👉 A turning point for industrial heating professionals
❌ Increasing bans on gas systems in enclosed spaces
Traditional gas boilers and air heaters are increasingly being called into question in warehouses, workshops, garages and enclosed industrial buildings .
For what ?
Because these systems:
-
produce CO₂ and NOx
-
pose ventilation/mechanical ventilation/safety problems
-
often require a boiler room declaration or a costly upgrade to current standards
-
and in some cases, have become completely prohibited in public access buildings or low-energy buildings
📜 What the regulations say (France / Europe)
According to recent directives (RT 2012, RE2020, ICPE, ERP…), several restrictions apply :
-
🚫 Gas is prohibited for direct heating in enclosed, unventilated spaces.
-
🚫 Gas installations subject to mandatory declaration/maintenance/servicing
-
🚫 Some insurers refuse to cover gas systems in warehouses without high & low ventilation
-
✅ Infrared radiant electrical installations are outside the scope of ICPE regulations , therefore simpler to validate during inspections.
And with the RE2020 regulations, new buildings must, in most cases, use gas anyway .
✅ The solution? Radiant electric heating
The Fargau electric infrared heater allows you to:
-
to avoid any combustion → no CO₂, no NOx, no mandatory ventilation
-
immediate heat without inertia
-
a simple installation , without a boiler room, without heavy maintenance
-
precise, position-by-position management
-
a solution 100% compatible with RE2020 and modern warehouses
🔧 Concrete example
A 400 m² warehouse heated by two gas-fired air heaters → needs to renovate its installation.
💡 By passing over 4 infrared wall or ceiling radiant heaters →
✔️ No more need for ventilation
✔️ Virtually zero maintenance cost
✔️ No risk to insurance companies
✔️ Compliant with RE2020
🔥 Conclusion
Gas is receding. Radiant electricity is advancing.
At Fargau, we support each professional client to offer a compliant, efficient, and sustainable solution .
