HEATING LARGE SPACES WITH INFRARED: The Science Behind Faster Sports R

Overcoming Heating Challenges in a Vast Space

MOVE is a dynamic sports injury clinic that also offers Reformer Pilates and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu classes. The clinic is housed in a 4,000-square-foot empty building, which presented a significant challenge: how to efficiently and effectively heat such a large, open area. The team at MOVE knew that creating a comfortable environment was crucial for their clients, particularly those recovering from injuries or engaging in intensive activities.

The Challange

Large spaces are notoriously difficult to heat. MOVE’s management needed a solution that would:

Effectively heat the space without hot and cold zones.
Be cost-efficient, considering the absence of prior data on heating costs for a building of this size.
Have an aesthetic appeal, aligning with MOVE’s modern and welcoming environment.

Implementation: plan to reality:

Research Process

The team thoroughly researched various heating options, including:

Heat pumps: Effective but required significant initial investment and maintenance as well as an intrusive installation.
Wall-mounted air conditioning units: Provided heating but often resulted in uneven warmth and higher running costs, and increased heat loss.
Electric heaters: Traditional options were ruled out due to inefficiency and high energy consumption.

The Kiasa Infrared Heating Solution

After evaluating their options, MOVE discovered Kiasa Infrared Heaters. These heaters stood out for their combination of performance, aesthetics, and smart features. MOVE’s decision was based on several key factors:

Aesthetics and Design

Kiasa Infrared Heaters blend seamlessly into any environment, making them ideal for a clinic that values modern design and functionality. MOVE’s management appreciated how the heaters added to the clinic’s sleek and professional appearance.

Customer Experience

MOVE’s experience with Kiasa was excellent. Unlike larger companies that often overlooked smaller businesses, Kiasa provided personalized service. The team was readily available to answer questions, which is a significant advantage for any business exploring new technology.

Smart Features

The heaters come with smart controls, allowing the team to monitor and adjust the heating remotely. This feature proved invaluable, as they could switch the heaters off via an app if forgotten, preventing unnecessary energy usage and high bills.

Cost Efficiency

MOVE was pleasantly surprised by the affordability of Kiasa’s heaters, both in terms of purchase price and operational costs. Infrared heating is known for its efficiency, as it heats objects and people directly rather than the air, reducing wasted energy in large spaces.

The Results

The installation of Kiasa Infrared Heaters has transformed MOVE’s facility. Key outcomes include:

Comfortable Heating: Clients and members have expressed delight at the warmth provided by the heaters. The heat is described as natural and sun-like, avoiding the dryness often associated with conventional heating systems.
Positive Client Reactions: Members frequently inquire about the heaters, impressed by their discreet design and effectiveness.
Cost Savings: Infrared heating has proven to be a cost-friendly solution for a building of this size. MOVE is now considering installing similar heaters in a second planned location.
Environmental Impact: By reducing energy wastage, the clinic is contributing to a more sustainable future.

Conclusion

For businesses like MOVE that operate in large spaces, infrared heating is a game-changer. Kiasa Infrared Heaters provide a balance of efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and modern design, making them the ideal choice for sports clinics, yoga studios, and other wellness facilities.

MOVE’s success story highlights the importance of choosing the right heating solution, not just for functionality but also for enhancing the client experience. With the possibility of a second clinic on the horizon, MOVE plans to continue its partnership with Kiasa to maintain its high standards of comfort and efficiency.
