How to regulate your hall heating during the Christmas break - and how to cleverly counter rising energy prices
December 17, 2025
The Christmas holidays are approaching surprisingly quickly once again—and unfortunately, so are a few challenges. These range from excessive heating costs to the European Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD). Congratulations if you have already converted your hall heating to an economical system from KÜBLER. This is a really good decision in many respects, especially if your hall heating is primarily gas-powered.
While industrial electricity prices are expected to fall as a result of subsidy measures, gas prices are expected to rise significantly in 2026. This is primarily due to rising grid fees and a volatile supply situation caused by geopolitical risks.
This makes saving energy all the more important. Here are three important expert tips for you:
- Take a close look at the operating times of the hall heating systems and check whether the shift times are still synchronized with the heating times. Every hour of heating that you can save during normal operation is really worthwhile given the high prices.
- Clarify vacation operation during the festive period in good time and use the "Holiday operation" setting on your control unit. You can regulate the heating system down to 8 °C during the Christmas break, provided your general conditions allow this. This temperature is sufficient to ensure that the building does not cool down completely and that the operating temperature can be reached again quickly if required. You can already make the settings for Christmas and the other holidays now.
- Switch back to normal operation at the weekend before starting work. The system will run at the setback temperature according to your settings and resume normal operation on Monday.
Depending on the size of your system, reducing the temperature will save you several thousand euros. A sum that you can certainly budget for in the coming financial year. Perhaps even to celebrate with your employees and raise a glass to the New Year?

While Germany is discussing the energy transition, KÜBLER GmbH from Ludwigshafen has already delivered. FUTURA is the name of the latest invention from the experts for hall heating systems - and it works regardless of the energy source: the infrared heating system for halls uses hydrogen, electricity, gas or a mix of these. It can process green and fossil fuels highly efficiently, thus building a bridge to the carbon-free era. This is one of the reasons why the Investitions- und Strukturbank Rheinland-Pfalz (ISB) and the Ministry of Economic Affairs, Transport, Agriculture and Viticulture awarded KÜBLER the special prize "Innovative Technologies for Climate Protection" at the SUCCESS Innovation Award on Tuesday evening. -
Anyone who operates one of the approximately 360,000 hall buildings that have been built in Germany since the 1960s has certainly already got cold feet this winter. It is quite likely that the heating systems in these halls are over 20 years old and are likely to cause regular malfunctions or even production stoppages. Not to mention the high heating costs or the trouble with employees and the works council. -
Not only politicians have pulled the ripcord, many companies are also planning to extend the Christmas break and shut down operations at least until the second week of January. Machines will be at a standstill for weeks and the doors to the factory buildings will remain closed.

Operators of indoor heating systems are also responsible for having their system serviced regularly. In addition to operational safety, there are other good reasons why maintenance should not be put on the back burner!
