Think about it—30 years ago, how we built vehicles and communicated was revolutionized. Yet, when it comes to industrial heating, we’re still relying on outdated, inefficient technologies. It’s the same old story—bulky, fuel-guzzling machines that are more of a headache than a solution. They break down at the worst times, require constant maintenance, and drain resources like there’s no tomorrow. Workers in frigid conditions are left battling the cold and the inefficiencies of outdated technology. No telematics—just an old-school, labor-intensive method that keeps everyone on edge, waiting for the next failure. Imagine a future where industrial heating is as advanced as our vehicles and communication systems.
But what if there were a smarter, cleaner, and more efficient way?
Thermal Intelligence is an industrial heater manufacturing company that has developed a clean, cost-effective, and powerful alternative—BASECAMP. A multiple award-winning product, the BASECAMP is an ultra-energy-efficient flameless heater, light tower, and generator that outperforms traditional heaters in every measurable way. It facilitates a cleaner, safer, and greener work environment, making it an ideal solution for construction sites, mining operations, and other cold-weather industrial applications. Its superior efficiency allows a single unit to replace (2) conventional heaters, (1.5) light towers and (1) 25kW generator.
“We’ve adapted the best technologies—high-efficiency engines, low-maintenance heat generation, and wireless communication—and engineered them into the most reliable, efficient, and versatile heating equipment for any job site,” says Patrick Bueckert, VP of Sales at Thermal Intelligence.
Smart Heating for Smarter Worksites
Traditional heaters present significant challenges due to their high energy consumption and inefficiency. A substantial portion of the fossil fuels they rely on is wasted, with nearly 50% of the British Thermal Units (BTUs) consumed being lost as waste heat in the atmosphere rather than being converted into usable heat. This inefficiency results in excessive energy waste and contributes to a greater environmental impact and sky-high fuel bills.
In contrast, the BASECAMP heater redefines industry standards by offering market-leading efficiency. It maximizes fuel utilization, converting 97% of diesel fuel into direct, usable heat, which helps minimize waste and optimize performance compared to the industry average of 50%.
As the lowest-cost-per-BTU heater available in North America, the BASECAMP stands out due to its innovative electric platform. Designed for superior performance, the unit features high static pressure, allowing it to push air farther, faster, and at higher temperatures than traditional heaters, which currently make up 95% of the heating market. While delivering this enhanced capability, the BASECAMP consumes 60% less diesel, saving users $10,000 per month in fuel costs and reducing emissions by the same percentage. This combination of cost savings and environmental responsibility makes the BASECAMP a standout choice for customers, who will see a 15 - 30% reduction in overall heating expenses.
The unit is equipped with a proprietary IoT system called SmartTalk, which enables 24/7 remote monitoring and remote control. Users can control their heating system from anywhere, ensuring optimal performance and minimal downtime, turning the heat on and off, adjusting temperatures, and receiving immediate notifications of operational interruptions. These real-time alerts help minimize downtime and maximize efficiency— particularly critical in conditions that require consistent and reliable temperature management.
BASECAMP also offers additional benefits that enhance its value as a comprehensive energy solution:
• The 48-hour minimum runtime reduces the need for frequent refuelling as it can operate four times longer than conventional equipment.
• Integrated lighting and power solutions, replacing 1.5 traditional light towers in illumination output and delivering an impressive 27 kilowatts of power distribution.
• Extended service interval—the 2,500-hour service interval allows the BASECAMP to run 4 to 8 times longer than competitors, reducing downtime and costs.
• The recirculation port increases heater efficiency by up to 46% by drawing in and repurposing waste heat, maximizing performance.
Beyond its impressive efficiency and cost-effectiveness, BASECAMP distinguishes itself from other products that merely claim high performance. It has earned certification from Green Seal Inc., an independent organization that verifies superior efficiency and environmental sustainability. Notably, BASECAMP is the only diesel-powered equipment to receive this certification, underscoring its unmatched cost savings, efficiency and sustainability credentials.
Turning Up the Heat on Savings
The BASECAMP is delivering substantial savings in real-world applications. When used solely as a heater, its payback period averages around six months—and that’s before you factor in the added value of its free lighting and power distribution features, which further shorten the return on investment. In practical terms, incorporating a BASECAMP into your projects can result in tens of thousands of dollars in savings per winter.
This rapid payback period highlights BASECAMP’s financial advantage over traditional heating solutions. The company supplies its innovative products directly to end users—ranging from construction firms and mining operations to oil and gas companies. Rental firms also purchase units in bulk, expanding BASECAMP’s influence across industries that depend on reliable heating, lighting, and power.
At a gold mine under construction in central British Columbia, where harsh winter conditions demand dependable equipment, BASECAMP’s performance proved transformative. Over just five months, the mine saved $1.8 million compared to its conventional setup of heaters, light towers, and generators. Beyond the impressive cost savings, the mine expanded its rental fleet from 20 to 31 units midwinter, driven by BASECAMP’s efficiency gains, reduced emissions, and enhanced site safety.
The BASECAMP units also offered temperature control, remote monitoring, and significant labour savings, benefits that weren’t even factored into the $1.8 million savings calculation.
Industry professionals echo BASECAMP’s impact:
“The Thermal Intelligence team not only has the best possible equipment solutions, but they have proven that they understand field support and can deliver on all fronts,” says Jason Eveleigh, Assistant Foreman at CNRL.
The Industry Shift You Can’t Ignore
Thermal Intelligence is committed to continuing the BASECAMP’s momentum. As more industries prioritize sustainability along with ongoing need for cost-savings, many so-called “green” products claim environmental benefits yet fail to deliver cost savings. BASECAMP breaks that cycle—offering a truly sustainable solution that reduces emissions while dramatically cutting fuel costs by $10,000 per month.
Industrial heating is long overdue for a transformation. The BASECAMP isn’t just another heater—it’s a shift in how companies approach heating, lighting, and power distribution in cold weather climates. With unparalleled efficiency and cutting-edge smart technology, Thermal Intelligence is setting a new industry standard—one that businesses can’t afford to ignore.
For companies seeking to enhance efficiency, sustainability, and profitability, the choice is clear— BASECAMP is the future of industrial heating.
