Arctic Hayes has developed a comprehensive range of portable heaters and radiators designed to provide effective temporary heating solutions. These products are particularly valuable in social housing and local authority (LA) buildings, where heating systems may be temporarily out of action due to maintenance or upgrades. As the colder months approach, Arctic Hayes is emphasising the importance of these heaters and radiators in ensuring the safety and comfort of vulnerable populations when other heating sources are unavailable.

Heating system upgrades and maintenance are inevitable, especially in social housing and LA buildings where aging infrastructure may require frequent updates. However, the process of repairing or upgrading these systems can leave residents without heat for extended periods, especially during the winter months. In such cases, portable heaters and radiators are not just a convenience—they are a necessity.

"Our range of heaters and radiators are designed to provide reliable, temporary heating solutions when permanent systems are offline. In social housing and LA buildings, where occupants may include the elderly, children, or those with health conditions, maintaining a safe and warm environment is crucial. Our products ensure that even during system outages, no one is left in the cold," Lee Parsons, CEO of Arctic Hayes.

Arctic Hayes offers a variety of heaters and radiators, each tailored to meet specific needs. These products are designed for ease of use, safety, and efficiency, making them ideal for temporary deployment in diverse settings.

Arctic Hayes’ range of portable electric heaters includes both fan heaters and convector heaters, which are ideal for quickly warming up individual rooms or small spaces. These heaters are lightweight, easy to move, and can be set up in minutes, providing immediate warmth where it's needed most.

Key Features:
• Multiple Heat Settings: Adjustable heat settings allow users to control the temperature according to their needs, ensuring comfort without wasting energy.

• Safety Features: Built-in safety mechanisms such as overheat protection and tip-over switches ensure that the heaters can be used safely in any environment, including homes with children or pets.

• Compact and Portable: The compact design makes these heaters easy to transport and store, enabling quick deployment in any situation.

For longer-lasting heat, Arctic Hayes’ oil-filled radiators are an excellent choice. These radiators provide steady, even heating and are particularly effective in maintaining warmth in larger spaces or over extended periods.

Key Features:
• Thermostatic Control: Precise thermostatic control allows for consistent temperatures, reducing the risk of overheating and ensuring a comfortable environment.

• Silent Operation: Unlike some fan heaters, oil-filled radiators operate silently, making them ideal for bedrooms, offices, or any environment where noise may be a concern.

• Durable Construction: Designed for repeated use, these radiators are built to last, with robust materials that can withstand the rigors of frequent deployment and storage.

Finding the right option:
Social housing and LA buildings often house some of the most vulnerable members of society, including the elderly, disabled individuals, and low-income families. When heating systems fail or are being upgraded, these residents are at significant risk of experiencing cold-related illnesses, such as hypothermia or respiratory conditions. Ensuring that they have access to reliable, temporary heating is therefore not just a matter of comfort but of health and safety.

Cold indoor temperatures can have severe health implications, particularly for the elderly and those with pre-existing health conditions. In the absence of permanent heating, Arctic Hayes’ portable heaters and radiators provide a lifeline, ensuring that residents remain warm and protected during heating system outages.

Heating system maintenance and upgrades are necessary but can be highly disruptive. Portable heaters and radiators from Arctic Hayes help to minimise this disruption by offering an immediate, effective alternative. Residents can continue to live comfortably in their homes without the stress and inconvenience of moving to temporary accommodation.

Local authorities and housing associations have a duty of care to their residents, including maintaining a safe and habitable living environment. By deploying Arctic Hayes’ heating products, these organisations can ensure they are complying with health and safety regulations, even during periods when the primary heating system is offline.
