Unfortunately, if an industrial furnace or heat system is going to have problems, it will usually be in the coldest parts of winter when you need it the most. You may think that the only option you have is to close up shop until the furnace service can make it to your place of business for repairs, but you do have other options.

So if you have rental stores in your area, it is a good idea to call them up and see if they have something you can rent for a day or two until your furnace is repaired and back up and running.

You could buy a few of even have your employees bring a few of their own. To cut the costs of using the space heaters in such a large space, try closing off parts of the office that are not regularly used, such as conference rooms and other large spaces.
