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. 6
This is to ensure any new heating regime or changes to an existing system does not cause added harm to the historic fabric and interiors.
How Cooltouch Heaters can help
We must remember that 13th century churches were never meant to be heated. It is not until Victorian times that heating systems were installed in village churches.
Wall paintings and memorials can be badly affected by extreme variations in temperature and humidity caused by whole building heating systems. Where whole church heating is used a constant stable temperature and humidity is required to prevent damage to these important bits of history.
We aim to apply minimum warmth to the building so that the environment is not affected.
