Features
- Propeller Based Air Propulsion
- The PDP250 uses a propeller for air movement. This keeps the depth of the unit heater to a minimum, maximizing possible installation points, as well as passing along significant cost savings.
- Stainless Steel Heat Exchanger
- The stainless steel heat exchanger has incredible corrosion resistance and high heat transfer. Built to last, it is also protected by a full 10 year warranty by Modine.
- Electric Knockouts
- Electric wiring knockouts and field wiring connections on the PDP250 keep installation costs low and save time during both installation and maintenance for your contractor by simplifying all required electrical work.
- Ignition Controller
- The ignition controller is designed with safety in mind and features built in ignition attempt timers. This minimizes the chance of false starts and prevents unnecessary gas from being used during the ignition process.
- Permanently Lubricated Motor
- The motor on the PDP250 has a permanent, effective lubricant straight from the factory. This means that the motor never has to be oiled, reducing maintenance costs, general wear and tear, and operational noise.
- Power Venting System
- The power venting system quickly and efficiently brings flue exhaust from the unit heater to the outdoors and requires minimal installation labor. This keeps installation related costs as low as possible.
- Baked Polyester Paint
- The PDP250 features a neutral colored baked on polyester paint, providing excellent corrosion resistance and durability while blending in with a wide variety of environments.
- Modine Installation
- Installation by a professional installer is required by the manufacturer.
- 230V/1Ph/60Hz

Review Posted 01/30/2024
I heat a 2500 square ft garage. It uses between 5-10 gal propane a day depending upon the temperature outside. It will take the temp from 40 deg to 65 deg in about 20 minutes.
