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.
Thermobile/Master (Dantherm Group): Broad range; availability varies by distributor. HeatStar backs nationwide Canadian demand with consistent access to heaters and parts.

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

FAQs

Are Mr. Heater and HeatStar the same company?

Yes. Both are Enerco brands. Enerco (Cleveland, Ohio) has led infrared combustion technology since 1957, supplying both consumer heaters (Mr. Heater) and heavy-duty commercial and construction heat (HeatStar).

What is the best heater to heat a garage?

For detached or drafty garages, a forced air propane or natural gas unit delivers fast, even heat. For targeted warmth near workbenches, choose a HeatStar radiant or high-intensity infrared heater. If the space is enclosed, consider an indirect-fired unit for clean, dry air and safe exhaust venting.

What heaters have the lowest fire risk?

Indirect-fired heaters keep combustion separate from occupied air, reducing exposure to fumes and flame. Radiant and tube heaters mounted overhead also lower floor-level hazards. Always follow CSA/UL guidelines and site-specific ventilation requirements.

Who makes Enerco heaters?

Enerco Group Inc. manufactures and markets Mr. Heater and HeatStar. Since 2013, Enerco has also partnered with Stanley Black & Decker to produce professional-grade portable heating products.

Which propane heater is the most efficient?

Efficiency depends on the application. For enclosed spaces, an indirect-fired HeatStar unit paired with ducting and thermostatic control can significantly reduce fuel use. For open or semi-enclosed areas, high-intensity infrared delivers efficient, targeted heat with minimal loss to moving air.

What is the warranty on HeatStar heaters?

Most HeatStar units include a one-year manufacturer’s warranty. Extended coverage is available when tied to a maintenance plan. Contact our service team for warranty options and recommended service intervals.

What is the best space heater made?

The “best” heater depends on the use case. For open job sites, direct-fired forced air offers high BTUs at low cost. For enclosed or occupied spaces, indirect-fired heat provides clean air. For spot heating in drafty areas, choose radiant or high-intensity infrared. HeatStar covers all three.

Do HeatStar heaters meet Canadian safety standards?

HeatStar models are designed to meet or exceed CSA/UL requirements. Always confirm certifications by model and follow local codes and ventilation guidance.

Can I get parts and manuals for HeatStar in Canada?

Yes. HeatStar heater parts and manuals are readily available to support rapid maintenance and minimize downtime.

What fuel should I choose: propane, natural gas, diesel, or kerosene?

Propane/natural gas: clean, widely available, easy for temp heat and indoor-rated use with proper venting.
Diesel/kerosene: ideal for remote sites and high-BTU requirements; common for indirect-fired towable units.
