Highlighted Features

A greenhouse with lush green plants, colorful hanging flowers, and a heating unit mounted on the wall.

Separated Combustion Design

The PTC/BTX draws 100% of its combustion air from outside—preventing contaminants, dust, and fumes from entering the burner. It’s the perfect solution for areas with negative pressure or airborne pollutants.

Durable, Service-Friendly Construction

A corrosion-resistant aluminized steel heat exchanger, rugged cabinet design, and easy-access service panels make the PTC a long-lasting, low-maintenance heating solution trusted by professionals.

Product Details & Specifications

Key Features
  • Ultra-High Efficiency: Up to 97% thermal efficiency—the most efficient gas-fired unit heater in North America.
  • Separated Combustion: drawing combustion air from outside to ensure that the unit will always have plenty of fresh, clean air for combustion while increasing the overall heating efficiency.
  • Condensing Heat Exchanger: Stainless-steel secondary exchanger extracts more usable heat from exhaust gases, reducing energy waste.
  • Reduced Carbon Footprint: Lower emissions and less fuel use support sustainability goals.
  • Energy Saver Controls: as the temperature increases, the gas is disabled, and stratified ceiling air is used to heat the space below. Once the ceiling air temperature decreases, the gas re-engages and heats the air.
  • Smart Combustion Control: Advanced design ensures consistent operation across varying conditions.
  • Contractor Convenience Package: Featuring a condensate pump convenience outlet, unit on/off switch, heater function status indicator lights, and external terminals for thermostat wiring.
  • Corrosion-Resistant Construction: Stainless steel and aluminized steel materials ensure long-lasting performance in humid or chemically exposed areas.
  • Quiet, Balanced Airflow: Designed for noise-sensitive environments such as schools or retail spaces.
  • Flexible Mounting Options: Ceiling or wall installation maximizes space.
  • Venting Flexibility: Can be vented as either a two-pipe or concentric vent system with 3″ and 4″ PVC.
  • BMS Integration Capability: Optional factory-installed Building Management Systems.
  • ETL Certification: ETL certification for residential(size 110 and smaller only), commercial, and industrial use in the US and Canada.
  • Proudly Designed, Engineered, and Assembled in the USA: Commitment to quality and craftsmanship in every unit.
