Frequently Asked Questions
HOW DOES IT WORK?
The main unit consists of a boiler which heats a glycol/water mixture to temperatures exceeding 175F (80C). This heated liquid is then circulated through loops of hose which transfers the heat to whatever surface it is being applied to. The circulation begins at the unit header and ends at the footer where the liquid is reheated and then re-circulated. The vapour free space heaters are connected to these loops to provide mass amounts of heated air. For more information contact us at 1-780-876-9575
In the past when I used open flame propane heaters we had a big problem with moisture, is this better with the CERTEK unit and Hot Oranges?
Yes. Because with CERTEK the actual heating unit sits outside the building we do not add moisture to the building, we actually lower the moisture content in the building. In short; "we are drying the air ". By doing so the drying process for drywall will greatly decrease, also because of lower moisture it will not be damaging to bearings, motors etc present in the heated building.
Why use Certek when we have used open flame propane heaters in the past?
By using CERTEK you will have much lower fuel cost and lower insurance rates because of safety. You will have no fumes in the building to harm anybody working in the building. Besides all this, more and more provinces and states are coming with legislation that prohibits the use of open flame heaters in the construction and the oil and gas industry.
I need heat at a remote area; can CERTEK help me out in that?
CERTEK specializes in remote heating. Our units can operate on diesel, propane or natural gas. We can provide a generator and fuel tanks, set it all up for you and even monitor the site.
When using the CERTEK Frost Off , how long does it take to take frost out of the ground?
Frost Off is the most efficient way to take frost out of the ground. The time it takes to remove frost out of the ground is dependant on many things; soil type, compaction, moisture content in soil, outside temperature, etc.
