Construction Heating

It saves money, time, resources and, best of all, it's easy.

Commercial Construction Heating

Natural gas is recognized and approved by all local code authorities as a cost effective and safe option for construction heating. With natural gas construction heaters, you can enjoy all the benefits of natural gas over labor-intensive propane tanks that are a hassle to handle, pose safety concerns, and generally cost much more to use than natural gas heating. The heaters come in low- and high-air volume models with a full range of temperatures to meet every heating need, from concrete curing to interior finishing.

"Natural gas saved us during the winter of '95-'96. It was one of the worst winters in history, but gas heaters kept interiors warm enough for all plumbing, electrical and acoustical work to progress on our addition at Washington International Airport."

Residential Home Construction Heating

Residential Home Construction Heating with natural gas reduces fuel costs and labor costs. You pay only for what you use and you don't need to store, move or monitor propane tanks. There is one simple connection, and then you can relax.

Residential natural gas heaters are adjustable from 50,000 Btu to 100,000 Btu, and durable enough to withstand years of wear and tear on construction sites.

How You Benefit

With natural gas you save time and effort by avoiding the headaches of scheduling propane deliveries and continually moving propane tanks back and forth, floor to floor, to heat your work site. No more lost time, manpower or money. Get natural gas heating for your commercial and/or residential construction sites today. Natural gas construction heating:

Flexible hosing goes anywhere on site from an underground line.

Here's How It Works

Washington Gas provides underground gas service and a meter at a convenient location at your job site. You or your subcontractor utilize flexible hoses or gas laterals or risers (either temporary or those to be used for the permanent gas loads) inside the building. The hoses connect to your portable heaters, for temporary heat wherever and whenever you need it. Because gas is always online--instantly available any time of day or night--no monitoring of your fuel supply is required. If you are renovating an old building that has an existing riser in place, you may be able to use the existing riser during construction. Therefore, call us before having the riser removed. If you are interested in initiating service, call Washington Gas as far in advance as possible, before you need heating. We will work with you to:

  • assure compliance with local codes
  • find a protected route for buried service piping
  • assist with the design of a gas distribution system within the building
  • install gas service
  • help direct you to manufacturers and distributors of portable heaters that run on natural gas.
