Recently, increasing energy costs have started to create a heavy burden for cafe and restaurant operators. So what can be done to save on heating systems, which have a significant share in the energy costs of cafes and restaurants? Çukurova Isı, the leading brand in the radiant heating market in Turkey, shared tips for heating cafes and restaurants in a less costly way. It is possible to reduce heating costs by 40% with the right system selection.

In these days when energy costs are rising, cafe and restaurant operators, who are frequently on the agenda with their surging electricity and natural gas bills, have started to search for economical heating solutions.

Çukurova Isı, which offers budget-friendly heating solutions for cafes and restaurants, shared tips for economical heating. By applying these methods, you can reduce your business’s surging electricity and natural gas bills and at the same time offer comfortable environments to your customers.

“Choosing the right system starts with exploration and project design service”

“Increasing electricity and natural gas bills have become a serious problem for cafe and restaurant operators in recent days. However, it is possible to save up to 40 percent of energy by making the right choice in heating systems, which have a significant share in the energy expenses of cafes and restaurants,” said Çukurova Heating Marketing Manager Osman Ünlü, and continued his words as follows:

“When choosing the right heating system, cafe and restaurant operators should first prefer companies with strong engineering infrastructures and free exploration and project design services. Because choosing the right system starts with exploration and project design service.

“The open and closed areas of cafes and restaurants should be evaluated separately”

The primary criterion while making the exploration should be the architecture of the space. The open and closed areas of cafes and restaurants should be evaluated separately. In this context, the primary choice for closed areas should be “hot air generator”; because since hot air generators directly heat the air, it is possible to feel the same temperature everywhere in the applied space and provide a much more comfortable environment.

The evaluation criteria for open spaces should be details such as the structure of the space, namely its height, table layout, wind conditions of the space, and whether or not there is an awning or a fixed ceiling above the space. In open areas, pipe radiant systems, ceramic plate radiant systems or high-intensity electric infrared products should be preferred.”

“High-strength products should be selected”

When making a system choice; products with high strength that can operate with high performance for many years without being affected by external environmental conditions should be preferred,” said ÜNLÜ, who also shared information about the hardware features that heating technologies to be used in cafes and restaurants should have:

Sustainable savings and comfort

“The outer casing of the heater that will be used outdoors for a long time in the cold winter must have high strength. For example, the outer casing of our Goldsun ceramic plate heaters is resistant to 600 degrees, while the grills and heat shields on the front surface of the devices are covered with ceramic that does not rust and does not flake. Thanks to the stainless steel grills installed in front of these plates, which have the highest combustion and radiation efficiency in the market, we provide a 20 percent increase in device efficiency.

Reflector is also an important criterion when choosing a ceramic plate heater. Because the reflector ensures that the energy emitted from the devices is directed towards the customers in the space, not the air, thus providing both comfort and energy savings.

In ceramic plate heaters, the transparent ceramic glass placed in front of the ceramic plates also cuts the oncoming wind currents by 100 percent. Thanks to the glass, which becomes more transparent as it heats up, the radiation spreads to wider areas.

The high-heat-resistant wind shield placed in front of the ceramic plates in the heaters also slows down the oncoming wind currents to a great extent, preventing the device from being affected by external environmental conditions.

The flame-sensing electrodes located at both ends of the devices ensure that the combustion continues in windy environments, thus maintaining the comfort conditions in the environment. For this reason, we recommend that operators prefer products with such equipment in order to ensure the sustainability of savings and comfort conditions in their spaces.

Energy savings of up to 40 percent

As Çukurova Isı, we can meet all of these hardware features we have listed in our Goldsun branded electric and natural gas heaters. Thus, we provide energy savings of up to 40 percent compared to its equivalents in heating.

Amortization period: 1-3 years

With this advantage obtained from operating expenses, the system amortizes itself in a short period of 1-3 years. With our advanced heating technologies, we provide high energy savings and maximum comfort in cafes and restaurants, ensuring high customer satisfaction,” he said.
