Products

1) What heaters do you have in-stock?

We have in-stock products for many standard sized heaters- IBC Tote Heaters, Drum Heaters, Gas Cylinder Heaters and many others. Some of our heaters can also be used for other applications, so getting a custom designed heater isn’t always needed. Give us a call to see if we have an in-stock product that can meet your need.

See the full list: Stock Heaters

2) How much more does a custom heater cost?

Changes in size, wattage/power and voltage have only small cost increases, usually less than 10%. But the benefit to getting a custom heater is that you know it will securely fit, and the process of getting your heater to be designed for your specific application couldn’t be easier.

3) Can anyone install your heaters?

Most of our heaters can be installed with minimal instruction and we offer an Installation Guide to make installing your heater even easier.

More complex installations can be performed with a Custom Installation Manual which we would provide or our staff can be hired to be on the job site if desired.

4) Are your products suitable for outdoor use?

Many of heaters are designed to “Set it and Forget it” and live outdoors during the winter months exposed to the elements. Just let us know your application and the environment the heater will be in and we will design your heater accordingly!

5) How do I know which heater I should use?

CHR Inc. has wide range of fabric style heating jackets and silicone heaters. We can assist you in selecting the proper heater by thinking the project through with you in terms of:

• What the item being heated is, it’s size and mass
• Whether the heater will be exposed to harsh weather or not
• If the heater needs to be removed often as part of normal operation
• The desired temperature of the item being heated

Delivery

1) How long does it take in-stock heaters to be shipped?

In stock heaters can usually ship the same day! We use UPS daily but can ship via DHL, FedEx or a common carrier truck depending on your requirements.

2) Does it take longer to make and ship custom heaters?

With over 50% of our business being custom designs, CHR Inc. designs and manufactures custom heating solutions fast. Usually heating jackets can be completed in a matter of days and silicone heaters in 10-14 days.

1) What’s the difference between drum and barrel heaters?

Both drums and barrels refer to cylindrical containers. When heating a barrel, make sure to find a heater that can securely fit the specific size of your container.

2) What’s the difference between bucket and pail heaters?

Both usually refer to the same object, but again make sure the sizing of the heater is correct before buying a heater.
