Professional Bed Bug Heat Treatment Equipment

The first decision that you face is the type of heat source your system will use. The choice is broadly between fuel-based systems which burn propane or diesel fuel to directly produce heat, or electrical systems which use generators or building power to convert electricity into heat. Generally speaking, fuel-based systems offer more power in terms of BTUs than electrical systems, which translates into quicker heatup when the system is turned on. The downside of that power is that it not infrequently damages property, is often difficult to control and distribute heat evenly, is overkill for small treatments like dorms or hotels, and always requires complicated, time-consuming setup and breakdown, which diminishes or eliminates the advantage of quick heatup. Electrical heat systems are typically less powerful in terms of BTUs, which means they heat up more slowly; but that slower heatup is offset by quicker, simpler setup and breakdown, and that operation is more reliably controlled, which prevents property damage and better distributes heat for more effective treatment.
