The Client

  • Client: Meet the lovely Janet and Candy from Paws 4 Break Dog Hotel
  • Location: Leominster, UK
  • Objective: Enhance the comfort and well-being of dogs by improving heating efficiency and reducing energy costs.
  • About: Paws 4 Breaks Dog Hotel is a homely boarding facility offering premium care for dogs while their owners are away. The hotel is situated in a rural area with unpredictable weather conditions, especially during winter. Janet and Candy sought a solution that would create a more consistent and comfortable environment while keeping energy consumption under control. Infrared (IR) heating was proposed as an effective alternative. They have a really unique set up within the space of the business and understand how important it is for a pups comfort while the rest of the family is away. Both together have come up with a solution to give pet parents a peace of mind to book with them so you don't worry about your fur baby while you are away. Each designated section is designed to give you your pup a homely feel so they feel right at home.

The Solution

Installing Infrared Heating Panels

Janet and Candy decided to install 350w smart infrared heating panels across the facility, including dog rooms, play areas, and relaxation spaces. Ceiling-mounted IR panels were strategically placed to provide targeted warmth where the dogs rest and play, ensuring every part of the hotel was evenly heated without any cold spots.

Key Benefits of the Infrared Heating Solution for Your Kennel

Consistent and Gentle Heat:

Unlike traditional heaters that only warm the air, the IR panels provided gentle warmth directly to surfaces, floors, and the dogs themselves. This created a stable, cosy environment similar to the natural warmth of the sun. The dogs could bask in comfort without the risk of overheating or breathing dry air.

Health Benefits for Dogs:

Many of the dogs have various health conditions like arthritis or are naturally thin skinned due to their breed. Infrared heating proved to be particularly beneficial for these dogs, as it promotes better blood circulation and reduces joint stiffness. The dogs remained active and comfortable, with noticeable improvements in their overall well-being.

Energy Efficiency and Cost Reduction:

Installing these heaters is extremly easy. As it is a business and each room is sectioned off, these heaters gave them the ability to zone each individual space so they use them as and when they need to as opposed to heating the entire space, reducing unnecessary energy consumption.

After installing infrared heating, Janet and Candy reported a significant improvement in the comfort levels of the dogs, particularly during cold mornings and evenings. Their furry guests stayed warm, relaxed, and healthier, leading to higher client satisfaction. After a long day of playing outside and socialising for hours, they come back to their beds which is located just under the infrared heater that have been ceiling mounted. In the long run, infrared heaters will keep the space healthy, without drying out the air and reduce humidity levels low for dogs who have sensitive or thin skin. In conclusion, Kiasa IR heating is proving to be a game changer for the business, providing a pet-friendly, energy-efficient, and low-maintenance solution. The dogs now enjoy a more comfortable, healthier environment, and the hotel has successfully reduced its operational costs while maintaining high standards of their 'home from home' care.
