The Benefits of Heating with Propane 

Propane has a much higher-octane rating than traditional gas, meaning that it comes with a much higher energy level than other kinds of fuel.

Propane heaters come in various types, such as portable indoor propane heaters, direct vent wall-mounted propane indoor heaters, forced air propane indoor heaters, and radiant indoor propane heaters. Canadian Off-Grid Depot exclusively deals with direct vent wall-mounted propane heaters. A direct vent wall heater includes a built-in thermostat to monitor your heat dispersion and offers safe, clean, and economical energy.

Our Martin brand propane wall heaters are aesthetically pleasing and come in 8,000, 11,000, and 20,000 BTUs, including a standing pilot, the standard ignition device for most propane-burning heating systems. A pilot is a continuously burning flame responsible for starting the burners that generate heat for the home or cabin.

Martin heaters are known for their reliability, and propane heaters work without electricity, so you can still heat your home during a power outage. With the larger models, a glass-ceramic window offers a beautiful fireplace display on your wall without installing an expensive wood stove and chimney.

Martin heaters are certified at over 80% efficiency, which is higher than most direct vent propane heaters, and they are incredibly safe to use in your home. You’ll also reduce your carbon footprint.
