It can get extremely cold in New York during the winter months. Facilities and products in the facilities can suffer serious damage when their heating systems fail during freezing conditions.

The New York Botanical Garden (NYBG) is the most famous garden in the United States, located in New York City. The NYBG has thousands of square feet of greenhouses, filled with rare and expensive plants

When the NYBG experienced a damaged steam line during severely cold weather, 150 kW electric heaters manufactured by OnSpot of North America were immediately utilized to protect the Gardens valuable plants.

The OnSpot dealer in NY for rentals, On Site Energy Co., Inc., delivered several large heaters and provided generators to power the heaters. The heaters were in operation by nightfall and saved hundreds of thousands of dollars in plants.

The heaters, with dimensions of 6’4” x 2’9” x 6’6” were able to be rolled in through doorways and positioned to supply the maximum amount of heat for the plants. The 190 amps of 480 volt power required was provided by diesel generator sets positioned outside of the NYBG.

OnSpot of North America sells both new and used heaters, and rents through it’s New York dealer, On Site Energy Co., Inc.
