Temporary Heat Solutions for Your Job Sites
The weather can really wreak havoc when your business is working on a construction or renovation project.
In fact, cold weather can create all kinds of problems at a job site.
- Solvents and water in paint can freeze and make drying and curing time longer. Some paints may become too thick to apply.
- Plaster can freeze, weakening to the point where it may come off the surface at the slightest touch.
- Stucco that freezes within the first 48 hours of application will be compromised, because the excess water in it will expand when it freezes, which can negatively affect its durability and strength.
- Ice crystals can weaken both concrete and bricks.
- If there’s existing plumbing at a renovation site, cold temperatures can cause pipes to freeze and burst.
- Joint compound and spackle don’t adhere properly to drywall.
- Equipment may not run properly.
- Workers are vulnerable to hypothermia and frostbite. And ice on surfaces may cause slips and falls.
- Labor costs are driven up by the affects that cold weather can have on your materials and because of the extra time needed to finish jobs.

We’re Your Local Temporary Heating Professionals
ProGas is your one-stop shop for all things related to temporary heating. In addition to the temporary heaters themselves, we have the various hoses, carts and manifolds to go with them. We also offer temporary air conditioners, space heaters, dehumidifiers and fans. A ground-thaw unit can help you cure concrete, thaw the ground for digging and excavating, prevent frost from forming on the ground and other surfaces, and warm the air around it for outdoor work.
You also get a full hookup and leak check. The trained professionals at ProGas are committed to safety. Our portable tanks and cylinders all feature a protective construction collar as well as a bottom ring, which is designed to provide better stability when the container is in service, or in storage awaiting use. All of our propane cylinders and tanks conform to the liquid petroleum gas safety codes from the National Fire Protection Association (also known as NFPA 58) and to regulations from the Occupational Safety and Health Administration.
