RigMaster vs ProHeat?
- Thread starter FlameMerc
- Start date
Everybody has a story about which to choose. I would look at your location and service opportunitys. Thes are not maintenance free devices like some want you to think. Do your research and make your decision based on who can and will keep you up and running. Good luck and tell us how it works out for you.
i have had 2 proheat's on 2 different truck's both were protype
as i have been a proheat field rep for over 7 year's and wouldn't have let them use my name in two ad's and call on customer if i didn't believe in it, as glen rice said you have to do your pms
and keep track of hours and use and they will be working hard to keep you warm and cool, myself loved proheat, one of best places to get one is bill moore at tsi in north jackson oh 800 388 3850
don't know how much they will cost but give bill a call and he would be glad to help you out
one thing what ever gen set you get it will save you money
in 1st one i saved 12,000 in fuel and 4,000 in maintance
for ever one hour of use will save one hour off the engine
in 1st 4 year's had idled the truck 227 hours out of 6,000 on engine
don't idle always use genset
and used them in 2 hurrcane's to power hood had 4 freezer's and 3 refer's running for 8 days 24/7 and only shut down to check oil and
due pre trip each day
nobody in hood lost anything out of there freeze or refer's

Less than 8K and more BTUs than you will ever need in your truck the sooner you buy one the quicker it returns $ in your pocket. Taking bets on the Lions in next years Super Bowl.

If they get Matt Hasslebeck, I'll put my money on them 
That isn't gonna happen tho... so my faith (never money) goes with the luckless and fateless birds
btw... we're looking at rigmaster, but the financing ppl were jerks. My co-driver has immaculate credit, and they asked him 20 questions... then turned him down cause he never owned a truck. We still like their system cause Espar, who installs and services them, is about 5 miles from my house. We will consider something else if the financing ppl aren't so anal. :-(

I have had my Rigmaster for a couple of years. I selected Rigmaster rather than ProHeat because it is an independent system--my recollection regarding ProHeat was that their unit needed to tap into the truck heating and cooling system.
The Rigmaster unit does a good job of running the sleeper while you are not running the truck. I have had satisfaction for heat in winter and cooling in summer, as well as running microwave, TV, coffee maker, etc . It also has trickle charge for the batteries.
I get my service on the unit at Espar of Michigan; they added Rigmaster to their business about 1 1/2 years ago. Ray, the owner, and Matt, the technician, are good guys. Mike

I've got the ProHeat Gen4 and really like it. When I run it in the cold it already has the water warmed in the radiator to about 120 so when I start the engine it's got warm water circulating. It has done an excellent job for me so far, albeit with only about 350 hours on it so far.

just had pro heat gen4 installed @ alumibunk in woodhaven,mi. it took 3 visits to get it up and running properly, but once it was it was working great. so..........do your homework and pick out the installer carefully. ask questions of the people you see in truckstops and get the full poop. where you get it is probably the most important point to ponder. good luck.

Did you end up going with the Rigmaster? If so, how do you like it so far and how has it done during the heat of summer?
