Diesel and Kerosene Heaters -- 32 Models
A diesel space heater burns liquid fuel inside a sealed combustion chamber to produce high-output heat. A pump meters fuel into the chamber, a glow plug ignites it, and a heat exchanger transfers the heat to clean air that a blower pushes into the space through a duct.
Because the combustion chamber and heat exchanger are sealed, no exhaust gas mixes with the air delivered indoors. Kerosene heaters, also known as paraffin heaters, are typically portable, unvented space heating devices. A circular wick draws kerosene from the tank by capillary action; once lit, the wick turns the fuel into a gas that burns and warms the air by convection. Most kerosene heaters produce 3.3 to 6.8 kilowatts.

Three Things That Make These Heaters Different
Why Choose a Diesel Forced-Air Heater?
A diesel forced-air heater is what contractors reach for when a building has no mains supply worth speaking of. The blower and igniter draw 1.4–2.8 A; everything else — up to 215,000 BTU/h of it — comes out of the tank.
Six reasons diesel wins on site
Where it honestly loses
Head to head
| Diesel forced-air | Electric fan heater | |
|---|---|---|
| Heat output | 30,000–215,000 BTU/h (9–63 kW) | Up to 1,500 W, about 5,120 BTU/h |
| Mains draw | 1.4–2.8 A — blower and igniter only | About 12.5 A at 120 V on full heat |
| Ventilation | Required — 3 sq ft per 100,000 BTU/h | None |
| Time to temperature | Immediate, forced air | Immediate, forced air |
| Area covered | 1,125–5,375 sq ft | Up to about 200 sq ft |
| Fuel storage | Diesel on site; #2 gels below 10°F | None |
| Cold and outdoor sites | Yes — sites, tents, with ducting | Needs an outlet within reach |
| Certification | CSA / ANSI; not rated for living space | UL / ETL; indoor rated |
So which one should you choose?
Choose a diesel forced-air heater if…
- The building has no usable mains supply, or only a lighting circuit
- You are heating a site, workshop, barn, marquee or tent rather than a room
- You need 10 kW and up from a single portable unit
- You can open a door or window and ventilate the space while it runs
Choose an electric fan heater if…
- The space is small enough that 1.5 kW really is enough
- The room is sealed and occupied, with no way to ventilate
- You want clean, dry, odourless heat with no fuel on site
- Nobody has to store, carry or order diesel
What that means for your order book
The split is predictable in every market we ship to. Diesel takes the sites that have no grid to speak of — construction, agriculture, temporary structures, cold storage — where the buyer is comparing BTU per dollar and will accept a vented, fuelled, attended appliance. Electric fan heaters take the indoor, plug-in, low-output end. Our diesel line covers 28 portable forced-air models with the CE / LVD / EMC / RoHS / ERP marks, and OEM colour, logo, voltage and packaging from 30 to 45 days. Tell us your market and we will suggest the mix.
Ventilation, fuel and safety figures follow the portable heater specifications published by Remington and Dyna-Glo and the DesaTech direct-fired heater manual, cross-checked against space heater safety guidance from the University of Alaska Fairbanks. Output, tank and consumption figures are indicative published ranges — confirm the specification of the exact model before quoting.
