Answer a few questions about your job and get a ballpark estimate for heating, cooling, drying out, ground thaw, generator size or generator fuel, plus equipment from our fleet that fits. A real person confirms everything before you rent.
How to use Tools
Pick the kind of job, answer a few questions, and the dark panel shows a ballpark estimate plus equipment from our fleet that fits. Every answer updates the results right away.
Pick a tab at the top: Heat, Power, Compare, Cool, Dry Out or Thaw Ground.
Fill in the steps on the left. Rough numbers are fine.
Read the estimate on the right (below the questions on a phone).
Tap Specs → to open a unit's cut sheet in the catalog, or Call → for units we don't have a sheet for yet.
Tap Quote this setup or Get a Quote to send it to our team.
Every tab leans a little high on purpose, so you're not caught short. If a job is too big or too technical for a quick estimate, you'll see "This one needs a pro" and a way to reach a real person.
🔥 Heat
For heating a building or space under construction.
The space: length, width and ceiling height. It works out the cubic feet for you.
Temperatures: the coldest you expect outside and the temperature you want inside. The difference is the temperature rise.
How closed in it is: pick the description that matches. A tight building needs much less heat than one wrapped in plastic.
The site: fuel on hand, whether an open flame is allowed, and whether there's power.
The estimate comes from the Heat Requirement Estimator in our Engineering Guide. Units tagged Open flame may not be allowed in enclosed or occupied spaces.
⚡ Power
Sizes a generator for everything you plan to run.
What you'll run: pick a type and unit from our fleet, set how many, and tap + Add. Use − and + to change counts, × to remove.
Anything else: add your own tools, lights or trailers. The watts or amps are on the nameplate. Check the motor box for pumps, saws, compressors and ACs, since they pull extra when they start.
Generator setup: leave voltage on Pick for me, or choose one. Pick a fuel and hours per day.
You'll see the running load, the start-up load, the size of generator you need, fleet generators that fit with how loaded each one would be, fuel per day, and how many spider boxes and cords it takes.
Anything that won't run on the voltage you picked turns red and is left out of the total. Backup power for a building and loads over 300 kW go to our team.
⛽ Compare
Compares fuel cost for running a generator on propane or natural gas against diesel.
Generator and load: pick a unit and how hard it works on average. Most job sites run 30 to 60 percent.
Prices: type in what your fuel supplier charges. The numbers in the boxes are only examples.
DEF: check the box if your diesel unit needs exhaust fluid.
Run time: hours per day and days on the job.
The results show total fuel and cost for each, the difference, and the price where the two break even. On the Power tab, the Compare fuel cost link brings your generator straight here.
❄ Cool
For cooling a room, shop, tent or event.
What you're cooling: pick the type of space and enter its size.
What adds heat: sun on the roof, people, and running equipment in kW (machines, lights, servers). Leave equipment blank if you're not sure.
Power: pick what's on site so it only shows units that will plug in. Not sure? It shows everything and reminds you to check the voltage.
You'll get a range in BTU/hr and tons. Outdoor, open air suggests evaporative coolers and big fans instead, since an air conditioner can't cool open air.
Portable units need somewhere to send their hot air, like a drop ceiling, window or door. Server rooms and medical spaces always go to our team so backup can be planned.
💧 Dry Out
For pulling moisture out of a space: damp air, new drywall or paint, a new concrete slab, or water damage that's been cleaned up.
The space: length, width and ceiling height.
What needs drying: pick the closest match. Water damage needs the most equipment.
Temperature: dehumidifiers slow down in the cold, so cool spaces also get dry heat suggestions.
You'll get pints of water per day to remove, how many dehumidifiers, and a fan to keep the air moving.
Standing water or visible mold goes straight to our team. Water has to be pumped out first, and mold needs the right containment.
⛏ Thaw Ground
For thawing frozen ground, curing concrete in the cold, or keeping ground from freezing.
The job: pick one. Keeping ground from freezing covers more area than thawing it.
The area: length and width of the ground or slab. For thawing, pick how deep the frost is.
Power: the E3000 needs two 20 amp, 115V circuits (or its optional generator).
You'll see how many ground heaters it takes, how much diesel they burn per day, and how long a tank lasts.
Thaw time depends on frost depth, soil and weather, so the tool doesn't guess at it. Our team will give you a timeline.
Save & share a plan
Copy plan for your quote: copies a short summary. Paste it into the message box on the quote form, an email or a text.
Share this plan: copies a link (or opens your phone's share menu). Anyone who opens it sees the same answers and results.
Bookmark it: the page address keeps your answers, so a bookmark brings the plan right back.
Compare these cut sheets: opens the suggested units side by side in the catalog.
