Electric Heating Solutions
Electric heaters are based on the same concept as the common toaster oven. Electricity is transferred into heat and emitted into the surrounding areas. In certain situations, such as environments exposed to the elements or locations that lack propane or natural gas, necessity requires the use of electric heaters.
When confronting these circumstances, our sales engineers often recommend electric heaters from Fostoria, the leading manufacturer of electric heaters. These types of heaters are not only compact but produce an instant source of heat both cleanly and efficiently. Call us today so we can solve your heating needs with the right Fostoria electric heater.

Mul-T-Mount Electric Infrared Heater
Mul-T-Mount heaters are UL Listed for suspended, totally exposed (outdoor) and high bay (indoor) applications and are ideal for exterior snow and ice control applications. Mul-T-Mount infrared heaters come in two or three element units.
The two element units are available in an aluminized steel or stainless steel housing. The three element units are of stainless steel construction only. The three element units give a 50 percent higher wattage density for a given reflector pattern. These heaters provide a balanced 3-phase when wiring into a 3-phase system.
Reflector Patterns:
- 30 degree symmetric
- 30 degree asymmetric
- 60 degree symmetric
- 60 degree asymmetric
- 90 degree symmetric

Heat Wave (Salamander)
This electric indoor heater eliminates the hassles of fuel-fired heaters. It requires no fuel. Produces no flames. Needs no late night monitoring, and does not require regular maintenance.
Its operation is simple. If your indoor temperature is 10 degrees....you could use a 15KW, 240V model to heat up to 12,800 cubic feet of insulated new construction. Normally, this would produce a 60 degree temperature rise in about 2 hours. Once the desired temperature is reached, the thermostat will cycle the heater on and off to hold the desired comfort level.
To achieve this, the Heat Wave's 800 CFM fan recirculates the air in your confined space through its housing, warming the air more and more each time it's drawn through the heater. As each cubic foot of air is heated and re-heated, it brings the overall temperature of the air in your work area up to the desired level.
