QUALITY MATTERS: GenTex^™ Heaters Proven More Efficient

GenTex^™ heaters have been tested against our competitors, and it has been continually proven that our heaters are both more efficient, and durable, due to their superior design. Our heaters have consistently proven to be 10-15% more efficient than our Canadian competitors, and up to 25% more efficient than heaters manufactured by our American competitors. Increased efficiency allows GenTex^™ customers to save on fuel, and with the rising cost of fuel, customer savings are adding up quick! A recent study has shown that with a 15% increase in efficiency, and the associated fuel savings, a GenTex™ heater will pay for itself in one year, and with a 25% increase in efficiency, a GenTex^™ heater will pay for itself in as little as seven months.

1968- 2002: Having had a service company (General Hot Oil & Pressure Service Ltd.) that operated this type of equipment, GenTex^™ has extensive experience in the practical application of hot oil units and pressure trucks to draw upon.
