for temporary heat in your construction project

Save money!

    • Eliminate weekend/off hour visits to the job site to switch fuel tanks − your gas supply is constant and dependable.

  

Save time!

    • Natural gas is a drier heat source. Cure concrete and adhesives and dry paint faster and more cost-effectively than other energy sources.
    • Allows quicker completion of interior work.
    • Keeps your project on schedule.

Work safely!

    • Avoid injuries − no heavy propane tanks or cylinders to lift.
    • No delivery trucks − no tanks to clutter the job site.
    • Meets ventilation requirements.
