Welfare units such as site offices and temporary buildings are no different to any other workplace, they all require heating in some form. The most common form of heating is provided through diesel or petrol (gasoline) fired heaters. The two most popular and reliable heaters are manufactured in Europe by Webasto and Eberspacher.
Why diesel heaters are installed in welfare units
Heaters are installed in welfare units to provide dry heating for all rooms, and in some units, drying rooms. The heat is delivered to individual rooms through ducting, usually installed in the wall space so they are out of view. Most will have some form or thermostatic control.
Popular welfare unit heater models include.
Air Heaters:
- Eberspacher Airtronic D2, D4 and D4S
- Webasto Air Top 2000 STC
Water Heaters:
- Eberspacher Hydronic D5WSC
- Webasto Thermo Top C

Heating Maintenance Responsibility
No business can afford downtime due to un-endurable working conditions. This is very much so when welfare units are involved.
A cold welfare unit does not make for happy staff and could lead to employees refusing to work under those conditions. Health and Safety regulations require employers to provide a comfortable and safe environment for workers, and staff would be within their rights to refuse to work in cold conditions.
When welfare units are supplied on a rental basis the maintenance of the heating system will often be the responsibility of the hire company who supply the unit. Check your hire contract.
Welfare Unit Heating - Regular Servicing and Maintenance
The warmer months are the ideal time to have the heating systems within welfare units serviced and repaired in preparation for the colder months. This will avoid unnecessary work stoppages due to broken down heaters, and if you are the hiring company, overloading your welfare unit maintenance team when the cold weather arrives.
