St Peter's church, Terwick
The service on Christmas Day went very well and the heating was much admired and enjoyed! When I turned on the heaters at about 9.10am the temperature in the church was 10 degrees (much warmer than normal, of course) and when the service finished it was 15.5 degrees.
Who said it doesn't warm the building as well?!!!
On a normal December day, of course, it would not have been quite so good I am sure. Anyway, thank you for enabling us to have a warm, worry-free day; no descending the boiler room steps and dangling down a sump to change the water level in the boiler room. What a joy!
Now we just need the electrician to come back and finish off and then we can consider the decommissioning of the boiler room and the removal of the oil tank and then the whole job will be done. Yippee!

Warming your congregation, not heating the building
Fabric Commissions guiding principle No. 4
Different solutions apply to different churches—there is no ‘one size fits all’
Every heating solution must be designed around the individual church’s use and nature. Those churches which get used for one or two services on a Sunday with the odd hour mid-week for the bell-ringers and/or choir make up a substantial number of the churches in the country. The efficient heating solution in such a church is radically different to those churches which have activities occurring in them 5 days a week for 6 to 8 hours a day. The heating advice must therefore be rooted in a clear understanding of how each individual church is used, now and in the future.
