Mr. Heater MH55FAV Forced Air Propane Heater Specifications
The MH125FAV sits in the middle of Mr. Heater's line of propane forced-air heaters for smaller jobs (see the MH35FAV and the MH85FAV). The heater gives you up to 55,000 Btu--enough to heat 1,250 square feet. Though the larger models give you more Btus, each heater in the line shares the same basic features, including an automatic shutoff with loss of flame or power supply and a high-output fan that circulates heat quickly. Hooking the heater up to the 20-pound propane cylinder (not included) is easy, and the 10-foot hose and regulator are included. CSA certified. One-year limited warranty.

Five Tips for Buying a Heater
Choosing a space heater is a matter of sifting through a bewildering array of types, power ratings, and fuel sources. Let's break it down a little to make the process easier.
What are the different types of space heaters?
- Radiant heaters emit infrared radiation that directly warms the objects in front of the heaters (rather than the surrounding air). If you only need heat by a desk or in a small section of a room, a radiant heater is quiet and will use very little power.
- Forced-air heaters use a fan to blow air that has been warmed by metal or ceramic heating elements. A forced-air heater is appropriate for quickly heating up a small- to medium-sized room, but can be noisy.
- Convection heaters draw cold air from the floor; the air is warmed by heating coils and emitted from the top of the heater. A convection heater is appropriate for quickly heating up a small- to medium-sized room, but also can be noisy.
- Radiators work by heating oil enclosed in a reservoir, gradually heating the surrounding air. If heating speed isn't an issue, you might want to opt for a radiator. These are extremely quiet and effective--perfect for bedrooms.
Should I buy an electric or a combustion model?
If you want a heater that will be available in emergencies, or that can heat areas larger than a single room, choose a "combustion" model--one that is powered by a gas or fuel like propane, kerosene, natural gas, or diesel. Which fuel type you choose depends largely on convenience and local availability. For example, diesel would be appropriate for a heater you take with you on long car trips.
How powerful a heater do I need?
Heaters are rated by BTU, which stands for British Thermal Unit (the amount of heat needed to heat one pound of water by 1 degree F). To find out how many BTU you need:
- Calculate the volume of the space to be heated by multiplying square footage by height.
- Multiply that number by 4 if your insulation is poor, 3 if it's average, or 2 if it's good.
The resulting number is a ballpark figure for how many BTU you'll need.
Do space heaters cost a lot to operate?
As a general rule, electric space heaters are more expensive to use than combustion models. To ensure energy efficiency, a thermostat is a must-have feature for any heater. For radiant heaters, models with a 360 degree heating surface can heat larger spaces. If you need a forced-air heater, models with ceramic elements tend to be more efficient.
Are space heaters a fire hazard?
Space heaters are implicated in about 25,000 residential fires every year. To ensure proper safety, always follow the manufacturer's usage instructions and fill out the warranty card to receive informational updates from the manufacturer. Also, look for extra safety features such as an automatic shutoff switch that can shut down the unit if, for example, it gets upended. In addition, choose a model where the heating element is adequately enclosed within the unit.

The HERO delivers 35,000 Btu’s that comfortably heats up to 800 square feet and operates for up to 12 hours on a 20 lb propane tank (hose and regulator included). The proprietary internal barrel design is more efficient than standard forced air propane heaters and the resulting air output is noticeably warmer while the outside of the barrel is cooler and safer to the touch. Manufactured from ABS composite and steel, the HERO is durable as well as lightweight. Weighing in at only 12 pounds and featuring a large ergonomic handle, the HERO is easily portable. 
Anyone that owns a forced air heater will agree that the warmth is nice but the operating noise is unbearable after a few short hours. The HERO features a groundbreaking new QBT burner system (Quiet Burner Technology). QBT is patent pending and delivers an amazing 50% less total noise than comparable forced air heaters. Your ears won’t believe the difference. 
The HERO is the world’s first cordless forced air heater. The patent pending HERO features an internal battery system that runs up to 8 hours on a single charge. You can go a whole work day on one charge and one tank of propane. The battery can be re-charged by simply plugging the unit in to 115V AC (cord included) at the end of the day. The HERO battery system will re-charge in 5.5 hours and won’t overcharge if left plugged in to the power outlet. Additionally, the HERO is fully operational while it is plugged in and charging.
