HOME 5 LATEST NEWS 5 How an 800-year-old church solved a heating crisis with an infrared system
St Michael’s Church in the UK needed a fast, sustainable replacement after its oil-fired boiler failed, and, under the Church of England’s 2030 net-zero goals, a new fossil-fuel system wasn’t an option.
The church chose Herschel Halo, working closely with Herschel’s heritage team to gain swift approvals and prompt installation. Four Halo chandeliers were installed to provide full coverage across the nave and side aisle, delivering fast, comfortable warmth without heating large volumes of air.
After their first full winter, the feedback is overwhelmingly positive:
• Quick warm-up – around 20 minutes before services
• Even heat distribution with no cold spots
• Simple, intuitive controls
• A design that blends beautifully into the historic interior
“Our experience has been absolutely top-rate… it does what it says on the tin.” – Chris Greef, Churchwarden
St Michael’s now benefits from reliable, efficient and sustainable heating.
