Is a diesel heater right for my boat?
Diesel boat heaters are suitable for installation on almost every boat. Diesel air heaters warm the cabin up quickly and their ducting can be hidden behind wall panels, bulkheads and cupboards. They are relatively uncomplicated and, when serviced correctly, can be a very reliable boat heating option. Diesel Air Heaters also have a better fuel economy than many other marine heating appliances. Their downside is that they do need a reliable electricity supply. You will need at least two leisure batteries and a reliable means of charging them.
Diesel-liquid boat heaters have many of the same advantages, but the heat distribution system is a little more complicated. Most of them supply a central heating system with radiators. This is more complicated and time-consuming to install and maintain. Their advantage, compared to air heaters, is that they can heat domestic hot water via a calorifier. Both diesel heater types require proper annual maintenance to keep them running reliably. Most boat owners find that this is beyond their expertise and need a trained engineer to do this for them. This is an annual cost that should be kept in mind when you decide whether a diesel boat heater is the right choice for you.
