How The L.B. White Premier 170 DF 2.0 Compares To Electric Jobsite Heaters
Contractors and facility managers evaluating construction and industrial heating options usually face this question: should I get an electric Salamander heater for indoor use without combustion exhaust, or this dual-fuel L.B. White Premier for higher BTU output and greater fuel flexibility?
Here's the honest comparison:
| Feature | Fostoria Electric Salamander, 15kW ($2,898) | L.B. White Premier 170 DF 2.0, Dual-Fuel ($3,261) |
|---|---|---|
| Fuel Type | All electric, no combustion or exhaust | Propane gas or natural gas, dual-fuel with lockable selector valve |
| BTU Output | 51,195 BTU/hr | 170,000 BTU/hr, more than triple the electric unit's output |
| Airflow | 800 CFM | 1,200 CFM of heated air output |
| Ducting Capability | Not specified | Ductable up to 12 feet, directing heat to a specific area |
| Noise Level | Not specified | Less than 70 dB, quiet enough for comfortable conversation |
| Fuel Switching | N/A, electric only | Lockable fuel selector valve allows safe switching between propane and natural gas, no conversion kit required |
| Power Requirement | 240V, high-amp circuit required | Standard electronic ignition, no high-amp electrical circuit needed |
| Case Construction | Standard steel housing | Tri-shield finish: hot-dipped galvanized steel, epoxy primer, baked polyester coating for corrosion resistance |
| Fan-Only Mode | Yes, 800 CFM airflow without heat | Vent mode allows air circulation only, like a fan, without heat |
| Warranty | Standard | 2-year warranty with lifetime technical support |
| Best Suited For | Fully enclosed indoor spaces where any combustion exhaust must be avoided | Construction sites, industrial spaces, or areas needing high BTU output with ductable, directed heat |
Why The L.B. White Premier 170 DF 2.0 Is Worth The Investment
This isn't just a construction heater, it's built with a dual-fuel design and a lockable fuel selector valve, giving contractors and facility managers more than triple the BTU output of a comparable electric Salamander while retaining an enclosed flame design and the flexibility to switch between propane and natural gas without a conversion kit.
The Premier 170 DF 2.0 specifically addresses the needs of contractors and industrial crews who need significant heating capacity with the flexibility to duct heat up to 12 feet away, without being limited to a single fuel source or a high-amp electrical circuit.
More Heat, More Fuel Flexibility, Directed Where You Need It. With 170,000 BTU per hour and 1,200 CFM of heated air, this heater delivers substantially more heating capacity than electric alternatives, and the ability to duct heat up to 12 feet means warmth can be directed to a specific work area rather than just radiating from the unit's location.
Built For Efficient, Quiet Heating
The enclosed flame design combines 99% fuel efficiency with dependable, direct-fired heat output
Generates less than 70 dB of sound, quiet enough that conversation remains comfortable during operation
The lockable fuel selector valve allows safe switching between propane and natural gas without a conversion kit
Engineered For Job Site Durability And Convenience
The Tri-shield finish provides superior protection against abrasion and corrosion in demanding job site conditions
Handles and wheels on larger models provide maneuverability, and the unit fits through a standard 36" door frame
Reliable electronic ignition paired with a remote thermostat simplifies temperature management
Real Savings
Dual-fuel flexibility avoids being locked into a single fuel type based on what's available on site
Ductable heat up to 12 feet reduces wasted heating capacity compared to units that only radiate from their location
A 2-year warranty with lifetime technical support reduces the risk of unexpected repair costs
Free shipping and no sales tax through Summit Forge Supply keeps the total cost down compared to buying elsewhere and paying tax and freight separately
The Bottom Line Contractors and industrial crews who need significant heating capacity with the flexibility to direct heat and switch fuel sources can't get that combination from a lower-output electric Salamander. The L.B. White Premier 170 DF 2.0 is built with 170,000 BTU of dual-fuel heating power, ductable air output, and a durable Tri-shield finish, so it delivers serious heat wherever the job site power or fuel situation calls for it. For anyone heating large construction or industrial spaces as a regular part of the job, this is the heater built to handle it.
