Why Choose Xtreme Heaters for Your Boat or RV?
Xtreme Heaters are meticulously engineered to provide unmatched freeze protection for both marine and RV environments. Whether you’re safeguarding your boat’s engine compartment or maintaining warmth in your RV, our heaters ensure reliable and efficient performance in even the harshest conditions. Built for both recreational vehicles and vessels, Xtreme Heaters are designed to keep you safe and comfortable, no matter where your adventures take you. With a focus on durability and precision, our heaters are trusted to perform when it matters most. Built so tough and reliable, they are also the choice for police, fire, rescue, and military boats. Here’s what sets our heaters apart:
Key Features of the Xtreme Heater:
True Forced Air Heating:
Our heaters use true forced air technology to ensure optimal air circulation and even heating throughout engine compartments or RV compartments. Unlike ‘radiator-style’ heaters that rely on natural convection, which can create cold spots, Xtreme Heaters distribute heat evenly, ensuring a consistent and precise temperature. We custom-build our heaters to maximize airflow across the heating element, which enhances heat transfer directly into the air. This design ensures that more heat reaches your space quickly and efficiently, making it ideal for maintaining the reliability of engines, protecting sensitive equipment, or ensuring comfort in living spaces during cold weather conditions.
Automatic Thermostat with Tight Tolerance:
Xtreme Heaters come equipped with a specially designed automatic thermostat, engineered exclusively for our heaters to ensure optimal performance. This thermostat activates at 40°F and deactivates at 55°F ±3°, offering the tightest tolerance in the industry for accurate temperature control. This precision helps protect your equipment and living space from freezing, ensuring consistent operation in varying conditions. Unlike many other heaters on the market, which have a looser tolerance of ±5°, our design offers superior temperature management. Additionally, the thermostat is fully potted and sealed, protecting it from exposure to harsh environmental elements such as gasoline, oil, saltwater, and moisture. This rugged design ensures reliable performance, even in the toughest marine or RV environments.. Lets you set it and forget it.
Failsafe, Self-Regulating Design:
Our heaters are built with a failsafe design that makes overheating impossible. The dynamic, self-regulating properties of the Positive Temperature Coefficient (PTC) heating technology ensure that the heater automatically adjusts its temperature, providing peace of mind in extreme environments. In contrast, other heaters lack this temperature-limiting feature, increasing the risk of overheating.Read more about how PTC works.
Energy-Efficient Performance:
Xtreme Heaters are designed with efficiency in mind, heating up quickly, circulating warm air effectively, and shutting off sooner. This reduced run-time not only ensures consistent climate control but also minimizes energy consumption—saving you money in the long run. Ideal for those looking for a powerful heater without the burden of high operating costs, whether in a boat’s engine compartment or an RV’s compartments.
Pre-Wired for Easy and Durable Installation:
Each Xtreme Heater comes with a 15-foot power cord that’s built to withstand tough environments. The cord is oil- and water-proof, ensuring reliable performance in both marine and RV settings. It features a 110V 3-prong plug with grounding for added safety and compatibility. The power cord is rated to 105°C (221°F), using heavy-duty 14 AWG wire for optimal current handling and durability. This design allows for a hassle-free installation, reducing the need for complex electrical work and ensuring safe and long-lasting connections.
Quick Release Bracket for Flexibility:
Our Quick Release Bracket is compatible with all Xtreme Heater models, enabling easy removal and reinstallation. This makes maintenance simple, whether you need to relocate the heater or perform seasonal adjustments in your RV or boat. [Learn more about the Quick Release Bracket here].
Built for Maximum Life:
Durability is a core value at Xtreme Heaters. We select each component with superior Mean Time Before Failure (MTBF) ratings to ensure that your heater can withstand the toughest marine and RV environments. Designed to endure saltwater exposure, harsh road conditions, and vibrations, our heaters are also rated for high humidity, extreme heat, and low temperatures. This robust construction ensures that they perform reliably, whether they’re keeping an engine compartment warm on a freezing morning or maintaining a consistent temperature in an RV during fluctuating weather conditions. Built to endure, our heaters are tough enough for the most demanding applications, making them a trusted choice for police, fire, rescue, and military boats.
