Whether for a construction site, a workshop or a large event tent, Polypoles offers electric heaters for hire , making them the ideal solution for heating spaces quickly and efficiently. Electric heaters offer undeniable advantages in terms of power and flexibility.

The different types of electric heater rental

1. Industrial electric unit heaters

Electric unit heaters are robust, compact devices designed to operate in extreme conditions. Easy to use, they are available for rental or sale, and can be installed quickly. Powered by a single-phase or three-phase electrical outlet, depending on the wattage, they are also mobile, easy to move around, and can be wall-mounted for more permanent use. The power of electric unit heaters is adjustable: the colder it gets, the more power you need. Ventilation is also adjustable, and these units can even be used in summer for a simple ventilation function. Efficient and odorless, these heating systems are ideal for both small spaces (offices, stores, workshops, etc.) and large spaces (warehouses, hangars, gymnasiums, construction sites, etc.). All our electric unit heaters have a proven track record of durability and resistance.

2. Electric Infrared Heating

Electric infrared heating is an economical solution, because it heats people and objects directly, rather than an entire volume. It’s available for rental and sale. Heat is immediate on connection, and much of the electricity used is converted to heat, minimizing energy losses. Installation is simple and inexpensive, unlike gas or oil-fired heating systems, and it requires no annual maintenance, unlike boilers. All you need is a single-phase or three-phase power supply, depending on your requirements. What’s more, there are no fuel storage constraints. Another significant advantage is the silent operation of infrared heating, ideal for environments where quiet is required, such as bars, terraces or any other place where communication between people is essential. Some of our electric infrared heaters, with their elegant, streamlined design, fit perfectly into spaces where aesthetics are paramount. Discreet and refined, hot tops are a big hit in reception areas. Our extensive range also meets industrial heating needs. These sturdy radiant heaters are mobile (on castors) and perfectly suited to work or production areas.

Electric heating vs. gas and oil heating

Compared with gas or oil heating systems, electric heaters are not only more convenient, but also more environmentally friendly. They emit no odors or fumes, ensuring a cleaner, more pleasant environment. What’s more, the absence of fuel tanks makes electric heaters safer to use, especially on building sites. Renting this type of heater means you don’t have to worry about the regular maintenance often required by gas or oil-fired heating systems, while still benefiting from up-to-date, high-performance equipment.

Details to consider when renting electric heaters

When it comes to renting an electric heater, a number of criteria need to be taken into account. It’s essential to determine the right wattage for the size of the space and the climatic conditions. A heater that’s too weak won’t be efficient, while one that’s too powerful could consume more energy than necessary. Don’t hesitate to ask for advice on the type of equipment best suited to your situation. Our experts are at your disposal to guide you in your choice of electric heating rental, whether mobile or fixed, to perfectly meet your needs.

Why choose an electric heater?

Electric heating is distinguished by its ease of use and simple installation. It is powered directly by electricity, without the need to store fuels such as gas or oil. Thanks to its mobility, the electric mobile heater can be easily moved around the worksite or installed according to immediate needs. What’s more, renting electrical equipment means you can adjust your choice of heater according to the power required for the space to be heated. Whether you need to heat a small space or a large one, you’ll always find the right heater for the job.

How does electric infrared heating work?

Electric infrared heating uses the principle of radiation to spread heat. Unlike convection systems, which heat the ambient air, this type of heating acts directly on objects and people within its range. This limits energy loss and prevents heat from dissipating into the air, guaranteeing more efficient thermal comfort and optimized energy consumption.

What types of electric infrared heaters are there?

There are two main types of electric infrared heaters, each adapted to specific uses:

1. Short-wave infrared heating:
   This type of heater is ideal for outdoor use, particularly on terraces, in bars, on balconies or even in entrance halls to create a barrier against the cold. It diffuses immediate, comfortable heat, unaffected by air currents, offering a feeling of well-being to nearby people.
2. Long-wave infrared heating:
   Used mainly indoors, this type of heating is perfect for specific areas of large premises, where it is impossible to heat the whole building due to its volume or configuration. By emitting heat without air movement, it avoids the stirring up of particles and microbes, making the atmosphere healthier than with blower systems.

Depending on the configuration of the room, the power required generally varies between 100 and 300 W per m². It’s important to avoid heating large volumes in their entirety with an infrared heater, as this would lead to energy losses. In addition, the system should not be placed too high up to guarantee optimum efficiency.
