Power & Fuel Requirements

The heater requires propane and 120V electrical power to operate.

Propane tank is rented separately.

Generator is rented separately when electrical power is not available at the event location.

Please let us know if reliable electrical power is available near the tent when requesting your quote. Our team can help determine whether a generator should be added to your rental.

Propane Consumption

At maximum output, the Premier 170 can consume approximately 7.9 lbs. of propane per hour. Actual fuel consumption may vary depending on outdoor temperature, thermostat setting, tent configuration, wind conditions, and how frequently the heater cycles.

A properly sized propane supply is required for safe and reliable operation.

How Many Heaters Do I Need?

The number of heaters needed depends on several factors, including:

• Tent size
• Outdoor temperature
• Number and type of tent sidewalls
• Wind exposure
• Desired temperature inside the tent
• Event duration

For many events, one Premier 170 may provide sufficient heating for a medium-size enclosed tent, while larger tents or colder conditions may require multiple heaters.

Not sure what you need? Tell us your tent size, event date, location, and whether the tent will have sidewalls. We can recommend an appropriate heating setup.
