  • What is a fused spur and do I need one?

    Fused spurs are commonly used as an alternative to a conventional socket, for the installation of powerful electrical appliances that can be installed without a plug, such as ovens, washing machines, electric heaters, dishwashers, fridges, and so on. For safety and maintenance purposes, these sorts of appliances may require installation on a separate cable from the ring main. All hand dryers in the UK have to be installed into a dedicated fused spur.

  • Are hand dryers an easy install for electricians?

    Yes, hand dryers are an easy install for most commercial electricians. The instructions for install that come with most dryers should be incredibly useful for your contractor too. Don't forget that each hand dryer has to have a dedicated fused spur to be installed into.

  • Can I test a hand dryer before renting?

    Yes, you can. Free trials of on loan equipment will last for two weeks only. It is the customers responsibility to advise the company should they not wish to take up the service. Should no advice be received, an invoice will be raised and a contract sent out.

  • What forms of payment do you accept?

    We accept payment by Direct Debit, Standing Order and on invoice. We use a third-party Direct Debit platform and customers who pay on invoice will need to pay invoices on the invoice date. We will set up an automatic recurring invoice.

  • How much deposit is required?

    We collect an advanced payment of the first 3, 6 or 9 months on the rental. The duration is determined based on your credit history.

  • Do you install hand dryers?

    Yes, we can install your dryers for you. You can contact our customer service team on 0114 3540047 and they will guide on what is required. 

  • What do I do in the event of a breakdown?

    Your rental contract includes On-site Breakdown Cover with us. You can contact us once you have any issues with your dryers, we will either send down an engineer to you or collect the dryer for assessment. Once we can establish that the issue is not as a result of vandalism or lack of care, we will repair or replace free of charge. If the issue is however due to either of the above stated reason, we can still repair or replace but this will come with a charge including carriage and admin costs. 

  • Can I buy out a hand dryer from a rental contract?

    Yes, you can, however this will be categorised under early termination which implies that all cost for the unexpired portion of the contract and those incurred since start date will be paid. In addition to this, the dryer will be valued based on the level of use since the start of the contract and this amount will need to be paid.

  • Can I put a contract on hold?

    The reason for a request such as this will be evaluated and decision will be made at our discretion.  To put an order on hold, you’ll be required to sign a Contract Extension Agreement which states that your rental period will be extended by the same duration with which it was put on hold.

  • Can I amend or cancel my rental contract?

    We allow amendment on a rental contract, but for easy processing, we will set up a new contract and payment on products added to the contract. Products reduced on a contract can maintain the same contract but we will set up a new payment for customers paying by direct debit as our platform does not allow amendment of verified payment. 

    Early termination or cancellation of a rental contract before completion of the contract term, you will be required to pay the cost of service equal to the unexpired portion of the contract plus any other cost incurred on the contract from the start date. 

    To terminate a contract at full term, you will be required to give us notice at least 3 months to the termination date, otherwise the contract automatically renews for the next 12 months. 

  • Do you offer credit accounts?

    Here at Intelligent Facility Solutions, we offer a standard 30days Net credit term from the invoice date and the credit limit offered is accessed on case-to-case basis. Other credit terms such as 30day End of Month, 60days Net are available but these are granted on case-to-case as well. 

    You can make a request for the application form at the point of placing your order, by calling our office on 01143540047 or send an email to accounts@ihdryers.co.uk and an application link will be sent to you which can be completed and submitted online. 

    Once your application has been received, we will carry out a credit check and make decision based on your credit history and report. 

    If your credit application is approved, we will send you an approval letter which will include an agreed credit limit. 

    If your credit application is declined, we will inform you likewise via an email, hence you will need to make an upfront payment for your order through Pro-forma or our website. 

    We review business with our trade customer regularly and the approved credit term or limit can be amended based on our business with you from the time of approval or last review. 

  • Hand Dryer: What is a fused spur?

  • Hand Dryer: What will the UV light in a hand dryer do?

    There are UV lights added in certain hand dryers to safely help kill virus and bacteria from within the dryer over a prolonged period of time. They help keep the insides of the dryers or HEPA filters clean. This is not to be confused with a blue light that may be shone on the hands during the drying time. This is purely a light to guide the user to the airflow to aid drying efficiency and contains no UV properties.

  • Hand Dryer: Will the heater element make a difference?

    It only makes fractional differences in speed of dry. The modern high speed models don't need to rely on a heater element to evaporate the water, the speed of the air flow does the job a lot more efficiently. The heat is primarily a psychological / comfort feature. One of the main reasons hand dryers don't include a heater element or they have the ability to switch it off is without the heater on they are so much more energy efficient. This means better for the environment but also cheaper to run. The heat generated from the motor usually does enough to heat the airflow to a comfortable level anyway and as already said the pros of not having one certainly out way the cons of a seconds quicker dry time.
