Consider Logistical Challenges
The average high temperature in February here in southeastern Wisconsin is 31˚ Fahrenheit.
That makes for some brutal conditions for people working at unheated construction or renovation sites. That cold is not only unsafe, it’s hard for your workers to be productive because the cold also impacts materials and projects. Here are some examples.
- Pipes could freeze and burst
- Paint, joint compound, drywall mud, cement and plaster will not dry or cure properly, leading to materials failing or poor results
- Stucco needs to be protected from freezing for 24 hours, or it will freeze before it is fully set, and will fail when it thaws and the frozen water in it melts
There is a solution to these problems: temporary construction heating services from Boehlke Bottled Gas!

Ventilation Is Essential
An important logistical issue of temporary heating is ventilation. When you’re using temporary heating indoors at a construction or renovation site, access to proper ventilation is essential. Discuss this with your temporary heating contractor.
One way you can make it work is by taking advantage of a drop ceiling and using a smokestack style ductwork from the temporary heating unit to the spot where it ventilates out of the building.
If the interior space you’re working in does not have a drop ceiling, we’ll help you come up with solutions.
Direct fire heaters, often referred to as torpedoes, are popular temporary heating equipment as they are the most affordable, can work to -30˚ Fahrenheit, and can be placed several feet away from workers and still keep them warm. They are also easily vented to the outdoors.
