AEROIL HEATERS GET THE HEAT OUT OF THE HEATER AND INTO THE AIR
Generating lots of BTUs in a Forced Air Heater is easy. But getting the BTUs distributed over a large area takes ingenious engineering design. All Aeroil heaters have large high velocity fans that move large volumes of air through the heater and circulates the warm air over a broad area. Size for size an Aeroil Heater will give more uniform distribution of heat and cover a wider area than any other forced air heater . . . and that makes Aeroil your best buy!
