Forced Air Heaters for Sale in Canada - Cleanflow Heating Solutions

Looking for reliable heating that delivers fast, powerful warmth? Forced air heaters are the go-to choice for contractors, facility managers, and homeowners who need efficient heating in garages, workshops, construction sites, and industrial spaces.

At Cleanflow, we offer a complete selection of forced air heaters for sale, including top-rated Heatstar models designed to handle Canada's toughest conditions.

What Are Forced Air Heaters?

A forced air heater works by pulling in cool air, heating it with natural gas, propane, or kerosene, then pushing the warm air out with a powerful fan. This design delivers rapid, even heat distribution across large areas – making them perfect for spaces that need quick warmup.

Unlike radiant heaters that warm objects directly, forced air heaters heat the entire space efficiently. They're built tough for industrial use and designed to keep working in demanding conditions.

How to Choose the Right Forced Air Heater

Calculate Your Heating Needs

Use this simple formula to size your heater:

BTU Needed = Square Feet × Desired Temperature Rise × Insulation Factor ÷ 60

Insulation Factors:

Well insulated: 5-7
Average insulation: 8-10
Poor insulation: 12-15

Example: A 2,000 sq ft garage with average insulation needing a 40°F rise requires approximately 107,000 BTUs.
