Industrial Heaters Review
Why Buy an Industrial Heater?
Portable industrial heaters offer a cost-effective alternative to leasing and renting industrial heaters. Our units are used worldwide to heat up buildings, aircraft engines, aircraft cabins, constructions sites, mining sites, and heavy duty equipment such as construction vehicles, airplanes up-to bed bug extermination. Our industrial portable models are able to heat thousands of square feet of space.
Our most popular industrial heaters include the BT 400NEX SERIES, All-In-One Heat Power and Light Heaters and Flameless Heaters which offer different types of heat for warming small to large areas. Not all heaters are built the same. The Herman Nelson industrial heaters will heat your site as quickly and efficiently as possible.
However, knowing what to look for in an industrial heater allows you to choose the best one for your building, construction/mining area, airport or industry.
Industrial Space Heaters: What to Look For
Industrial space heaters come with a number of different types of fuel options, different heating capacity, different methods of creating heat and the portability.
We created a list of features that can help you choose the appropriate industrial heater that works for your heating needs.

Fuel Type
Naturally, industrial space heaters are generally powered by either electricity, gasoline or diesel. Different fuel types offer different types of heat. Re-circulating heaters are an example of heaters that are powered by electricity that create heat by producing heat and then recirculates the produced heated air to reduce fuel consumption. Gasoline and diesel space heaters are usually portable, they also offer more types of heat and can even sit on the floor.
Capacity
Heating capacity or range is a vital thought when choosing an industrial space heater because it marks how much area or how big of a building you can heat. Some space heaters are made just for outdoor use, but there are also heaters that only heat a particular area. Others are meant to heat large warehouses and buildings between 10,000 to 20,000 feet. Capacity is measured in BTUs, which can vary from under 100,000 to several hundred thousand, permitting you to heat small rooms, large warehouses, and even heavy-duty equipment.
Type of Heat
Industrial heaters contain high-temperature rise, low-temperature rise, air recirculation and low-intensity options. High-temperature rise heaters rapidly heat an area for instant warmth, making them suitable for heating an area quickly, but inefficient for leaving on for longer periods. Low-rise heaters warm areas more gradually. Infrared or low-intensity heaters are suitable for warming particular spaces. Air recirculation heat uses air circulation to add to the heat, making them a good fit for large warehouses.
Air Circulation
Air circulation allows heat to flow throughout a room. Regularly, industrial heaters with air circulation have forced heat, fans or ventilation. Forced heat is ideal for smaller and large areas because it impulses warm air through an entire building. This option is not meant for outdoors or anywhere that has an open window or door because the moving air pushes the heat right outside. For example, a garage would be an ideal place for this option, or a warm-up shack. However, they are not suitable for areas that are larger than 10,000 square feet because they become unproductive after that size.
Portability
Portability is only important if you normally move from building to building, change warehouses or want to bring the heat along with you and your workers to a job site. Some heaters come with wheels, allowing you to roll them easily onto a truck or trailer to bring with you. Others attach to the ceiling and are not portable at all.
Choosing your industrial space heater based on these features allows you to find a model that heats your space as professionally as possible. Specifics such as portability, type of power or fuel and the type of heating ensures that the heater works no matter where you intend to use it.
