Val6 Infrared Heater vs. Torpedo Heater

December 13, 2021
Heaters

Most everyone is familiar with a torpedo heater and its use in a garage, barn, or shop area. They are the most common heater to use because of the cheap price, portability and availability. One heater brand that tops any torpedo heater is the Val6 brand.

It’s not a secret that a Val6 Heater can be pricey. But in the long run you are saving yourself money through fuel usage! Over a period of 4 months (one season) you will save yourself $1,500 in fuel costs from using a Val6 Heater instead of a torpedo heater.

Below are some comparisons between the two heaters. Without a doubt, a Val6 heater burns cleaner, is more cost friendly, and better for the environment.

Below are the available soaps we carry in 2.5 Gallon, 5 Gallon, & 55 Gallon Drums.
