The Client
Binean Kadhim, the owner of a successful Blackburn hair salon, could not find a solution to the premise’s chilly areas and clients were complaining about the cold.
The Brief
Binean expanded her Heiress hair salon into new premises in the town centre 17 months ago, sharing with Gossip Beauty salon, but realised quickly that there were areas in the interior that were very hard to heat, particularly the six chairs along the two window walls.
Binean had tried other electric heaters but nothing worked.
The problem was that the hexagonal building where the salon occupied the ground floor had large areas of glass windows so conventional heating systems were inadequate.
The Solution
With expert advice from SaveMoneyCutCarbon, a delighted Binean solved the cold problem with workspace heaters from the Herschel Advantage range.
She purchased four Herschel Advantage IR3 1950W Black Far Infrared Workspace Heaters and had them fitted with two more ordered when she saw how effective they were.
Every client has said how warm and relaxing the heaters are.
The Far Infrared heaters work by gently heating objects and surfaces. This radiant heat is far more efficient and effective than traditional convection heaters that just warm the air, using up to 60% less energy.
Binean had made quick online search for the Far Infrared heaters which put her in contact with SaveMoneyCutCarbon, who gave her detailed advice on what would work best.
Binean had found out about the Herschel heaters from one of the stylists working in the salon. Far Infrared is highly effective and precise, heating only the areas that need it. Convection heating, in contrast, must heat the air in the whole area. The warm air rises and the dissipates through drafts and other movement.
The far infrared waves are absorbed by the building and through a build-up of “thermal mass”, a large area will stay warm even when the heaters are off.
Far Infrared heaters are cheaper to install than other systems, requiring only electric supply cable. They are silent, maintenance-free with a long working life and emit no fumes.
