Heat Star f105501 Forced Air Kerosene Heater 80000 Btu/h

Product Description

The HEAT STAR f105501 is a portable forced air kerosene heater rated at 80,000 BTU/h, built for temporary heat on construction sites, in garages, and in large uninsulated work spaces. Running on 115 volts at 10 amps, it delivers 240 CFM of heated airflow across areas up to 2,000 square feet. The unit features a fully enclosed high-output motor and large glove-friendly controls sized for cold-weather operation. Dual powder-coated tubular steel handles and pneumatic rubber tires make repositioning straightforward on uneven ground. An upper shell designed for stacking lets crews store or transport multiple units efficiently. This heater is installed and serviced by general contractors, mechanical trades, and facilities personnel who need reliable temporary heat during construction or cold-weather work.

The f105501 is suited for temporary heating in residential construction, commercial build-outs, warehouses, equipment yards, and large detached garages. It is not designed for permanent installation or use in occupied, sealed living spaces without adequate ventilation. The 6-gallon fuel tank supports extended run times between refills, reducing interruptions on active job sites. A high-limit safety switch and a photo CAD cell monitor operating conditions and shut the unit down automatically if unsafe conditions are detected, making it appropriate for unattended operation within approved jobsite protocols.

Installation Notes

This unit is a portable appliance — no permanent installation is required, but it must be positioned on a stable, level, non-combustible surface with adequate clearance from walls, materials, and flammables per the manufacturer instructions and applicable fire codes. Always ensure adequate fresh-air ventilation when operating any direct-fired kerosene heater in an enclosed space to prevent carbon monoxide buildup. Power down the unit and allow it to cool completely before refueling or moving it. Use only the fuel type specified by the manufacturer; substituting other fuels can damage the combustion system and void safety certifications.
