When temperatures drop, it’s important to stay warm not only to stay comfortable but safe from the dangers of the cold. Staples offers a variety of propane space heaters to help the entire crew stay warm outdoors!
How Can You Stay Warm With Propane Space Heaters?
Portable propane heaters burn propane gas to generate heat for everyone close enough to feel it. They’re ideal for warming up a specific area, whether you want the heat aimed in one direction or in just the general vicinity of the heater.
Propane space heaters are great for outdoor use at construction sites, sporting events, factories, utility or farm buildings and barns. Unlike electric space heaters, using propane as a fuel source provides a solution in circumstances where electricity is not available, making them convenient for emergencies. To ensure safety, propane heaters should be used only as instructed.
At Staples, you’ll find portable propane heaters that can warm environments from 16 to 4,000 square feet.
What Are the Features of a Propane Space Heater?
Today's propane heaters are safer — especially when used with other fire, gas and water protection tools — more efficient and less costly to operate than they used to be. Aside from the size, keep an eye out for other helpful features depending on how you plan to use your space heater.
- Push-button ignition - Turning the propane space heater on and off is simple and achieving the ideal temperature setting can be done with multi-position controls.
- Enhanced durability - Portable propane heaters with shock-absorbing insulation can handle tough job sites, and models with wind and weather resistance are perfect for use in harsh conditions.
- Assorted safety features - Prioritize the safety of your team with features like tip-over protection and automatic shut-off. Almost all propane heaters have automatic shut-offs that act as fire extinguishers that put out the flame if the unit is tilted or tipped, making them a safe option for heating your space.
- Radiant or Convection Heat - Convection heaters heat the air that circulates through the target area, making it an indirect heater. Although they usually cover less area than convection heaters, radiant heaters offer more direct heating by radiating infrared heating out directly to the air.
- Wheels - Wheels make a propane heater more portable so you can place the heat exactly where you need it.
- Forced Air - Instead of heating an overall space, these propane space heaters concentrate hot air in the direction you want it.
