Diesel Heaters

If we had to list the reasons why you need a diesel heater, you probably wouldn’t see the end of the page. So, we’ll keep this brief. You need one because they’re effective.

Operating with diesel fuel, these heaters light up quickly, bringing you a wave of warmth that borders on instantaneous: like a warm hug on a winter evening.

They’re popular in even the most unexpected settings, such as boats, recreational vehicles and high altitude environments.

How they work: space heaters burn diesel to create heat, much like how a heater would work in a diesel vehicle. They work indoors and outdoors – although you should always check manuals prior to use as some may only be used outside.

Diesel Heaters in the UK

So, you’re based in the UK. You obviously already know why you need a diesel parking heater with LCD switch for your workplace… it’s pretty cold out, huh?

Keep your staff, customers and YOU happy with our diesel heaters, featuring a tremendous array of advantages.

  • Use off-the-grid: Working in a remote location? These heaters light up independently from an electrical supply, making them ideal.
  • Portable: If you’re not based in one location, a diesel heater is a good option as it can be moved easily to where it’s needed.
  • Low emissions: A diesel truck heater provides a steady output with minimal fuel consumption.

Types of Diesel Heaters

Infrared diesel heater

Picture yourself in a campervan by one of these bad boys. The idea fills us with so much warmth – almost like a Christmas card! Feel the joy of cosy with these magnificent heaters, warming up people and objects rather than the surrounding air for efficient heating.

Kerosene diesel heater

These crafty appliances are for those with a fast heating and kerosene fuel preference. Be sure to use them in well-ventilated areas and take care by following your heater’s manual to avoid injury. With the right steps taken, you’ll feel as warm as a fresh batch of cookies.

Space warmer

You’ll need fuel to provide heat when using one of these air heaters. Perfect for your outdoor spaces such as back gardens, or indoor spaces like garages, these really are an all-rounder. They work by blowing warm air directly into the room or space for unbeatable heat.

Diesel heater with wheels

Finally, we have the great portability fuel heater! Take a 12V diesel heater, for example, from one room to the next with absolute ease, thanks to its moveable wheels. You’ll have so much fun manoeuvring it and you’ll feel warm, too. Not much to dislike about these machines!

Diesel air heater parking heater

A heater for car trucks is a device designed to provide warmth inside the vehicle without needing to run the engine, making it ideal for long-haul drivers, off-grid camping, or cold-weather travel. It burns diesel fuel to heat the air, ensuring the cabin stays warm.

Popular brands

SIP is a big name, as is Webasto and Eberspacher. The Eberspacher Easy Start Pro 7 day timer machine comes up on many searches and has rave reviews. That is because Eberspacher heaters are found in professional milieus such as a warehouse.

Power types

It’s also noteworthy to consider the kilowatts diesel heaters operate with. Bigger spaces will need a higher heat output than smaller ones.

Some examples:

  • 12V 5kW diesel heater: one diesel heater to ensure every van is nice and snug, is this product, giving ample heating in vehicles and small living spaces.
  • 8kW diesel heater: A high capacity for motorhomes, a Webasto diesel heater can raise the temperature in minutes.
  • 5kW or 2kW diesel heater: Low wattage is ideal for smaller spaces like car trucks motor-home boat heating or a tiny house.

Finding Your Perfect Diesel Heater

Okay, so there’s no such thing as perfect. But there is an all-in-one diesel heater that suits you and your requirements best.

For instance, a £1k industrial heater with an LCD display remote control might suit certain work sites, but not the household. Plus, you probably want to spend less money if it’s for the home since it’s just you and the family (or you and your friends, roommates, partner, pets, etc.)

So, we’ll rephrase that heading. Let’s find the perfect diesel heater FOR YOU.

Here are a few ways how:

  1. Browse the Diesel Heaters range on this web page. Filter by brand, price, type and more.
  2. Call or message our Customer Service team for a product recommendation. We’re happy to give you options.
  3. Check out our weekly deals every 7 days. You might just find a diesel heater at a better price!
  4. Check Trustpilot reviews – we’re rated highly! You can find individual reviews on our product listing pages.

What’s more, you’ll need to decipher where you will keep the heater. You need the right size for storage, and enough air to ventilate the harmful fumes. It cannot be operated in an enclosed space such as a caravan without the correct Chinese diesel heater installation.

