Although it may still feel like summer, colder days are on the way. When temperatures across the UK suddenly drop, often well below freezing in late autumn, HVAC coils can be at risk.

As water inside a coil freezes, it expands by around 9%, creating pressure that can crack or split the tubes. The result? Costly leaks, system downtime and unexpected repair bills.

With over 50 years of expertise, SPC is a trusted British HVAC manufacturer, based in Leicester, known for delivering high-quality, energy-efficient products.

Perfect for low water temperature systems such as heat pumps, our solutions support decarbonisation, energy efficiency and long-term sustainability.

At SPC, we pride ourselves on delivering bespoke services and end-to-end project support, ensuring every installation meets your specific requirements.

The autumn half-term is the ideal time to check your school heating is ready for winter. Upgrading or maintaining your Fan Convectors while pupils and staff are away avoids lesson disruption and ensures a warm, safe environment on their return.

Unit heaters use fans to blow heated air across the space, ensuring warmth reaches the working areas, not just the ceiling. This reduces heat stratification and keeps employees comfortable.

Every warehouse is different. Unit heaters can be wall-mounted horizontally to direct heat across the space, or suspended vertically to blow warm air straight down. This flexibility makes them suitable for a variety of layouts.

Modern unit heaters are designed to work efficiently, even with low-temperature systems such as heat pumps. This makes them future-proof and aligned with businesses aiming to decarbonise and become more sustainable.

Compared to larger, more complex systems, unit heaters are straightforward to install and require minimal upkeep, helping to keep downtime and servicing costs low.

From installation through to day-to-day running, unit heaters remain one of the most cost-effective ways to heat warehouses, storage spaces, and garages.

Unlike traditional systems that heat the air, radiant heating works by warming the surfaces, objects, and people directly. The result is uniform, comfortable warmth with minimal energy waste, making it ideal for a wide range of environments, from schools and offices to healthcare spaces, warehouses, and industrial buildings.

At SPC, we manufacture our Thermatile TEN-TWELVE radiant panels here in the UK. These radiant panels offer a high-quality, energy-efficient heating solution with flexible installation options to suit your building design.

Radiant panels also align perfectly with modern low-temperature hot water (LTHW) systems, including heat pumps. As the industry moves towards decarbonisation and net-zero targets, it’s more important than ever to select heating technologies that support renewable energy integration.

Unlike traditional convection systems that rely on higher flow temperatures, radiant panels operate efficiently at lower temperatures, helping to reduce energy consumption and carbon emissions, future-proofing your building against tightening sustainability regulations.

• Quick heat-up times – Rapidly bring spaces up to temperature
• Uniform comfort – No cold spots or drafts
• Virtually maintenance-free – No moving parts or complex components
• Improved air quality – Minimal air movement reduces the spread of dust and allergens
• Low-temperature compatibility – Perfect for heat pumps and renewable heating systems
• Flexible installation – Available in ceiling grid, free-hanging, wall-mounted, or plasterboard options

Radiant panels are an excellent choice for decarbonisation projects and energy-efficient building designs. Whether you’re refurbishing an existing space or planning a new development, SPC can help you specify the right solution, with short lead times and UK manufacturing support.
