HeatStar vs. Other Heating Solutions in Canada
-
Frost Fighter (Winnipeg, MB): Indirect-fired workhorses for harsh cold and long duct runs. Heavier, premium-priced tow/skid units. HeatStar offers comparable indirect options plus broader portable and radiant coverage.
-
Flagro (ON): cETLus indirect and dual-fuel lineup with stainless exchangers; focused on temp heat. HeatStar adds high-intensity infrared, vent-free, and patio-focused radiant options.
-
Wacker Neuson (HI series): Engineered for −60°F with cold-weather kits; higher complexity and cost. HeatStar delivers rugged performance with simpler maintenance and strong parts access.
-
L.B. White (Premier/Journeyman): Efficient direct-fired for tents/events; indirect available for enclosed spaces. HeatStar covers job sites, ag, and hospitality with both direct/indirect and radiant solutions.
-
Allmand Maxi-Heat: Towable indirect diesel up to 1M BTU; great for very large sites but overkill for smaller jobs. HeatStar scales from small shops to large projects with flexible fuel and form factors.

Sizing Your Heatstar Heater
To size a Heatstar heater correctly, calculate your space’s heating needs in BTU/hr:
-
Measure your space
-
Volume = Length × Width × Height (in cubic feet)
-
-
Adjust for insulation
-
Well-insulated: Use 10–15 BTU per cubic foot
-
Average insulation: 20–25 BTU/cu. ft.
-
Poor insulation/drafty: 30–40 BTU/cu. ft.
-
-
Factor in temperature rise
-
ΔT = Desired indoor temp − Outdoor temp
-
Example: Want 65°F indoors when it’s 35°F outside? ΔT = 30°F
-
-
Estimate BTU/hr need
-
Example:
-
Room: 20' × 20' × 10' = 4,000 cu. ft.
-
Insulation: Average (20 BTU/cu. ft.)
-
4,000 × 20 = 80,000 BTU/hr required
