In an industry that evolves with every legislation passing, every upgrade to technology and processing equipment, and every improvement in workplace
practice, Profire Energy remains firmly focused on the customer. The company was initially a service-based provider. In time, we developed our own products

•Flame Detection
•Temperature Control
•Safety Shutdown Capabilities
•Remote Capabilities (Modbus, Remote Start/Stop, and ESD)

heat is required. To provide that heat, a burner is used within the
application.

oil and gas production and processing equipment as opposed to the traditional
"rag-and-stick" method. Due to our expertise, Profire technicians were often
called upon to repair and maintain other companies...
