Precision Heater Control
The Proheat Air truck kit includes a digital Driver Control Panel (DCP) that makes set-up and operation of the heater quick and easy. The DCP features a large, backlit LCD screen that displays at-a-glance heater status, temperature, time, and power level.
A surface-mount design means it can be installed inside the cab wherever it’s most convenient. An intuitive five button design ensures drivers can easily program and control the heater to suit their needs.
Ultra-Quiet Air Heater with Advanced Driver Control Panel
Proheat Air is the new standard for heavy-duty truck air heaters, quietly delivering constant and reliable heat in cold weather environments.Available in 2 and 4 kW models, its high-efficiency design reduces overall vehicle emissions and engine wear by eliminating the need to idle the engine to heat the sleeper cab. Proheat Air saves fuel costs for fleets and operators while helping drivers comply with local idling restrictions. A digital remote panel provides comprehensive and precise control of Proheat Air from anywhere inside the truck cab.

Cut Operating Costs & Emissions
By installing Proheat Air, fleets and operators can save thousands of dollars each year by eliminating the need to idle the vehicle’s engine as a source of heat for driver comfort. Engine idling puts unnecessary hours on the engine, increasing engine wear and overall vehicle emissions. Prohibiting idling is also quickly becoming the focus of local and federal law makers, as well as a target for local law enforcement.
Proheat Air uses a fraction of the fuel a truck engine uses to idle while still generating a quiet, constant flow of heat that drivers can adjust as desired.
How many hours do your trucks idle for cab comfort heating in a typical year? Since Proheat Air burns 95% less fuel than a truck engine, trucks that idle unnecessarily for hundreds of hours will pay for a Proheat Air in a single winter season.
