That's over 65.6% efficiency, with a power output of 4.58 kW. Impressive stats for a heater in this size and price range. But it's not just about the numbers… This heater was built by a company with 50+ years in the diesel heater industry, supplying OEMs like Volvo, Caterpillar JV partners, and Yutong buses. Now, they're bringing that industrial-grade tech to the aftermarket-with features like: • ✅ Brushless motor rated for 5,000+ hours • ✅ Sealed ECU & automatic altitude adjustment up to 16,000 ft • ✅ Built-in WiFi + mobile app • ✅ Integrated intake & exhaust silencers • ✅ U.S.-based support & service network 🛠️ Want to buy or ask questions?
