Keep your workers warm this season

Let’s face it – no one wants to be cold and uncomfortable while they are working. That goes for construction workers out on a job site just as much as it goes for anybody. Instead, these job sites and workers need something that is going to provide temperature control and keep the environment comfortable no matter what hour of the day work is being done. This is where temporary heating comes into play!

The importance of temporary heating

As we mentioned above, temporary heating should be a part of the conversation when warmth needs to be added to a job site such as a construction zone. This is particularly important here in New Mexico and Arizona (and other areas) where temperatures drastically decrease during the winter.

However, workers feeling cold and being uncomfortable aren’t the only things that happen if you don’t have temporary heating during the winter. You run the risk of:

• Working conditions becoming unsafe and a hazard for your crew
• Ice crystals forming in materials that are being stored onsite
• Pipes freezing over and potentially bursting
• Cracking, warping and inefficient adhering for cement, paint, joint compound, stucco and other building materials
• Your equipment not being able to start as a result of it getting too cold

Using propane to fuel your temporary heating system

If you are in need of a temporary heating system for a job site, propane is a great fuel to use to power these systems. Here are a few reasons why:

• As a fuel, propane happens to generate a large amount of heat. A single gallon of propane can actually produce 91,452 British Thermal Units (BTUs) of heat.
• Propane-powered temporary heaters work without electricity, which means you can count on them providing heat all throughout a blackout.
• The propane-powered temporary heaters that are made today are manufactured with advanced technology such as modulating burner controls and remote space thermostats, all of which add to their efficiency.
• Propane happens to be clean burning, considered green and is non-toxic. There is zero methane gas in the fuel and it produces hardly any particulate matter. When compared to other fuel sources, you will find that propane emits considerably less carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxide and sulfur oxide. This makes it a safe fuel choice for construction workers who are working at an indoor worksite and in need of a temporary heat source.
