We install Espar and Webasto diesel air heaters in commercial vans at our Yorba Linda shop. We mount the unit, tap the fuel supply or add a dedicated tank, route intake and exhaust safely, and duct warm air into the cab or cargo area. Quiet auxiliary heat keeps Riverside crews and temperature-sensitive cargo comfortable on cold early routes without idling the engine.

## FAQ
### Do these heaters run off the van's fuel tank?
Usually yes. We tap the diesel tank with a standpipe or add a dedicated tank, so the heater sips fuel and needs no propane. That keeps auxiliary heat simple for daily routes.

### Is a diesel air heater safe to run inside a van?
Yes, when installed correctly. Combustion stays sealed and vents outside, only clean warm air reaches the cab, and we place a carbon monoxide detector as a backstop.

### Does running the heater beat idling the engine?
By a wide margin. A diesel air heater burns a fraction of what an idling engine does to make the same heat, which saves fuel and cuts wear on routes with long stops.

### Will it work up in the mountains?
Yes, with the right setup. We tune the heater for altitude so it runs clean when a route climbs out of the valley toward the passes.
