Sourcing Ground Thaw Heaters that Work at Any Temperature in Alberta
When managing an industrial project in Alberta, you must carefully plan your operations and source quality equipment to ensure your operations continue. The extreme cold temperatures the winter months bring mean you need on-site industrial heaters and ground thaw heaters to dig, lay pipe, cure cement, and more. While Alberta winter temperatures can fluctuate, depending on the year, you can pretty much count on below-zero averages between October and April.
Remote area industrial projects need quality equipment on site and reliable service. Machine malfunctions due to the temperatures lead to delays across the project timeline. Cahill Heating Rentals’ efficient and powerful industrial heaters help keep every moving part on your job site operating in extreme temperatures, including your crew.

Why Consistent Ground Thaw Heat Is Essential
Whether drilling a well, excavating a foundation, or digging a trench, frozen ground can impede your operations. It also makes the surrounding area unstable, especially in seasons with a freeze-thaw cycle. Having a steady flow of ground thaw heat keeps your crew working on safe terrain.
Avoiding Equipment Failure
Consistent ground thaw heat is essential for the safety of your crew and the machines they’re operating. Certain pieces of equipment will fail in extreme freezing temperatures. If they do not continue to run, they are also at greater risk for damage due to the cold temperatures of materials and frozen ground. Broken equipment can lead to project delays and budget overages, not to mention the safety hazards involved.
Ground Thaw Challenges
You know you need to have ground thaw heaters in place if you want to complete your remote project in the cold winter conditions of Alberta. But not all ground thaw heaters are equal. Here are some of the common challenges you may experience when using unreliable ground thaw heaters:
- Soggy, muddy ground
- Inconsistent thawing
- Overcrowded work zone
- Lengthy delays
- High costs beyond your budget
At Cahill Heating Rentals, we know how important it is to maintain a safe work zone while keeping your project timeline on schedule and within budget. That’s why we offer reliable and efficient ground thaw heaters for rental and purchase.
How and Why Our Heaters Work in Any Temp
Our Jet Heat flameless heater provides reliable heat that is much easier to use than the bulky systems of traditional ground thaw heaters. The convection heating solution thaws the ground and dries the area, leaving no muddy mess to contend with afterwards. Our Jet Heater requires one operator, freeing up the rest of your work crew to do their regular tasks.
Thaw Larger Areas in Less Time
Instead of using traditional glycol heating lines to warm the ground and leave a muddy mess, our Jet Heaters work efficiently with flexible ducting and tarps. This means you can cover a large area and thaw the ground faster without creating a mess inside. Using the right equipment from the start of your project will save everyone on your team time and headaches.
