Heating a denim clothing store in Simferopol
Three Teplov P2000 infrared heaters were installed to heat a denim clothing store in Simferopol. The combined rated output is 6 kW. This project is an example of Teplov equipment used in retail premises where heating needs to fit around clothing displays, customer movement and staff activities.

What matters when heating a clothing store
Customers move between clothing racks, select items and spend time in front of mirrors. Sales staff spend their working shifts on the premises. Heating selection therefore needs to account for the positions of people, retail fixtures and fitting rooms.
In this setting, ceiling infrared heaters help keep floor space available for displays and walkways. The heaters do not need a separate space beside clothing racks, and their positions can be coordinated with the sales floor layout.
How infrared heat works in a retail space
An infrared heater transfers part of its heat by radiation to surfaces and people within its coverage. Surfaces absorb energy, warm up and then exchange heat with the surrounding air. Both air temperature and a person’s thermal surroundings affect comfort.
Equipment placement matters in a clothing store. Tall shelving, partitions and fitting-room structures can obstruct direct radiation. Selection therefore involves checking the direction of heating, the distance to people and the permitted installation conditions for the particular model.
Fitting rooms require separate attention: conditions inside an enclosed cubicle can differ from those on the sales floor. They need to be considered when designing the system, even in a small store.
Three P2000 heaters and the meaning of 6 kW
This project uses three identical P2000 heaters. When all units operate simultaneously at their rated output, the electrical load is 6 kW. One hour of operation under those conditions uses 6 kWh of electricity.
Installed capacity alone does not determine daily or monthly running costs. These also require information about operating hours, the control method, the required temperature and the premises’ heat losses.
A heat-loss calculation helps determine the power and number of heaters needed. Running costs also depend on insulation, glazing, air exchange and how often the entrance door is opened. The set of three P2000 heaters should therefore be treated as the solution for this particular project, rather than a standard package for every store.
Other retail heating projects
A closely related example is the bridal salon in Mariupol, where heating also supports customer comfort while selecting and trying on clothing.
A different approach to system operation is shown in the Travellers’ Club store project: programmable controls automatically lower the temperature setting at night. Such controls can be considered for a new system to suit the store’s opening hours.
Choosing heating for your store
To select equipment, prepare a sales floor plan showing the fitting rooms, room dimensions, ceiling height and details of insulation, windows and ventilation. The available electrical capacity and intended heating schedule are also important.
The cost includes the heaters, controls, mounts and electrical installation work. Contact Teplov to discuss equipment and placement. Learn more about possible applications in our section on heating for stores and other commercial premises.
Clothing Store Heating FAQ
Are three P2000 heaters enough for my store?
The number of heaters depends on heat losses, the layout and installation conditions. Three P2000 heaters are the equipment used in this particular project. Another store requires its own assessment.
Does a 6 kW capacity mean 6 kWh of electricity is used every hour?
That is the consumption for one hour with all three heaters running simultaneously at their rated output. Actual daily consumption depends on how long they are switched on and how the heating is controlled.
What should be considered when heating fitting rooms?
Consider cubicle positions, partitions, mounting height and where people are located relative to the heaters. Heaters on the sales floor cannot be assumed to provide the required conditions in every enclosed fitting room.
