    We bring the heat…literally. The self-contained heater trailer, with a capacity of 780,000 BTU, is a remarkable innovation that has proven to be incredibly useful. While these trailers are most associated with fracking operations to warm the ground, Pennsylvania has taken a pioneering step by modifying three of these trailers to assist with healthcare facility HVAC emergencies during the winter season. These trailers can essentially eliminate the need to transfer or displace medically vulnerable residents. Equipped with an onboard generator, the self-contained heater trailer is entirely self-sufficient, making it an ideal solution for emergency heating situations. The trailer is designed to provide heat to a facility for over 40 hours continuously without requiring additional fuel or power sources. The modified trailers can be quickly deployed by the Emergency Support Function to the affected facilities, ensuring that the heating service is maintained until it can be restored. The introduction of these modified self-contained heater trailers represents a significant advancement in emergency HVAC solutions. By utilizing existing technologies from industries like fracking, the Pennsylvania Emergency Support Function and Department of Health has established a commendable precedent for other states to follow. This innovative approach not only ensures the comfort and well-being of residents during extreme weather conditions but also saves time, money, and resources that would have been spent on temporary relocations and alternative heating arrangements.
