Church and Village Hall Heating

Heating churches and village halls is no small feat. 

These spaces, often historic, listed, or simply large and draughty, bring unique challenges: high ceilings, intermittent use, and the need to protect precious architecture. Traditional heating systems can be costly, slow, and disruptive. That’s why more churches and community groups are turning to electric heating, and why the NEOS electric radiator is setting a new standard for comfort, efficiency, and stewardship.

The Challenge: Heating Large, Historic, and Multi-Use Spaces

Churches and village halls are rarely used all day, every day. Services, events, and community meetings often happen at set times, leaving long periods when heating isn’t needed. Old gas or oil systems can take hours to warm up, wasting energy and money. For listed or heritage buildings, installing new pipework or flues is often off-limits.

Why Electric Heating Makes Sense for Churches and Halls

• Zoned Warmth: Electric radiators let you heat only the areas in use, nave, vestry, meeting rooms, saving energy and costs.

• Instant Comfort: Modern electric heaters like the NEOS deliver warmth quickly, ideal for unpredictable British weather and last-minute gatherings.

• Low Impact Installation: No disruptive building work, no risk to historic stonework or stained glass.

• Low Maintenance: No annual servicing, no leaks, no risk of carbon monoxide, just reliable performance year after year.

• Smart Controls: Programmable thermostats, timers, and even app-based control let you pre-heat spaces so they’re ready when needed.

The NEOS Advantage: Designed for Demanding Spaces

The NEOS electric radiator stands out for churches and village halls because it was engineered for real-world performance:

• Patented Soapstone Core: Unlike basic electric heaters, NEOS uses a natural stone core to store heat and release it gradually. This means your space stays warm—even after the power switches off, reducing temperature swings and energy waste.

• Slimline, Modular Design: NEOS radiators blend into any space, even along stone walls or under windows. Their modularity means you can add units as needed, scaling up for large halls or focusing warmth in seating areas.

• Precise, Zoned Heating: With NEOS, you can heat just the chancel for a small weekday service, or the whole nave for a packed Sunday congregation, all with the touch of a button.

• App-Based & Remote Controls: Manage heating schedules from anywhere, ideal for volunteers or caretakers who aren’t always on site.

• Silent & Clean: No noisy fans, no dust circulation, and no combustion gases, just gentle, even warmth.
