Portable Heaters

For emergency heating in an office at work or for use at home should your central heating boiler breakdown, a portable heater could be the answer to providing temporary heating.

There are several different types of portable heaters you could consider with perhaps a mobile calor gas type cabinet heater at the top of the list.

One of these pieces of equipment are economical to use running off affordable butane bottled cylinder gas.

As the gas is compressed (at a low pressure) it allows the heater to run for a considerable time before a new refill is needed.

Portable cabinet heaters use butane gas as opposed to propane. This is because the unit is more likely to be sited indoors for domestic extra heating as opposed for industrial applications such as for providing heat in a warehouse or factory type environment.

There are numerous different brands of portable gas cabinet heaters on the market to buy with popular ones being produced by Calor, Continental, Elite, Bullfinch, Delonghi, and Superser.

There are also a multitude of other non branded ones that are usually sold at a lower price point due to them being manufactured in the far eastern countries such as taiwan and china.

All mobile cabinet heaters have several heat settings to allow you achieve the required temperature for the area you need heating. This is usually by way of a selector knob, selector button, or switch type arrangement.     

The cylinder of gas is fitted to the unit by way of a clip on gas regulator valve. This is attached to a pipe on the heater itself and regulates the gas flow to the burner unit inside the heater.

For easy movement and positioning all portable cabinet heaters have some form of castors or wheels fitted. All also have a retaining bracket on the rear to secure the bottle of butane gas inside.
