diesel heaters

Diesel heater, diesel furnace, Chinese heater and boat heater are terms often used for compact diesel-powered heating solutions. Here, you will find both 12 V and 24 V models for boats, as well as solutions also used in campers, caravans, vans, and workshops. The range includes air heaters, water-based diesel heaters, toolbox/all-in-one models, and installation parts.

Choose a diesel heater in under a minute

You don't need to know all the models. Start with the three things that determine your choice: how much needs to be heated, whether you want a fixed installation or a toolbox, and whether the system is 12 or 24 V.
