Cold jobsites and drafty commercial buildings are hard on the people working in them. King Electric makes the PKB-FM line in America for tough industrial environments, so you get a rugged steel heater you can carry from one site to the next.

Key Features and Benefits of the King Electric PKB-FM Heater

  • Built-In Thermostat: Set your target from 40 to 100 degrees F, and the heater cycles on and off to hold it so you don't have to keep adjusting it.
  • Electronic Controls: Change settings on the electronic controls or from across the room with the included remote control, so you don't have to leave your work.
  • Spiral Steel Elements: Spiral finned steel heating elements and high CFM airflow spread heat evenly and run cooler, which makes the heater last longer.
  • 20-Gauge Steel Housing: Electro-galvanized steel inside and out, with a rust-inhibiting baked enamel finish, stands up to jobsite knocks and corrosion.
  • Enclosed Motor: An epoxy-coated motor with an enclosed rotor resists moisture and corrosion, so it keeps running in damp work areas.
  • Safety Shutoff: Automatic overheat shutoff and tip-over protection turn the heater off if something goes wrong, and the heater is ETL listed for safety.
  • Fan-Only Mode: Turn off the heating element and run the fan alone to move air through your space during warmer months.
  • Carry and Stack: Spring-loaded retractable top handles make it easy to move, 4 rubber feet keep it steady, and you can stack several heaters for storage.
  • Compact Footprint: The heater measures 18 x 15.1 x 16-Inches (L x W x H) and weighs 44 pounds, so 1 person can move it between work areas.
  • High-Voltage Power: Every size plugs into a 220-240 volt supply, so make sure your space has a matching high-voltage outlet before setup.

Choose Your Wattage

The PKB-FM comes in 5,000-watt, 10,000-watt, and 15,000-watt sizes, and each larger size heats a bigger space.

  • 5,000 Watts: The smallest size produces 25,600 BTU and draws 12 amps, heating up to 500 square feet, about the size of a 1-car garage.
  • 10,000 Watts: This size doubles the wattage of the 5,000-watt model, producing 34,100 BTU and drawing 24 amps to heat up to 1,000 square feet or a 3-car garage.
  • 15,000 Watts: The largest size adds another 5,000 watts over the 10,000-watt model, producing 68,200 BTU at 36.1 amps for up to 1,500 square feet or a 4-car garage.

Note: The amp draw goes up with each size, so check that your circuit can handle the model you choose.

Sylvane's Expert Take

If you run a contractor crew or manage a commercial space where heat has to move from site to site, the PKB-FM line is built for that work. Pick your size by square footage rather than rounding up, and the 10,000-watt model covers a 3-car garage without the heavier circuit demand of the largest size. The thermostat and enclosed motor matter most, because they hold temperatures steady in damp conditions. Every wattage shares the same steel build, so the only decision is how much space you need to warm.
