Welcome to our
Reznor Heating Products Page

Since 1991, in Western Canada, we have been installing and suppling Reznor heaters to our greenhouse clients. They are dependable, reliable, easy to maintain for greenhouse operations.

For highest efficiency ratings consider the power vent line and or separate combusion units.

Contact us today ..... we could just end up putting some of those hard earned $$$$ back into your pocket.



BACKGROUND

Reznor was founded in 1888 to manufacture the “Reznor” reflector heater, which used a luminous flame gas burner developed by George Reznor. This technological breakthrough was an immediate success and hastened the expansion of gas heating in residential and commercial applications. Technological development and innovation have been the hallmark of Reznor products through the years. The development of the forced air gas unit heater, the modular Thermocore® heat exchanger, and the high-efficiency, V3™ Series unit heaters have kept Reznor products at the forefront of technological advances in commercial and industrial gas heating. As a result of this pioneering role in the heating, makeup air, and ventilating equipment field, the products offered today are the most advanced in engineering design to satisfy a wide variety of applications.

FACILITIES

Reznor heaters were first manufactured and sold in Mercer, Pennsylvania (70 miles north of Pittsburgh) in 1888. Over the years, the company has grown and expanded. Today, with sales worldwide, Reznor products are being manufactured at facilities throughout North America and Europe.

  


PRODUCT SCOPE

Well-equipped engineering laboratories for both product development and testing can be found at many of the manufacturing sites. All domestic lab sites are agency approved. Reznor Products include a complete line of heating, makeup air and ventilating systems, using gas, oil, hot water/steam, or electric heat sources. Reznor heater catalogs are designed to aid the engineer, architect or contractor in specifying the correct equipment for all standard and special applications. Complete data is presented on unit heaters, duct furnaces, infrared heaters, makeup air systems, pre-engineered custom- designed systems, and evaporative cooling modules. Consult your local Reznor Sales Representative for further assistance in specifying Reznor Equipment for your specific application.


SERVICES

Product service requirements are handled through contractors and/or distributors, with backup from local representatives and factory-based service team. Replacement parts inventories for both warranty and non-warranty requirements are maintained at service centers throughout the country and at the manufacturing facilities.

Questions and Answers / Tips

What is Heating Efficiency ?

Heating efficiency is the ratio between output heating and input heating. The greater the number is the greater the efficiency. With todays high cost of energy ..... we ..... strongly ..... suggest the urge to buy on the purchase cost of the equipment. Usually the reason it is cheaper is that its less efficient. The less efficient ... the more $$$$$$ it will cost to operate.


What is Elevational Deration ?

The manufacturer listings are for applications from sea level to 2000 feet above seal level ( CSA ). For every 1000 feet in elevation thereafter you should consider an extra 4% deration in the equipment output. As an example : say your greenhouse loss is 325,000 BTU/Hr based on your design conditions. Your greenhouse is at 4500 feet above sea level. Well ...... take this into account or you will be short 10% ( 2.5 X 4% ) for your heating output. This is very very important to consider ..... we see this mistake occur time and time again. If you don’t ..... your heating shortage will end up to haunt you when you do in fact really need it. ( Your plants/crop will thank you very much ).

Stainless Steel Heat Exchangers ?

They are nice for sure .... but with the design of our Aluminized Steel exchangers, they are standing up very well in extremely abusive winter greenhouse operations in Western Canada ( this means - 40 deg. C conditions outdoors, for extended periods of time) . We have many ...... repeat ....many .... and we repeat again .....many .... units over 12 years old with the aluminized heat exchangers still in perfect operating shape. We believe the real reason why stainless steel has been impressed in the greenhouse industry is by those manufactures with welded steel tube and weld steel clam shell type designs. Our opinion if you are looking at saving quite a few purchase dollars consider using the aluminized heat exchangers. It’s the design of the heat exchanger not the materials.
