How to Choose the Right Heater

Area Size & Heat Output (BTUs)

  • Estimate the square footage or cubic volume you need to heat, plus insulation quality, and translate that into the BTU output your heater rental needs to deliver
  • Larger or poorly insulated spaces require higher-BTU units to maintain temperature, especially in cold climates or open structures
  • Confirm your target temperature so you can size heat output with enough margin for heat loss

Application & Heat Type

  • Identify whether you need direct-fired heaters for general space heating, indirect-fired heaters where combustion byproducts can't enter the space, or ground heaters for frost protection and concrete curing
  • Use indirect-fired heaters for enclosed spaces with people or sensitive materials, amd direct-fired units for ourdoor or well-ventilated areas
  • Match heater type to your application to avoid air quality issues or damage to sensitive materials

Power Source & Ventilation

  • Confirm available power or fuel type, such as electric, propane/natural gas or diesel, and plan for heater safety requirements
  • Verify voltage, phase or fuel type, and plan run time, refueling or charging so heat isn't interrupted during critical curing or drying periods
  • Ensure adequate clearance and ventilation around the heater to operate safely and efficiently

What size heater do I need (BTU)?

The size heater you need depends on the size of the area you want to heat. Generally, you need about 20 to 30 BTU of heating power for every square foot of indoor space. For poorly insulated areas or cold climates, increase this estimate to 40 or 50 BTU per square foot.

How long can diesel, propane and natural gas heaters run on a single tank of fuel?

How long a heater can run on a single tank of fuel depends on the heater's BTU output, the heat settings and the size of the fuel tank. A diesel heater can typically run 10 to 60 hours, while propane heaters can typically run 10 to 20 hours on a single tank of fuel. Natural gas heaters are connected directly to a gas line, so it can run indefinitely without refueling.

What types of heaters are best for large outdoor events?

The type of heaters that are best for outdoor events depend on the type of event. If the event is outside but underneath a tent, the best type of heater is an indirect-fired heater because it pumps fume-free heat into the tent. If the event is outside in an open space, the best heater to use is an infrared heater that directs the heat directly at people instead of trying to heat the entire space.
