Plan your heating maintenance now and start the winter safely
July 26, 2023
Nobody thinks about the hall heating when the sun is blazing, the asphalt is glowing and everyone is grateful for the slightest cooling. Or do they? Because anyone who looks ahead knows that summertime is maintenance time. So if you want to start the winter safely with your production halls or warehouses, it's good to be prepared. After all, the next heating period is often around the corner sooner than you think, which raises the question: is your hall heating system fit for the next season?
Why it is important to plan heating maintenance right now
Admittedly, as soon as it gets warm outside, nobody thinks about indoor heating. Yet the spring and summer months are the best time for heating maintenance. So if not now, then when? With enough time in advance and in peace and quiet, the hall heating systems can be checked, cleaned and possibly repaired. Or they can even be upgraded to the latest energy-saving technology. That way, you won't be in for a nasty surprise when the cold comes overnight. And finally, it simply feels good to be safely prepared. Because: the next winter is sure to come.
How heating maintenance ensures the operational safety and reliability of the hall heating system
Annual maintenance of your hall heating system ensures that your system works reliably and trouble-free. Small problems can be detected and rectified at an early stage before they lead to major breakdowns. A well-maintained hall heating system enables you to run your business smoothly and ensures optimum productivity during the cold season. Think about heating maintenance now, before the next heating period catches you cold.
Heating maintenance keeps energy efficiency high and costs low
Did you know that 1 °C temperature deviation already leads to 6 % more energy consumption? An optimally adjusted and cleaned heating system works more efficiently and consumes less energy. Heating maintenance can remove dirt and deposits. A study shows that heavy soiling of the reflectors can reduce the usable infrared component of energy-saving hall heaters by up to 10 %. For this reason alone, regular heating maintenance is strongly recommended. Failure to do so will result in rising heating costs, as less heat will reach where it is needed. In addition, oversizing of the infrared appliances would be required to compensate for this. This in turn leads to a further increase in heating costs.

Heating maintenance protects the investment and prolongs the life of the hall heating system
Regular heating maintenance increases the service life of the hall heating system. Wearing parts can be replaced in good time before they cause major damage. A well-maintained hall heating system lasts longer and thus minimizes the need for expensive repairs or replacement of the entire system. If you have a maintenance contract, maintenance of the hall heating is usually due every year as standard. Make sure you remember to keep this appointment so that you can benefit from a warranty and safeguard your insurance cover. Because your heating maintenance should not wait.

And finally: heating maintenance is a must (even if it doesn't have to be)
As a manufacturer of energy-saving gas-powered hall heating systems, we must draw your attention to the obligation to carry out annual heating maintenance. After all, this is what makes a long and trouble-free service life possible in the first place. But it is also important to remember your insurance cover. Various regulations and legal guidelines apply to infrared-based hall heating systems. For example, the following:
- Gas Appliances Directive (directives on general product safety and gas appliances)
- DIN EN 416-1, 416-2 and EN 777
- TRGI (Technical Rules for Gas Installations)
- DVGW regulations G 638-1 and G 638-2
- VOB/B (German Construction Contract Procedures)
- KÜO (Ordinance on the Sweeping and Inspection of Installations)
- Commissioning and maintenance instructions
- Firing Ordinance (FeuVo)
- Ordinance on the Implementation of the Federal Immission Control Act (BImSchV)
Increase efficiency or modernize? What you can do when heating maintenance is no longer enough
Is your heating system getting on in years? Is it consuming too much energy? Are breakdowns and repair costs increasing? In addition to heating maintenance, you also have the option of upgrading or retrofitting your energy-efficient hall heating systems. A modernized heating system can significantly reduce your energy costs, improve comfort in your hall and meet new legal requirements. What options are open to you? Here are a few tips.
Benefit from digital control technology
Modern hall heating systems are equipped with fully digitalized control technology that enables the heating output to be controlled according to demand and optimizes the entire heating operation. In many cases, they can be easily retrofitted. The intelligent systems ensure fast switch-on and switch-off, uniform heating comfort and minimized energy consumption. To quote KÜBLER: The most economical heating system is the one you don't need! Therefore, make sure that the heating only generates the desired temperature in the hall areas when work is actually being carried out there.
Multi-energy hall heating systems bring an affordable heat transition to your hall
The hall heating specialist KÜBLER has recently started offering energy-open hall heating systems that enable the use of renewable energies. Do you already know the FUTURA multi-energy infrared system? You decide for yourself which energy source is currently the cheapest for you. Be it electricity, hydrogen or (biogenic) gases. This flexibility opens up new dimensions in hall heating. FUTURA offers the icing on the cake with its integrated LED lighting. This multi-award-winning world first not only brings light into your hall, but also makes a further relevant contribution to sustainability that pays off in many ways. Because the 2-in-1 innovation stands for just one cabling, just one control system, just one service point.
Don't forget: Take advantage of the funding opportunities
There are often state subsidy programs for converting to energy-efficient hall heating systems. The Energy management system EMMA for example, is BAFA-listed. Find out about the current funding opportunities to receive financial support for your investment. KÜBLER has also held a number of seminars on the subject of "New subsidies for hall heating systems". Sign up for the newsletter to make sure you don't miss any events.

How is energy used correctly? What does efficiency mean? In the German government's current energy policy, there is a huge gap between aspiration and reality. After all, industrial buildings are not treated as industrial buildings because they only account for two percent of buildings - even though they are responsible for 15 percent of greenhouse gas emissions. The latter has not played a role to date. Behind this two percent are 420,000 to 480,000 hall buildings that are used in industry, commerce and municipalities as production halls, logistics halls, workshops, sports halls or sales outlets. A small number that is responsible for a significant proportion of energy consumption and GHG emissions in Germany. -
"No energy transition without energy efficiency" is the title of dena's "Topics and projects" section on its homepage "The best kilowatt hour is the one saved," says Thomas Kübler, Managing Partner of KÜBLER GmbH. Both mean the same thing: It's about curbing energy consumption in general and especially in companies. Because this is an enormous lever for achieving climate targets. And that's not all: energy efficiency also pays off economically if it is approached in the right technological way. Modern infrared heating technology plays an important role here, especially when it is intelligently combined with Bennwert technology. -
Almost all machines produce waste heat. Compressed air systems or curing ovens are at the forefront here, with enormous heat emissions. However, this usually dissipates unregulated in the building, which is annoying. On the one hand for the environment, but above all for business management. This is because a lot of energy is wasted in this way, which has to be paid for expensively elsewhere.

New gas heating quickly in 2023 - often the cheapest decision that also pays off for the environmentThe BMWK is currently causing a stir with a draft bill. This is because it involves a categorical ban on gas heating systems. According to the plan, from 2024, only heating systems powered by 65 % renewable energies may be used. Formally, this can only be heat pumps, district heating or biomass heating. This raises the question: what about the openness of technology in Germany? And who should pay for it? Decentralized gas-powered heating systems are often the only economically and functionally viable solutions, especially in hall buildings.
