Frequently Asked Questions
What is radiant heat?
Radiant heat transfer occurs when infrared light emitted from an object travels to the surfaces of other cooler objects.
An object is heated directly through electromagnetic waves; Similar to how the sun heats the earth.
Why choose radiant heat?
Radiant heat allows you to heat an object directly without the inefficient process of heating the air first.
Radiant heat penetrates heated objects evenly, similar to heat from the sun.
Val6 heaters are not affected by wind as forced air heaters that suffer from heat loss in the ambient air. Radiant heat travels in a straight line, unlike hot air, it is unaffected by wind or cold ambient air. Since infrared heat can penetrate into the object, the targeted surface and object are warmed and/dried in a uniquely different way from any conventional heater which utilizes heated air.
Val6 generates infrared heat directly to the object without any air movement creating a dust-free comfortable environment.
Clean, complete combustion system produces no odor or smoke while it is running.
State of the art combustion chamber enables virtually 100% fuel to energy conversion thus making it the most efficient form of heating per BTU energy burned.
Because of the quality of craftsmanship, VAL6 heaters are guaranteed to last on average 3 times longer than typical convection heaters and those copycat versions.
What type of fuel can be used?
You can use Diesel #1, #2, and Kerosene.
If Diesel #2 starts to gel, mix with kerosene or Diesel #1.
What is the warranty period?
VAL6 heaters are sold with a 2 year manufacturer’s warranty.
What should I do to maintain my VAL6 heater?
Every year, the fuel filter and nozzle should be replaced. We also recommend flushing the fuel tank to clean out any sediment at the end of every season.
