Smarter heating starts here

In our decades of service in the oil patch, we have been keeping people and equipment safe from the cold. Solving difficult heating problems and using technology to create better solutions has been our specialty.

So, when a supervisor in the energy industry asked us for a better alternative for his complicated and costly heating challenge, we stepped up to the challenge and went beyond.

As a result, we created the cube heater—a powerful, compact, rugged heater built especially for Canada’s extreme cold. The cube heater has proven its value, from extreme remote locations to the workshop down the street.

Today Desert Air Rentals has a line-up of indirect-fired air heaters to meet any requirement. We also rent industrial dehumidifiers and provide accessories and consumables related to heaters.

We are a one-stop shop for the coatings, sandblasting, and construction industries—wherever warmth, dryness, and comfort are needed.

Our shop is located outside Edmonton in Nisku, Alberta, Canada. Our services and equipment are used by clients around the world.
