Stronger, Safer, Cleaner

Aluminium Housing

Every Nordkapp heater features a durable aluminium outer shell — not plastic.

Aluminium resists heat, impacts, and corrosion, ensuring long-term reliability even in extreme cold.

It also helps maintain cleaner indoor air, as it releases no odors or emissions, unlike plastic casings that can degrade under heat.

FAQ

What are the differences between the Nordkapp® Diesel Heater and "Chinese Diesel Heaters"?

European Type Approval

A key distinction lies in the heater unit itself. Nordkapp® Air Heaters are designed to meet the rigorous tests required by the ECE R122 type approval for safety. They have been laboratory tested and received ECE R122 Type Approval (E24) in the European Union. 

In contrast, the widely sold Chinese diesel heaters do not meet these standards, and therefore, do not have similar approval. 

ECE R122 Type Approval is mandatory for parking heaters; without this certification, the heater is illegal.

Control via GSM 4G/5G

Nordkapp diesel heaters offer an optional GSM 4G/5G mobile control, allowing you to operate the heater from anywhere with Nordkapp®’s own mobile app.

2-Year Warranty and Support

Nordkapp® offers a two-year warranty for its heaters, along with service and parts readily available in Europe. This ensures quick and effortless assistance when needed.

Fuel Hoses

Nordkapp® uses the highest quality fuel hoses, specifically designed for the requirements of each device. In contrast, Chinese heaters often use green fuel hoses that are too loose and causes problems.

High-Quality Materials and Components

Nordkapp® heaters predominantly use higher-quality components, making them more durable and quieter. For instance, the “Nordkapp® Super Silent” fuel pump is designed to operate more silently.
