Flagro Direct-Fired Heaters: Industrial Heating Solutions
When temperatures drop and projects demand consistent heat, Flagro direct-fired heaters deliver the power and reliability Canadian professionals trust. Built for the toughest conditions and backed by fast parts service, these heating solutions keep construction sites, warehouses, and facilities running when it matters most.
What are Direct-Fired Heaters?
Direct-fired heaters combust fuel directly in the airstream, delivering nearly 100% heat efficiency. Unlike indirect-fired units that separate combustion gases from heated air, direct-fired models release all combustion products into the heated space. This design makes them ideal for well-ventilated areas like construction sites, large warehouses, and outdoor applications.
What Makes Flagro Direct-Fired Heaters Your Best Choice?
Proven Canadian Performance – Founded in 1978 in St. Catharines, Ontario, Flagro understands harsh Canadian winters. Certified technicians test every heater to meet rigorous safety and regulatory standards.
Fuel Flexibility – Switch between propane and natural gas with dual-fuel models, ensuring your heating never stops regardless of fuel availability.
24/7 Reliability – Engineered with 100% flame safeguard systems, overheat protection, and electronic ignition for continuous operation when your projects can't wait.
Fast Parts Service – Minimize downtime with Flagro's proven parts program and quick turnaround times across Canada.
Understanding Direct-Fired Heater Technology
Direct-fired heaters burn fuel in an open combustion chamber, delivering nearly 100% fuel efficiency by releasing heated air directly into your workspace. This makes them ideal for:
-
Construction sites requiring a rapid temperature rise
-
Warehouses with adequate ventilation
-
Agricultural facilities needing high-output heating
-
Emergency heating situations demand immediate warmth
Key Safety Features

Sizing Your Flagro Direct-Fired Heater
Quick BTU Calculation:
-
Open/ventilated areas: 20-30 BTU per sq ft
-
Semi-enclosed workshops: 30-40 BTU per sq ft
-
Enclosed/insulated spaces: 40-50 BTU per sq ft
Example: A 2,000 sq ft construction site needs approximately 60,000-100,000 BTU capacity.
Cleanflow Tip: Factor in ceiling height, insulation quality, and outside temperature when sizing. When in doubt, contact Cleanflow's technical team for professional sizing support.
Fuel Options: Propane vs Natural Gas
Propane Advantages
-
Higher BTU content per unit
-
Portable tanks for remote locations
-
Works anywhere, no utility connection required
-
Reliable in extreme cold
Natural Gas Advantages
-
Lower cost per BTU delivered
-
Continuous supply via utility lines
-
No tank refilling required
-
Ideal for permanent installations
Dual-fuel models give you the flexibility to switch between fuels based on availability and cost, ensuring your heating never stops.
Safety and Ventilation Requirements
Critical Ventilation Rule: Provide 1 square inch of fresh air intake for every 1,000 BTU/hr of heater output.
Example: A 400,000 BTU heater requires 400 square inches of fresh air opening.
Important Safety Notes:
-
Never use direct-fired heaters in poorly ventilated spaces
-
Install carbon monoxide detectors in enclosed areas
-
Keep combustible materials away from the heater
