Internal Trace Heating

Cross Electrical (Nottingham) Ltd offer both internal and external electrical trace heating systems. The best thing about our systems is that it complements, not replaces any other application.

How does heating systems benefit other pipes?

A long length of fuel oil pipeline will often benefit from internal tracing, as long as the pipeline is not required to be pigged, pipelines with a large number of valves and flanges, will favour external tracing.

Certain liquids such as fuel oil are thick at low temperatures and are normally passed through a pipe as part of the process or for transport; the internal trace heating ensures that the thickness is kept low when the pipeline is full of the product, trace heating is very very useful. Because in winter the chemicals will thicken up in the cold weather but by heating up these chemicals it will keep it liquefied so it is easier to extract when the driver as reached his destination.

Internal heating is effective in areas where the pipes are used much less frequently as the product temperature can be raised to a more fluid state in much shorter time with internal heating

How to save money on heating

At Cross Electrical we only bring you the very best in heating products on the market.

Insulation 

Insulation is critical as it works in conjunction with your heating.  Lack of insulation will only result in a very cold house with a very high heating bill; you will be throwing money away as the heat escapes from your home. Insulating your home will trap the hot air inside keeping your bills low and you and your home warmer for longer.

Under floor heating

If you haven’t yet got around to checking your home insulation then under floor heating could still be the best option for you. 

It is a great alternative to traditional radiators or hot-air heating systems in heating your home.

Under floor heating operates at a lower temperature than central heating systems and requires a lower room temperature making the heating system more efficient and it covers a large surface area.

Under floor heating helps prevent draughts between floor boards, trapping more heat in your home. Add floor insulation to this and your heat will be retained for even longer, heating your home more efficiently. 

Choosing your under floor heating system

If you are looking for under floor heating but not sure what to go for, please give Cross Electrical a call on 0115 937 5121 or email us on heat@cross-electrical.co.uk where a member of staff will be only too pleased to help you decide.

Christmas may be over, but the cold winter days are still to come, in this blog we will be explaining what are the best heating applications you can have in your house, to keep yourself warm

Heated Matt – these are perfect for indoors or outdoors during the winter months, for indoor use you can keep this mat as a heated welcome mat or leave it next to your bed when you get up in the morning.
You can also use other heated mats for your walkway up to your house, keeping your driveway clean as the heat will melt the snow so you will always have a clear path to and from your home.

Underfloor heating – heating is the best heating option for your house or business as it does not only save energy but it is known that it also improves the quality of air.

Melting solutions for Snow and Ice in the Winter months!

It’s that time of year again! December is upon up and winter have well and truly reared its icy head. As we enter these cold months, ice, snow and freezing all become issues that we are faced with. We all look forward to a white Christmas, but sometimes problems can arise from a winter wonderland.

Once the holidays are over and the work force returns, it’s often when the real cold sets in. Snow and ice can be dangerous for those on the pavement as well as those in vehicles on the road.

At Cross Electrical we have a range of snow and ice melting solutions that can help keep your property and business safe for users.

Winter danger areas include roads, driveways, ramps, helipads and pedestrian zones. These can all are kept free from snow and ice with Cross Electrical. There is less traffic congestion and there are fewer accidents on icy winter roads.

Using a Cross outdoor surface heating/cooling system saves costs, reduces the amount of personnel required for clearing snow and minimises personal injury and damage to property significantly in adverse weather conditions. In addition to this, the system is energy efficient, as all systems have ‘bespoke’ temperature control panels incorporating electronic controllers with remote sensors mounted in the surface of the outdoor area providing maximum energy savings.

Stations or other services that are outside which see a lot of footfall would benefit from underground heating as additional costs for the operator for on-call duty such as clearing snow and cleaning up is difficult to plan ahead of time. At the same time, the costs for cleaning the carriages and maybe escalators which exist due to the contamination caused by grit and salt are reduced.

Should the heating cables be directly under asphalt, embedded in concrete or integrated into stairways or steps our products provide longevity of service for any application. To find out more about our Cross snow melting system don’t hesitate to contact us with your questions.

Our top tips for saving money on heating this winter!

We hate to face up to it, but the fact is, winter is here! The clocks have gone back, Halloween has been and gone, and the temperatures are starting to drop lower and lower.

As you know, here at Cross Electrical we offer Thermal Insulation, Electrical Trace Heating, Frost Protection and Temperature Maintenance services to businesses and individuals up and down the country. We also supply underfloor heating services – which is one fantastic way to chop your energy bills in half for the winter!

The GREEN ELECTRIC MAT From Hemstedt with unilateral connection and i-sleeve (see more here) is the floor heating mat that provides economically efficient heating. Underfloor heating is also a luxury in the winter months, creating an ambient temperature and a pleasant warm floor underfoot. A luxury that saves you money and helps the environment – for us it’s a no brainer!

But what else can you do to save on your bills this winter...?

Put on a jumper!

Okay, this may sound silly, but it’s true! Most families have the heating on at 20 degrees centigrade all day, and wander about the house comfortably in a T-shirt. By turning down your thermostat by just one degree, to 19 degrees, you can shave £60 a year from your bill! If you feel cold just wear a few more layers, but you will barely notice the difference if your house is well insulated!

Be clever!

You can make sure that the central heating and hot water is off when you’re out for the day - whether that’s at work, school or visiting friends and family! By using your timer carefully and cleverly, so it comes on only when absolutely necessary, you can save a lot of money!

Turn off the radiators in rooms you don’t use, like a guest bedroom for example, and keep windows and doors closed if the heating is turned on.

Go old school

As well as wrapping up, why not buy a hot water bottle! These days you can pick one up for less than £4 and they can really help to keep you warm, especially in bed at night! As well as this, stock up on fleecy blankets and throws to keep you warm! You can buy lovely soft throws on the high street or in supermarkets for a fiver – which will save you a lot of money if it means turning your thermostat a bit more!

Be careful with your lights

Lighting accounts for 19% of the average household’s electricity bill. One no brainer is switching to energy-saving bulbs – which can knock over £55 a year off your bills!

Cut out your bad habits when it comes to having your lights on! Be vigilant in turning off lights when you’re going out, or if you’re not in a room.  Unplug appliances that have a light on when inactive. That includes the TV, DVD player and even your mobile phone charger.

Keep your heat in!

Don’t let heat you’re paying for slip out! Make sure that you draw the curtains or blinds at night and use draught-blockers for doors to maintain as much keep as possible!

These are but a few on the many tips that float around when it comes to keeping your and your home warm without facing huge winter energy bills! Do you have any other tips or tricks up your sleeves? We’d love to hear them so drop us a comment below or contact us on FB or Twitter!
