Ever since Dayton entered the heating industry, the company has created a well-known and well-trusted brand used by people everywhere. The brand is also known as an innovator when it comes to heaters for larger areas, particularly those that are oil-fired and gas-fired. On the other hand, Dayton still offers heaters that provide the same kind of warmth for smaller areas with units like space heaters.

What Sets Dayton Apart from Other Brands?

Dayton features many different types of heaters for different uses:

Electric Heaters
Electric heaters are very popular heating options because they are much more inexpensive to purchase and much easier to maintain compared to other types of heaters. An electric heater, especially one from Dayton, does not emit any harmful toxins or pollutants into your air, either. Dayton's electric space heaters are all extremely effective when it comes to heating bedrooms or living rooms. The U37 convection space heater covers an area of 200 square feet! This unit is extremely lightweight and sturdy, a perfect addition to all homes. As convection heaters, Dayton's U37, U33, and NW9 circulate air throughout the room to provide heat, keeping the entire room feeling nice and toasty for long periods of time. The U31 electric space heater by Dayton relies on convection and radiant heating, which refers to the emission of infrared radiation that directly heats objects or people around the heating unit. This special heater allows you to choose to use the two heating methods separately or together! With the U31, you'll be able to keep your room feeling warm and comfortable in no time at all! Dayton also offers the oil-filled electric heater, the NX3. This unit features oil inside of the heater that is warmed, not burned. Because the oil is only warmed, no replacements are necessary. The NX3 provides a safe and efficient way of heating your room without harming the environment, as well!

For larger heating purposes, such as garages and small workshops, Dayton also offers more than just a few options. A unit heater like the D-F79 features heavy-duty heating that distributes air easily and quickly throughout the room. The Dayton D-F79 covers an impressive 17,000 BTUs of heating power - compared to a space heater's 5,000 BTUs, this unit can warm up garages in less time that you think! Dayton's garage heaters are also top-notch, high-quality units that can effectively warm up large areas. The most popular Dayton G73 garage heater can heat up to 500 square feet with its special features, such as its built-in thermostat and its 4 heat settings. The Dayton L4000 and L5600 garage heaters feature 13,650 BTUs and 14,335 BTUs, respectively, and can keep your garage or workshop at any temperature between 45 and 95 degrees Fahrenheit. These lightweight and portable garage heaters also offer permanently lubricated motors and built-in thermostats for quick, effective warmth.

Oil-Fired Heaters
Dayton offers many oil-fired heaters in its selection. An oil-fired heater relies on 1-K kerosene and uses no electricity at all! These units are perfect for heating up extremely large industrial areas. The E48, E49, E50, E51, and E52 oil-fired heaters all provide instant warmth and even feature easy to read fuel gauges and LED power/failure indicator lights for your convenience. These efficient heaters cover up to 45,000-210,000 BTUs of heat and can operate for an impressive 8-14 hours on one tank! Additionally, the E50, E51, and E52 all come with a heavy-duty wheeled chassis kit that provides easy mobility; you can move the units to the areas that need them the most.

Gas-Fired Heaters
Unlike oil-fired heaters, gas-fired heaters use propane to provide heat. Dayton's E46, E54, E55, E56, E57, and E58 are great for providing warmth to warehouses, construction sites, factories, and open-air workshops! With an efficient carrying handle, a gas-fire heater can be moved from one area to another with no hassle! These gas-fired heaters offer 50,000-150,000 BTUs of heat, which equals about 1,100-3,500 square feet of warmth. Similar to oil-fired heaters, gas-fired heaters can give off up to 8 hours of heat with just one tank! The TC25 and TC200VA liquid propane gas-fired heaters also feature 3 heat settings, flame safety systems, and matchless piezo ignitions, making the unit extremely safe to use every day! These two heaters cover 600 to 4,700 square feet, respectively, and keep your workshops warm at all times.

Safety Features

Every single Dayton product offers safety features to protect you, your loved ones, and your workers. All of the units have a tipover automatic safety feature that turns off the units if they fall over. Likewise, the heaters offer a feature that turns off the units if they accidentally overheat. In the case of overheating, units like the U31 and U33 have an alarm that tells you when it is unsafe to keep your heater on for any longer. The heaters than run on fuel also feature a "fuel shutoff" that turns the units off when the operation is getting too dangerous.
