Frequently Asked Questions About IDF Heater Hire

What is an IDF heater and how does it work?
  • An IDF (Indirect Diesel-Fired) heater produces clean, fume-free warm air by heating air via a sealed heat exchanger. Exhaust gases are discharged externally, while only clean, dry air is ducted into the building — making IDF heaters suitable for occupied spaces.

  • IDF heaters are commonly used for heating warehouses, factories, construction sites, marquees, industrial units, aircraft hangars, and temporary buildings where safe, clean heating is required for people, equipment or processes.

Yes. Because combustion gases are fully separated and vented outside, IDF heaters deliver clean, dry air into the space. This makes them suitable for enclosed or occupied environments when installed correctly with ducting.

Ideal Heat Solutions supplies IDF heaters ranging from 47kW to 375kW, allowing us to heat everything from small commercial spaces to large industrial or event environments. Multiple units can be combined for higher heat demands.

Yes. IDF heaters are typically installed externally and connected to the heated space using flexible ducting. This allows warm air to be delivered exactly where it’s needed while keeping the heater safely positioned outside.

Yes. Indirect heaters are ideal for drying applications such as screed drying, paint curing, plaster drying and moisture control, as they deliver dry heat without adding moisture or fumes to the environment.

IDF heaters typically run on diesel or HVO fuel. HVO offers a lower-carbon alternative, making indirect heater hire suitable for sites with sustainability or emissions targets.

We supply IDF heater hire across London, Kent, Essex, Surrey, Sussex and the South East, as well as nationwide. Our team provides full delivery, setup support and technical guidance for commercial and industrial sites across the UK.
