat. They need the right heat, in the right places.

Traditional heating warms the air - which rises straight into your ceiling. ARCAngel warms people and surfaces directly, so your congregation feels comfortable within 15–20 minutes of arrival, not hours.

What that means for your church:


Running costs reduced by 20–40%

Minimal visual impact on listed and heritage buildings

DAC and funding documentation

Typical installation completed in days, with no disruption to services

Heating doesn’t have to come from above

In many churches, the most effective place for heat is right where people sit. Alongside overhead infrared, ARCAngel includes three seat-level and floor-level options. Each one warms people directly, so you aren’t paying to heat the full height of the building.

All three can be combined with overhead infrared and zoned controls, so you only heat the areas in use, when they’re in use. We’ll design the right mix around your building and how it’s used, and we’ll help you prepare the documentation for your DAC.

SOLACE under-pew infrared heaters

SOLACE heaters fit beneath the pews and direct gentle long-wave infrared warmth towards the people sitting in front of them. They give off no visible light, run at a low surface temperature and are especially well suited to churches used intermittently through the week. More than 500 churches across Europe already use them.

SERENITY heated pew pads

SERENITY pads are made to measure for each pew, including around pillars and other architectural features. They provide warmth directly at seat level, and they sit on the pew rather than being fixed to it.

FOUNDATION floor heating mats

FOUNDATION mats are made to order and laid directly onto wood, stone or carpeted floors. They warm the altar, choir stalls, organ spaces and confessionals without moving air or disturbing dust.

The difference isn't more heat - it's where and how it's delivered

Why church heating projects stall - and how we fix it

We've delivered heating solutions for churches across the UK. We understand diocesan expectations, heritage constraints, and what funding bodies need to see.

Projects rarely fail because of the technology.

They stall because of:


Uncertainty about DAC and heritage approval

Difficulty building a funding case

Fear of making an expensive, irreversible mistake

Ready to find the right heating solution for your church?

We'll review your church, understand how it's used, and recommend a heating system designed around your space - then put it in writing, free of charge.
