Direct fired gas heaters, known for their 100% heating fuel efficiency and minimal power requirements, are frequently employed for heating open spaces on construction sites. These heaters are particularly useful during the initial phase of new constructions due to the influx of fresh air. The heat output from such heaters is dependent on the BTU output of the natural gas meter, making it crucial to verify this measurement to avoid unnecessary heater rental costs.

When the building was completely sealed with door and windows in place, and the inside finishing work was started, Porta-Air received a call for help. When we arrived, we noticed a 1 million Btu open flame direct fired heater running off of propane located in the middle of the construction site floor. Since open flame heaters emit carbon dioxide and water vaper when they are starved of oxygen, this explained why the contractor was frustrated and having headaches and water vapor issues inside the enclosed space. We proposed an indirect fired unit, but the building layout and subcontractor tasks did not favor this option. With plenty of power in the building, several 15kW electric rental heaters were placed throughout the construction area. Electric portable heaters on wheels are easily moved when they are in the way of a construction task. This heating option was the best choice for the general contractor so the sub-contractors could wrap-up their work.
