Janitrol heater

[n86121]

I had a C&D put in abut a year ago, and it's outlet air temp remains tepid.

New pump, pressure regulator, etc from C&D

Did you have to do anything special to it?

Did yours eventually put out heat like the old janitrol?

Be sure whoever does this for you actually reads the installation procedures and follows the checklist and checks that everything is set up properly, and then tests it at altitude. It seems that if the fuel pump for the heater is not up to spec, the heater won't light at altitude. Don't ask how I know! The folks who did this for me hadn't done this before, and didn't do it very well or very efficiently. The total cost was $6800. I won't be going back to this shop. The heater works well though, once it was set up properly.
