Event Heating FAQs

What type of heater is best for my event?

It depends on your setup. For enclosed tents, tent heaters provide the most consistent, adjustable heat. For open-air or semi-enclosed spaces, patio heaters, pyramid heaters, and fire pits are great options for localized warmth and ambiance.

Are tent heaters safe for guests inside a tent?

Yes. Our tent heaters are specifically designed and approved for tents. Each unit includes built-in safety features like automatic shut-offs, high-limit switches, and air-flow sensors to ensure reliable, safe operation.

Do I need sidewalls to keep the tent warm?

Yes. Sidewalls help trap the warm air and make heating more efficient. For example, heating a 40′ x 60′ tent to 30°F above outdoor temperatures requires about 80,000 BTUs and full sidewalls to maintain comfort.

How do you determine how much heat my tent needs?

We calculate your heating requirements based on square footage, ceiling height, and temperature goals. For instance, a 40′ × 60′ tent would typically need around 80,000 BTUs. Depending on your layout, that could mean one large heater or two smaller units. Our team handles the entire calculation and installation to ensure even warmth throughout the space.

What type of power is needed to run a tent heater?

Tent heaters require their own dedicated power source to operate safely and efficiently. Each heater runs on a standard electrical connection for the fan and ignition system, but it’s important that this outlet is not shared with other equipment (like lighting, catering, or sound).
