Diesel heaters from 425,000 to 1.2 million BTU/hr, each on its own trailer with its own engine and fuel, for hoarding, plant maintenance, cold yards and drying out across the Capital Region. Loaded in Red Deer and trucked north.
Edmonton's cold season is long, and plenty of work is scheduled straight through it. Most requests for heat around the city fall into one of these four.
Warehouses and shops rising in Acheson and the west-end parks keep framing and pouring through the winter under tarps. A heater on thermostat control holds the enclosure through a cold night, with no burner anywhere near the forms.
Construction generator rental →Around Fort Saskatchewan, Redwater and the Strathcona refinery sites, operators often keep open flame away from the unit being worked on. A heater with no burner is frequently the one the permit desk will consider, but the plant's own rules decide, so ask them first.
Oilfield production power →Iron that sat outside all night in a Nisku laydown yard is slow to turn over at seven in the morning. Warm air on the engines, hydraulics and gearboxes before the shift starts gets trucks and loaders out the gate sooner.
Generator rentals in Edmonton →After a burst line in a cold snap, or before drywall and flooring go into a new building, warm dry air has to move through rooms still full of materials. Doing it without a flame in the building is the reason to choose this kind of heater.
Construction site power →Three Therm Dynamics units, rental only, smallest first. The list is read from live inventory, so a heater already out on a job will not show here. Open a card for its full specification.
How flameless heat compares with direct- and indirect-fired units, and how each size is chosen, is on the main flameless heater rentals page. The longer safety case is in why flameless heaters are safer.
There is no Edmonton depot. A heater for a Capital Region site leaves the Red Deer yard on its trailer with the engine, the heater, the controls and its fuel tank aboard, and is unhitched where the heat is wanted.
Because it brings its own engine, it takes nothing from the site's panel or generator. A thermostat holds the enclosure at the set temperature overnight, and the unit shuts itself down if something goes out of range, with an overspeed air-intake shutoff on the engine as a backstop.
If the site needs power as well as heat, put both on one enquiry: a generator for the Edmonton site and its distribution panels can ride north on the same quote. Field service answers 24/7 at (403) 887-4567.
| The space | Length, width and height of the enclosure or building, so the volume can be worked out rather than guessed from the floor plan. |
| The temperature | What the space has to hold and for how long. For a pour, that number usually comes from the concrete specification. |
| The hoarding | How the enclosure is built: sealed poly, loose tarps or a building with doors that open all day. Leaks decide how much heat it takes. |
| Site rules | Any limits on open flame, hot work or equipment at the gate, and the paperwork the site wants before a trailer comes in. |
| Fuel plan | Who keeps the heater topped up once its own tank runs down: the site's fuel supplier, or a rental tank alongside it. |
| Dates | When heat is needed, how long the job is expected to run into the cold, and when the trailer can come back south. |
Running a long winter job? A rental fuel tank beside the heater stretches the time between top-ups.
Edmonton-area heater requests most often come from these communities. A site that is not listed is quoted the same way: where it is, what needs heating and for how long.
No. NexSource Power has one yard, in Red Deer, roughly 150 km south of Edmonton on the QE2. Each heater is checked and loaded there and trucked north, and the delivery is included in the written quote.
The TD425 (425,000 BTU/hr), TD625 (625,000 BTU/hr) and TD1200 (1,200,000 BTU/hr) are matched to the enclosure, the temperature it must hold and how well it is sealed. A large or leaky space may take two units instead of one. Send those details and the sizing advice costs nothing.
Often, because many plant rules are written around open flame and these heaters have no burner. No hazardous-location rating is published for them, though, so the operator's safety and permit people make the call. Ask them before the quote is final, and tell us what they need to see at the gate.
No. Each unit has its own diesel engine and fuel on the trailer: 84 gal on the TD425, 200 gal on the TD625 and 210 gal on the TD1200. If the site also needs a generator for lights and tools, it is sized for those loads alone.
Plan it before delivery. The onboard tank is a starting supply, not the whole winter. Some sites have a fuel supplier topping up equipment already; others add a rental fuel tank beside the heater. Say which when you ask for the quote.
Each job is quoted on its own. The heater size, the rental length, the trip from Red Deer and anything else going north on the same truck all change the number, so there is no published price list. You get the figure in writing.
Tell us the space, the temperature it has to hold, the site's rules and when the heat is needed. You get one figure in writing for the heater, the trip from Red Deer and anything else going north with it.
