Our Electric Warm Air System Installation Process
On-Site Consultation
One of our expert engineers will visit your site to perform a free survey and discuss your unique requirements to find the right electric warm air heating solution for you. They will be your point of contact throughout the installation process. At this stage, we will also take note of any existing HVAC systems already installed on the premises.
Solutions and Quotations
Based on our survey and your property’s needs, we’ll provide a custom design for an energy-efficient, cost-effective heating system. Your project manager will then review the proposal and forecast how much it is likely to cost to be installed.
Pre-Installation Planning
Before installation begins, we perform detailed risk assessments and schedule the installation to minimise disruption as much as possible. We take the safety of our engineers and clients very seriously, which is reflected in our planning process, especially when it comes to electrical systems.
Installation
Our team of fully accredited and highly experienced engineers deliver a safe, reliable and streamlined installation for your electric warm air system. The size of the building and complexity of the system will affect the time it takes to complete the installation.

Once the new electric warm air heating system is installed, we provide training on your new system and ensure everything is working to your satisfaction.
Ongoing Aftercare
We offer full warranty protection as well as an annual maintenance service to keep your heating system in top condition.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Can Electric Warm Air Systems be used in Large Spaces?
Yes, electric warm air heating systems are the perfect choice for larger spaces. Unlike radiant heating systems, which are better suited for heating localised areas, an electric warm-air heating system uses fans to diffuse hot air throughout your space, making it ideal for large, open-plan areas such as factories and warehouses. Coupled with a destratification solution, an electric warm air heating system provides efficient and effective heating of even the largest spaces.
- Are Electric Warm Air Heaters Expensive to Run?
When considering electric heating versus gas, we are upfront with all our customers that an electric heating solution is very likely to be more expensive to run simply down to the purchase price of fuel from your energy suppliers. To heat with electric or gas requires the same amount of kws and therefore the only difference to consider is the cost per kw/h that you are paying to your utility provider for your commercial gas versus commercial electricity.
For some customers, a gas-fuelled heating system simply isn’t an option due to a host of factors, including no gas supply available on site, some landlords refusing to allow tenants to introduce gas to protect the building’s EPC ratings, and stringent environmental targets set by the individual business or businesses that they trade with.
We install gas and electric-fuelled heating solutions, so whatever your preference, we have a solution to suit. However, your chosen fuel type is something that we ask you to carefully consider as a business, especially regarding future operational running costs, and whether the pros of electric heating outweigh the cons.
- Are Electric War Air Heating Systems Loud?
Thanks to innovations in sound insulation and improvements in fan technology, electric warm air heating systems can heat large spaces with minimal noise. Whether you need to minimise ambient noise in your warehouse space to ensure your staff can easily communicate or you’re looking to heat a retail space or sports hall without disturbing your customers, an electric warm air heating system is a great choice.
- Who Can Install an Electric Warm Air Heating System?
If you’re investing in an electric warm air heating system for your commercial space, you’ll want to ensure it’s not only installed properly and following all safety regulations, but also that it’s ideally suited to your needs.
In the first instance, that means you’ll need to look for an electrical contractor with the necessary experience and qualifications to work on 3-phase electrical heating installations and often working at height – a domestic professional simply won’t have the knowledge and skills you need to ensure the best possible installation, and neither be accredited or insured to work in a commercial/industrial setting.
It’s also important to work with a team that can provide a tailored service that will provide the best solution for your space. Rather than a one-size-fits-all approach, look for a team that provides a custom installation process based on an in-depth engagement with your needs. And that’s exactly what we offer here at OKEL.
- How Much Does an Electric Warm Air Heating System Cost?
The cost of an electric warm air heating system will depend on a wide range of factors, including the number and specifications of the heaters you require, the size of the space you’re looking to heat, and any additional requirements such as thermostatic controls and destratification solutions. At OKEL, we offer free quotations, so if you’d like to get a clear sense of the cost for your specific situation, get in touch today.
- How Long Does an Electric Warm Air Heating System Take to Install?
Installation times for an electric warm air heating system will vary based on the scale of the project and the layout of the space you’re looking to heat. It will also depend on whether you will need to continue operations during the installation process.
Here at OKEL, we try to ensure minimal disruption to your business while we install your heating system, but this can result in a longer installation time. And ultimately, it’s important to remember that an electric heating system is a long-term investment. While we know you’ll want your new heating system up and running as soon as possible, it’s vital that it meets your expectations.
- How Long Does an Electric Warm Air Heating System Last?
A well-designed and properly installed electric warm air heating system should provide significant long-term benefits to your business. At OKEL, we believe in building electric warm air systems that last. That’s why we use only top-quality components throughout, backed by extensive manufacturer warranties for your peace of mind.
