Direct-fired make-up air units

Units that heat large volumes of outside air for shops, kitchens and warehouses. The burner fires straight into the airstream, so airflow and gas pressure both have to be set correctly.

  • Startup and commissioning to the manufacturer's specifications
  • Burner, ignition and airflow checks, gas pressure and turndown setup
  • Troubleshooting lockouts, poor heat and nuisance trips

Braun Industrial Ltd.

A gas fitting company working on commercial and industrial gas equipment in northern BC.

That covers sawmills and kilns, mines and remote camps, schools, arenas and civic buildings, shops, warehouses and commercial kitchens. If you run gas-fired equipment anywhere in the region, tell us what you have and where it is.

We work on natural gas and propane systems. Jobs can be a long drive apart along Highway 16, so we ask for the make, model and a photo of the rating plate before a technician heads out.

Questions we get asked.

If your question isn't here, ask us.

What is a Class A gas fitter?

In BC, gas fitting is regulated by Technical Safety BC, and gas fitters need a certificate of qualification for the class of work they do. A Class B gas fitter is limited to appliances of 120 kW (about 409,000 BTU/h) input or less, plus their piping and venting. A Class A gas fitter can install and alter any gas system, except vehicle fuel systems, under a permit. That includes large boilers, process burners and other high-input equipment.

What equipment do you work on?

Commercial and industrial boilers, process burners, gas-fired rooftop units and direct-fired make-up air units. If you have other commercial or industrial gas equipment, ask us.

Do you do installs, or just service?

Both. We service and repair existing equipment, and we install, replace and commission new equipment.

Do you travel outside Smithers and Terrace?

Yes. We serve northern BC, including the Highway 16 corridor and the communities around Smithers and Terrace. For remote sites, contact us with the location and we'll let you know what's possible.

What should I send when I request service?

The type of equipment, the make and model if you have it, where it is, and what it's doing (or not doing). A photo of the rating plate helps a lot, so the technician can come prepared with the right parts and information.

Request service or a quote.

Tell us what equipment you have, where it is and what's going on. We'll get back to you to sort out next steps.
