One of the most overlooked elements of your office setup is the air conditioning. Whether the office is too hot or too cold, we can provide the tools to improve the comfort of your working environment. In this guide, we will explore the essential needs of your workspace and what you need to consider when looking to purchase electric fans, heaters, air purifiers, air conditioners or dehumidifiers.  

Things to consider

Choosing the right cooling and heating solutions for your office involves several key considerations to ensure a comfortable and productive environment. Here’s what to think about:

• Office Space Size:

  The size of your office is a critical factor. Larger spaces might require more powerful cooling and heating solutions, such as air conditioners or large fans, while smaller offices can often get by with portable heaters or smaller air purifiers.

• Number of Employees:

  The number of people in your office impacts the effectiveness of your cooling and heating solutions. A big team will generate more heat, which may mean you’ll require a more robust cooling system. Conversely, fewer people could mean opting for smaller, less powerful units.

• Health and Safety:

  Ensuring the health and safety of your employees is paramount. This includes maintaining good air quality with air purifiers, reducing humidity levels with dehumidifiers to prevent mold, and ensuring heating devices have safety features like automatic shut-off to prevent accidents.

• Energy Efficiency:

  Energy costs can add up, so consider the energy efficiency of your cooling and heating devices. Look for units with high energy ratings to save on operational costs.

• Noise Levels:

  In an office environment, noise can be distracting. Choose quieter models, especially for devices like fans, air conditioners, and purifiers.

By considering these factors, you can select the best cooling and heating solutions that meet your office’s specific needs, ensuring a comfortable and safe working environment for your employees.

Electric Fans

Electric Fans are a cost-effective way to cool down your workspace. They come in various sizes and types, from desk fans to large industrial models. For a quick and straightforward cooling solution, consider an office tower fan. They’re portable, easy to use, and perfect for providing a steady breeze in your office, workspace or retail outlet. If you are looking for something a bit more industrial and heavy duty, then perhaps a floor fan is for you.  

Another way to cool your space could be by the humble desk fan; these compact, multi-speed control powerhouses are the perfect desk companion, able to cool a room rapidly with their automatic oscillation. If one’s not powerful enough for the room or you don’t have the desk space for a desk fan, then consider a pedestal fan. You can throw these 3-speed, adjustable fans into the corner of your workspace and reap the benefits.

Air Purifiers 

Air purifiers can improve the air quality in your workspace, which is especially beneficial if you have employees with allergies or if you want to maintain a healthier environment. The Air Purifier is a fantastic hygiene-efficient option as it captures fine particles like dust, pollen, and smoke, providing cleaner air for everyone. Additionally, while purifiers provide several benefits, they only function with filters that need to be periodically replaced. 

With a vast array of purifiers, you have a lot of choice, but the size of your workspace will be the determining factor of which air purifier you require. For example, the Leitz TruSens Z-7000 is ideal for a large, professional space of up to 190m2. If you need something a little more compact, the Leitz TruSens Z-200 with its 35m2 coverage is the better choice. If you are looking for something even smaller, perhaps for a home office or a meeting room, then a Fellowes AeraMax DX5 is perfect for small areas of 8m2.  

Dehumidifiers 

If your workspace tends to get damp, especially if your set-up is in a basement or dated building, a dehumidifier is effective in reducing moisture and preventing mould growth. The Compact Dehumidifier is ideal for small to medium-sized spaces and operates quietly, making it suitable for office environments. 

Air Conditioners 

For a more robust cooling solution, especially during the hot summer months, air conditioners are a must. Purple Panda has an impressive selection of portable models, catering to your every air con needs. If you are in the need of a heavy-duty variation, the Honeywell outdoor evaporative air cooler pulls cool air from the outdoors into your indoor workspace, immediately freshening the room. 

If you are looking for a more compact indoor AC for your working environment, consider an Evaporative air cooler. There’s also the 4-in-1 mobile air conditioner for an AC unit even more compact. Don’t forget, you can also use air quality monitors which not only test the air but provide trends on the air’s quality, helping you to avoid air quality issues before they start.   

Heaters

When the temperature drops, having reliable heaters placed around the office is essential. Our first option, portable heaters, are versatile and transportable, offering immediate warmth where you need it most. If you have a medium workspace or grouped desks, an Oil Filled radiator could be the perfect choice; especially with automatic shut off functioning and portability. If you are looking for a desk-side or under the desk solution, consider a CED 2000W Upright Fan Heater which is ideal for small workspaces and home offices.  

Looking for a more industrial solution? Our wall mounted air curtain fan heaters are suitable for store entrances or large office spaces. Furthermore, we have several outdoor heaters such as our parasol heaters or wall mounted outdoor heaters that’ll keep you cosy.
