heating system fabricator
A company that manufactures equipment for ambient heating, including boilers, radiators, and heat pumps.
A heating system fabricator is a company that manufactures equipment used to generate ambient heat, such as boilers, stoves, radiators, heat pumps, electric coils, and convectors. If the same firm also manufactures ventilation and air conditioning equipment, it can be classified as an HVAC fabricator instead.
The equipment produces or supplies heat to the surrounding space. The examples above include different forms of heating equipment, rather than limiting the manufacturer to a single heat source or mechanism.
A cooling system fabricator is distinguished by equipment used to lower ambient temperature. Heating manufacture concerns the heating equipment itself; automation technology used to operate it is a separate product.
