Applications

The HER series is perfect for spaces where gas isn’t practical or available. Its clean, all-electric operation makes it ideal for:

  • Warehouses and loading docks
  • Mechanical rooms and utility areas
  • Workshops, garages, and maintenance bays
  • Entryways, hallways, and stairwells
  • Commercial or institutional facilities pursuing decarbonization goals

Application Tip: Recommended for use in buildings with low ceilings and few obstructions, the HER is typically placed around the perimeter of the building, allowing the air stream from each heater to “wipe” the wall and produce a blanket of warm air along the building’s outside walls, where heat loss is greatest.
