Temporary Heating With Propane For Commercial Uses

Propane is the safe, portable choice for temporary heating.

From construction sites to crop drying, poultry brooders and beyond, propane provides reliable, efficient, and cost-effective heat that goes wherever you need it. Some equipment runs without the use of electricity so using propane frees up your electrical outlets (if you have them) for all the tools you need to run your day-to-day.

Why use propane for temporary heating?

It's portable.

Propane heaters can go anywhere you need them, and because propane cylinders are self-contained, you never need to worry about finding an electrical outlet to get your heater running.

It’s easy to use.

Whether you're using propane cylinders or a bulk propane tank, propane is easier to use than gasoline, diesel, natural gas, or kerosene. Refueling a cylinder is as simple as unscrewing an empty cylinder and screwing on a full one, and refilling a bulk tank is no different than refueling a gasoline tank—except that propane doesn't spill.

It’s safe.

Propane is nontoxic and non-pooling, so it doesn’t spill, and if tank leaks do occur, you won't have to worry about contaminated soil or groundwater, or damage to your facility.
