Heating a church isn’t just about comfort, it’s about stewardship, community, and protecting historic buildings for future generations. With rising energy costs and a growing focus on sustainability, more churches are turning to electric heating as a reliable, efficient, and future-proof solution. Here’s what you need to know about church electric heating, and why NEOS electric radiators are trusted by churches and village halls across the UK.
Churches are unique buildings:
Large, open spaces with high ceilings and stone walls that lose heat quickly
Intermittent use, with varying numbers of people throughout the week
Historic and listed status, restricting disruptive works and protecting heritage features
Budget constraints and the need for low running and maintenance costs
Traditional systems (like gas or oil boilers) often fall short, slow to warm up, expensive to run, and difficult or impossible to retrofit in protected buildings.
Zoned Heating: Only heat the areas you need, when you need them (nave, side chapels, vestry, community rooms).
Instant Warmth: Electric radiators reach comfort temperatures quickly, ideal for short services or events.
Minimal Disruption: No need for pipework or flues, installation is fast, clean, and heritage-friendly.
Low Maintenance: No annual servicing, no risk of leaks or carbon monoxide.
Smart Controls: Timers, thermostats, and app-based management put you in control, even remotely.
The NEOS electric radiator is engineered for demanding environments like churches:
Patented Soapstone Core: Stores heat and releases it gradually, ensuring warmth lingers long after the service ends.
Silent and Discreet: No noisy fans or intrusive units, just gentle, even heat that blends into the background.
Flexible, Modular Design: Fit NEOS radiators exactly where warmth is needed, from pews to parish halls.
App-Based Controls: Volunteers and caretakers can pre-heat the building or adjust settings without being on site.
25-Year Guarantee: Built in Britain, NEOS offers long-term reliability and peace of mind.
“I really think Churches should work at using this system if they’re installing heat for the first time or looking at changing their heating. It isn’t a very high upfront cost and they’re designed to be energy efficient.” - Beverley Hancock, Thistleton Church