Some common places you might find a diesel heater are:

  • Campervans: If you’re all about that van life, fit an Eberspacher Airtronic D4 121V under a seat, bed, or in a storage compartment. Parking heaters connect to the van’s fuel tank and exhaust system that vents outside.
  • Motorhomes: They offer the perfect temperature anywhere on holiday. Follow the manufacturer’s guidelines for proper installation, avoiding leaks or improper ventilation.
  • RV trailer (Recreational Vehicle): Installed by a professional, you can safely heat a car RV with an Espar heater without dangerous fumes leaking into the vehicle. Ensure correct fuel line setup by asking for an inspection.
  • Truck boat: A boat is a confined space, but when adequately aired, a diesel heater is perfectly safe to use. Be sure to install a carbon monoxide detector just in case though, as gas is odourless.

FAQ about Diesel Heaters

There is more to a diesel air heater than a fuel tank and air outlet. We’re asked a lot of questions about their functionality and suitability, so we thought we’d make your life a bit easier with our most common ones and answer them for you.

Is a diesel heater safe for indoors?

Generally speaking, these heaters are safe to use if operated responsibly. That means providing ventilation and following the instructions to switch it on and off.

This is because they do not produce so much carbon monoxide compared to gas engines. However, it is imperative that you install your diesel heater properly to remove hazards and check that individual item’s manual whether it can be used inside.

If you don’t want to chance it, electric heaters are a good alternative: of which our range is vast.

Do diesel heaters use a lot of electricity?

Not at all! The clue is in the name: these heaters use diesel fuel for heat, not electricity. But they do require some electricity to operate, i.e. the fuel pump or control system, or diesel heater remote control.

The amount used depends on the size of the appliance. However, diesel is still the main energy source, so no matter what, you really won’t be using much electricity or paying much in energy bills. Just fill the 5L fuel tank, for instance, and get warm.

Can you leave a diesel heater on overnight?

You can leave it on 24/7 but consider the risks in doing so.

  • Carbon monoxide poisoning: Open windows or turn on 2 air vents to ventilate the area, as exposure to carbon monoxide can be fatal.
  • Reduced oxygen levels: Gas heaters in an enclosed space can lead to a dangerous decline in oxygen levels.
  • Fire hazards: When you are asleep, a 5kW diesel air heater will be unattended, which can cause a risk of fire breaking out.
  • Battery lifespan: If you’re running a car, the battery could drain faster and last for a shorter period if the heating is switched on all night.

To stay completely safe, just switch off the heater at night or use a timer, e.g. if you’re sleeping in a camper van. Most manuals will advise you that heaters require supervision while in operation, so please follow the instructions given. A good duvet should keep you warm enough, or a thick sleeping bag. A night heater should be a last resort only in extremely cold temperatures.

Do diesel heaters let off carbon monoxide?

Yes, but the level of toxicity depends on whether a space is properly ventilated, as air diminishes the risk. So, if outdoors, you can easily keep carbon monoxide emitting from a 5kW 12V diesel air heater at bay. But if indoors, it is a lot harder to control, so a good air vent is necessary.

Remember: failure to fully ventilate puts you and others at risk so do take proper precautions before operating your heater.

Is diesel heater cheap to run?

They are incredibly cheap to run because diesel fuel costs less than electricity for a fan heater. For example, in the UK in 2024, 1kW of heating will cost you about 5-6p.

But they do require someone with experience to install, so can cost you a bit to get going. You will save big in the long run, though!

How much power does a 5kW diesel heater use?

A 5kW diesel heater will use approximately 100-150W of power during start up and 10-30W while running.

Most of the energy will come from the diesel itself, so electricity consumption is minimal. This makes it an ideal choice for money-saving. You may find an affiliate link online for a good product recommendation.

Is diesel heating cheaper than electric?

They are! Diesel heaters are known to be cost-efficient.

Electric heating is more expensive due to energy rates being higher per unit of energy than diesel fuel, especially in off-grid or vehicle-based situations.

That’s why diesel heaters keep winning: they do the job and do it economically.

Are diesel heaters noisy?

Not if you buy the right product. All installed diesel heaters will produce some noise, but some are quieter than others.

The main sources of noise come from the fuel pump, the fan and the exhaust pipe. Modern diesel heaters come specifically designed to reduce the noise levels coming from these areas, so should not cause a problem when installed correctly.

However, older models may be a bit more problematic as the technology is not up to date and might require costly replacement parts.

Opt for a recent design with lower decibels and noise-reducing features such as insulated exhausts and/or quieter fuel pumps if you’re noise-sensitive.
