Key factors include:

• Heating capacity (BTU/h) relative to the area or volume you need to warm. Our heaters can cover from small rooms (few hundred square feet) up to large construction or tent spaces (thousands of square feet)
• Fuel type and availability: propane, kerosene, gas, or dual-fuel options. Choose a fuel that’s easy to refuel on site and compatible with your ventilation / emissions constraints
• Ventilation and safety requirements: ensure that exhaust clearance, combustion air intake, and ventilation meet site and code requirements (especially in enclosed spaces)

Typical maintenance items include:

• Cleaning or replacing fuel filters, air intake filters, and burner nozzles periodically.

• Checking and cleaning the combustion chamber, heat exchanger, and exhaust ports to remove soot or debris buildup that can reduce efficiency or cause safety hazards.

• Inspecting and tightening fuel and air plumbing connections, hose fittings, and electrical wiring.

• Verifying that blower fans (on forced-air heaters) spin freely and that motor bearings are lubricated as recommended.

• Confirming proper ignition operation, flame sensing or safety shutoff devices, and thermostatic controls (if equipped).

• Draining water condensate (if using propane or natural gas fuel) and keeping fuel fresh, especially if the heaters sit idle for extended periods.

Start by estimating the volume or square footage of the space or job site you’ll need to heat, and determine the desired temperature rise and runtime in cold conditions.
