Smart heat has arrived: Introducing Heat IQ for real-time heater monitoring

Save time, lower costs, and reduce downtime with telematics for heaters

It’s 5:00 AM on a jobsite in the middle of winter. Your crew is about to arrive for the morning shift, but you receive an alert that a critical heater curing concrete is showing low pressure and will shut down in the next few hours.

Before a service team is dispatched, your technician logs in, reviews real-time fault codes and engine diagnostics, and pinpoints the issue. A driver is sent to repair the problem with the required parts. No guesswork, no emergency shutdown needed. Your crew stays on schedule and your project keeps moving.

Until recently, that level of visibility wasn’t possible with heating equipment. Most heaters operated as standalone machines. Service teams would be dispatched without clear diagnostic information. The result? Wasted time, higher labour costs, unnecessary service calls, and frustrating project delays.

That’s exactly what Heat IQ is designed to solve.

What is Heat IQ?

Developed in close collaboration with Xtellio, Heat IQ is a telematics solution designed specifically for heating equipment.

It’s built for real jobsites, with no complicated setup or additional infrastructure required.

“For the first time, heaters have deep telematics capabilities.” Said Tom Valbak, CEO, Xtellio. “Heat IQ gives you clear, real-time visibility into exactly what’s happening with your heaters before you pick up the phone to your service team. That means lower labour costs and increased equipment uptime.”

It doesn’t stop at diagnostics

Visibility goes beyond performance diagnostics.

When a heater gets stolen or misplaced, it can have a ripple effect on the jobsite. Crews sent home because temperatures are too low to work safely or effectively, materials damaged, insurance claims, and missed deadlines.

With Heat IQ, you’ve also got a powerful tracking device delivering live GPS data. This way, you’re able to locate, secure, and recover heaters that are moved or stolen – adding an extra layer of protection to your jobsite.

Proactive monitoring that protects your schedule

Imagine: at 8:00pm on a Friday, a fuel level alert triggers levels below 20% on a key heater curing concrete. Instead of discovering an empty tank Saturday morning and compromised materials, your team schedules a refill that night, avoiding a potential project delay.

Whether you’re curing concrete, drywalling, or installing flooring, there’s no room for disruption. Your heaters must perform reliably and efficiently, especially after hours when problems can go unnoticed.

Heat IQ technology installs quickly and provides immediate visibility into the engine hours, fault codes, and diagnostics that help keep your schedule on track. This is where real-time monitoring can make a big difference on the jobsite.

Monitor fuel levels and ambient temperature to prevent costly delays

Powered by real-time engine diagnostics transmitted through built-in cellular connectivity, Heat IQ keeps you informed wherever your equipment is operating. When paired with Bluetooth-enabled sensors, the system provides accurate monitoring of:

• Fuel levels: track consumption and receive alerts before levels become critical
• Ambient temperature: ensure environmental conditions stay within required ranges
• Humidity: maintain proper curing conditions and compliance standards

By delivering actionable data in real time, Heat IQ helps maintain optimal conditions and prevents downtime that can increase costs.

The bottom line: Winter construction isn’t easy. Equipment uptime matters.

With Heat IQ, you can move from reactive service to proactive control.

• Fewer unnecessary service calls
• Faster diagnostics
• Smarter dispatching
• More uptime

Now your heaters can protect your build, your timeline, and your bottom line.
