Air Diesel Heaters

Air diesel heaters supply warm air via ducts and vents throughout the boat. These are great for small vessels where fitting a stove would be impractical. Air heaters also work well as a secondary system to take the edge off chilly spring and autumn times when lighting a stove would bring too much heat.

Take a look at Planar Diesel Air Heaters or Webasto Diesel Air Heaters for an example of this kind of heater.

Water Diesel Heaters

Water diesel heaters can supply a central heating system with radiators and hot water storage on their own, or as an addition to engine heated calorifiers to supply hot water. These are also great for day boat and boats used only during warmer seasons, where a permanent heat source isn’t needed.

Take a look at our page on Planar Diesel Water Heaters  and  Webasto Diesel Heaters for more information.

Is a Diesel Heater Right for Me?

Generally, these heaters are designed to be used for short periods of time, perhaps a few hours in the morning and a few hours in the evening. The exact time will depend on your model, our engineers will be able to guide you. These heaters offer fantastic convenience when used correctly. They benefit from professional installation and servicing as they are complex pieces of equipment. You should factor in the cost of this when budgeting for your marine heating system.

Marine diesel heaters suit leisure boats used in spring and autumn. They can be used on residential boats too. We generally recommend them as a backup heat source to, for example, a solid fuel stove as these take a while to get up to temperature and can be excessively warm for spring and autumn days.
