Infrared Heating for Churches

Preserving Tradition with Gentle, Energy-Efficient Heating for Churches

Infrared Heating for Churches

Heating churches and presents unique challenges, as these spaces are often large, drafty, and need to preserve their architectural integrity. At ARC Thermal Products, we specialise in providing advanced, discreet infrared heating solutions tailored for churches and heritage sites. Our infrared heating systems offer consistent warmth while protecting the historical and aesthetic value of these spaces, ensuring comfort without compromising on energy efficiency or design.

Quiet, Efficient Warmth for Sacred Spaces

Churches are often beautiful, complex, and energy-intensive to heat. High ceilings, draughty masonry, and irregular use make traditional systems costly and inefficient. Infrared heating offers an unobtrusive, cost-effective way to keep congregations comfortable while respecting architectural integrity.

Heating Challenges in Churches


Large open spaces and vaulted ceilings lose heat rapidly

Convection systems heat air that quickly rises

Events and services may be irregular or seasonal

Old wiring or building fabric can limit installation options

Why Infrared Heating is Ideal for Churches

Delivers warmth where it’s needed – people, not air

Heats up quickly – comfort within minutes, not hours

No noise, draughts or moving parts

Zoning Options - heat only the altar, nave or seating as needed

Can be discreetly ceiling-mounted or wall-fixed

Compatible with solar PV or battery systems

No ducts or radiators to interfere with interiors

Voices from Church Communities

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

How Infrared Heating Works

Instead of warming the air, infrared heats surfaces and people directly. This is far more efficient in tall, poorly insulated spaces where warm air simply escapes upwards. It also means faster comfort during short services or events.
