Whether you live in a small apartment or a large family home, there is a setup that fits. Below are the three pieces of equipment we use, what each one does, and which packages they come with.

Elite 4 Heater: Used In Our DIY 200 And DIY 400 Packages

The Elite 4 is a compact heater and fan in one unit. It is light, easy to move, and simple enough to use with no experience, which is why we chose it for people treating their own homes.

ELITE 4 HEATER

Why It Suits A Regular Home

It has four heating elements, and each one draws 12 amps, so it works well when power is limited. Every element plugs into its own standard 15 or 20 amp wall circuit, which gives you full power from just four ordinary household circuits. A built-in 2,500 CFM fan moves the heat through the room, and the digital thermostat is preset to 140°F. It brings the room up to a temperature that kills bed bugs and their eggs, then holds it there.

Specs:

  • Amps: 48 total (12 per circuit across 4 circuits)
  • Watts: 6,000
  • Volts: 120
  • BTU: 20,460
  • Air volume: 2,500 CFM
  • Fan speed: 1 speed
  • Weight: 39 lbs
  • Dimensions: 10.5 x 21 x 24 inches
  • Fuel: electric

DIY 800, DIY 1200 and DIY 1600 Packages

The Versa Pro is our larger heater, and it runs on both 120 and 240 volts. Think of it as two heaters in one. One side connects to a 40 or 50 amp stove outlet, or to a 30 amp dryer outlet at reduced capacity. The other side connects to four standard wall outlets, and both sides can run at the same time.

With 46,000 BTUs of heating power, it can cover about 800 square feet in one go, or the living room, kitchen and dining area of a home, as long as you use the right number of air-moving fans alongside it.

Elite HTX High Temp Axial Air Mover

Heat only works if it moves, and that is the job of the Elite HTX. It is a high temperature fan that uses very little power, and it is strong enough to push hot air a long way across a room and into the gaps along baseboards and other hard to reach spots. The result is a strong, steady airflow around your treatment area.

Why It Is Easy To Use

It draws only 1.5 amps. The fans stack up to 10 high, which saves space, and you can daisy chain up to nine on a single 20 amp circuit, so extra fans will not overload your power.

Specs:

  • Running amps: 1.8
  • Air volume: 2,700 CFM
  • Daisy chain: up to 9 fans per 20 amp circuit
  • Forward directional airflow
  • High temperature motor rated for continuous use at 140°F
