Heating that works around the way you trade
One of the biggest mistakes we see is the temptation to treat a hospitality venue as one large, heated space.
In reality, customer flow, trading patterns and daytime and weekly seasonality all influence how heating should be specified.
We'll help you identify zones and schedules that let different areas be heated around lunch service, evening trade, private bookings, and quieter periods.
Heat occupied areas rather than empty spaces
Manage different zonal areas independently
Reduce ongoing maintenance and overall energy bills
Preserve clean, design-led interiors
Extend the use of terraces and beer gardens

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, because infrared allows different areas to be zoned and scheduled around occupancy and trading hours — you don't waste heat. Running costs depend on the venue, heat loss, electricity tariff and how the system is controlled, so correct specification is essential.
In our experience, this is one of the reasons hospitality businesses consider infrared. Because it delivers radiant warmth directly to people and surfaces, comfort is less dependent on keeping warm air inside the building.
Yes. Dining areas, conservatories, function rooms and quieter spaces can be divided into separate zones, allowing them to be heated and controlled around the way each area is used.
Yes. Some venues begin with difficult-to-heat areas, individual rooms or spaces being refurbished, then expand the system as existing equipment reaches the end of its working life.
Traditional heating warms the air, which naturally rises. Infrared works differently by directing radiant warmth towards people and surfaces. When correctly sized and positioned, this makes ceiling mounting an effective way to heat occupied areas, including many high-ceiling spaces.
Infrared systems do not require pipework, which significantly reduces installation disruption. For qualifying projects, KIASA provides the technical guidance and layout drawings to your chosen electrical contractor and works with them closely.
