Install low-intensity LTU130 U-Tube heaters horizontally, suspended from ceiling, in automotive service areas. Ideal for melting snow and ice off vehicles entering facility, without negatively affecting indoor temperature. Also create an efficient and comfortable atmosphere for employees and anyone entering the shop from a cold climate. Select from natural-gas or propane versions, each of which generates up to 130,000 B.t.u.s an hr. The heaters distribute warmth from the bottom up, warming people, floors, and machines before heating the upper air. Can save up to 70% of energy costs over forced-air heaters, which radiate heat from the top of ceilings, downward.
