Indirect Fired Heaters Canada – Clean, Safe Jobsite Heat
When your worksite demands clean, breathable air, indirect-fired heaters are the only choice. At Cleanflow, we offer a top-tier selection of industrial indirect-fired heaters designed to deliver clean, dry, and fume-free heat for construction, industrial, and commercial settings across Canada.
These heaters are essential for enclosed spaces or areas with limited ventilation where air quality is crucial. By using a heat exchanger, they separate the combustion exhaust from the clean air being circulated, ensuring the safety of your crew and the integrity of your materials.
Featuring cutting-edge technology and rugged durability from trusted brands like Heatstar, Flagro, and Frost Fighter, our heaters deliver high performance safely and efficiently.
What is an Indirect Fired Heater?
An indirect-fired heater is a type of space heater that uses a heat exchanger to warm the air. The fuel (like diesel, propane, or natural gas) is burned in a sealed combustion chamber. The heat produced is transferred to the air blown across the outside of the chamber, but the exhaust fumes are vented separately.
This process ensures that only 100% clean, dry, breathable air is circulated into your space, making it the safest heating solution for indoor and poorly ventilated areas.
Direct vs. Indirect Fired Heater: What's the Difference?
- Direct Fired Heater: Burns fuel directly in the airstream being heated. It is highly efficient but releases combustion byproducts (like carbon monoxide and water vapor) into the space. Best for open, well-ventilated outdoor areas.
- Indirect Fired Heater: Keeps the flame and exhaust gases separate from the clean air it distributes. This makes it the only safe choice for enclosed spaces, occupied work sites, and applications where air quality is critical.
Why Choose Indirect Fired Heaters from Cleanflow?
Cleanflow is your trusted Canadian supplier for CSA-certified and job-site-ready heating solutions. We understand the demands of harsh weather and the need for reliable equipment.
- Safe for Indoor & Enclosed Spaces: A key difference when considering a direct vs indirect fired heater is safety. Our indirect models use a heat exchanger to keep combustion exhaust separate from the heated air, delivering 100% clean, breathable warmth. This makes them perfect for occupied areas, workshops, and event tents.
- Built for Tough Canadian Jobsites: Our heaters are constructed with rugged, heavy-duty materials, including stainless steel heat exchangers and durable frames, to withstand demanding industrial environments.
- Versatile Fuel Options: We offer a range of fuel types to match your operational needs, including indirect diesel heaters, propane, natural gas, and dual-fuel models for maximum flexibility on any site.
- High-Efficiency Performance: With powerful heat outputs up to 750,000 BTU/hr, our heaters are designed for large-scale applications. Many models, like the Flagro FVO-400RC, feature recirculation hoods to optimize fuel consumption and lower operating costs.
- Portable and Easy to Deploy: Designed for mobility, many of our heaters feature pneumatic wheels, forklift pockets, and lifting bails for easy transport and setup across your worksite.

How to Choose the Right Size Indirect Fired Heater
Sizing your heater correctly ensures efficiency and prevents unnecessary fuel costs. Use this quick guide to estimate the BTU/hr you need.
-
Calculate the Volume of Your Space:
Area (sq ft) × Ceiling Height (ft) = Volume (cubic ft)
-
Determine the Required Temperature Rise (ΔT):
Desired Indoor Temp (°F) – Coldest Outdoor Temp (°F) = ΔT
-
-
Estimate Your BTU Requirement:
BTU/hr ≈ Volume (ft³) × ΔT × Insulation Factor -
Insulation Factor:
0.13 (Well-insulated): Modern construction, few windows.
0.18 (Average insulation): Standard workshop or garage.
0.25 (Poorly insulated/Leaky): Barns, tents, or structures with many drafts.
-
Estimate Your BTU Requirement:
Example:
For a 2,500 sq ft workshop with 16 ft ceilings (40,000 ft³) and average insulation, needing a 50°F temperature rise:
40,000 ft³ × 50°F × 0.18 = 360,000 BTU/hr
In this case, a heater like the Flagro FVNP-400RC (390,000 BTU) would be an excellent choice.
