Construction in Canada comes with unique challenges. For example, how do you ensure that construction dries out properly in rainy BC weather? Or safeguard against freezing temperatures impact on fresh concrete in Alberta?
And how do you address these problems in a way that’s smart for the planet? We know that climate change is driving the kinds of extreme weather issues that slow down construction – so how do we make sure our projects stay on track without further overheating our world?
Challenge accepted.
Our innovative, low footprint heating solutions will dry out your site in a fraction of the time, with less hassle, allowing you to accelerate your construction schedule.
Hydronic heaters are a technology that solves all three problems, keeping things dry, warm, and sustainable. These heaters use a water glycol solution to transfer heat (that’s the “hydro” part of the name) and they’re very efficient. Hydronic heating equipment can operate off propane, natural gas, diesel, or even tie into a district energy loop.
Now, you might be more familiar with direct fired heaters for construction drying. But antiquated direct fired heaters emit massive amounts of toxic combustion gases as well as moisture into your work site. Here’s the math: over a 24-hour period a 100,000 BTU direct fired propane heater introduces about 24 gallons of moisture, while the larger 200,000 BTU heater will add a whopping 48 gallons of moisture into the space you are trying to dry. So instead of drying your space, they’re actually increasing the moisture content in your space.
Not only are hydronic heaters cleaner, they’re better: because they’re easy to position, you can use them for complex construction sites that need a customized moisture control plan.

Our hydronic heaters and fan coils can deliver and distribute heat effectively through a building, creating an ideal drying environment for wood, drywall mud and mortar. Because the dry heat is evenly distributed, it protects sensitive millwork from temperature and humidity fluctuations. It provides an ideal climate to cure concrete and floor coatings, while reducing the chance of cracks or shrinkage. Your workers stay warm and dry, and your construction stays on track.
For other construction challenges we also offer Indirect Fired Forced Air units. These units keep combustion gases and moisture outdoors and separated from the clean, warm air drying your construction space. And for higher floors, we offer electric furnaces – they don’t require a fuel source or any venting, and they’re very efficient.
For all three solutions, our “roll in, plug in, turn on” approach makes for a time-efficient set-up. Our well-stocked warehouses and knowledgeable staff make sure your equipment is ready to roll, and problem-free. Plus, Cool Air’s technology is the sustainable choice: 70% of our fleet is refurbished equipment and our skilled team is tasked with making sure that our equipment is serviced after every single application. That attention to detail helps keep machines performing at their best for longer, and that keeps your project moving forward efficiently.
If you’ve got a complex construction heating or drying challenge, we’d love to help you. Give us a call at 1-855-253-4171 or email us at info@cool-air.com to find out more.
