Construction heaters recall – PCH and UCH models

In 2009, following the amendment of CSA Standard C22.2 No. 46, Stelpro implemented a proactive prevention program to ensure the safety of its construction heaters manufactured between January 2000 and April 2009. Since April 2009, Stelpro products have been manufactured in accordance with the new standard and are safe.

In 2019, the entire industry is conducting a recall for the same reason on the same units, for construction heaters manufactured with heating elements supplied by CCI. It is still these same units that are now targeted by a class action.

The units concerned pose an electric arcing and fire risk. The Stelpro models affected by this recall were manufactured between January 2000 and April 2009:

No other Stelpro device or model is affected by this recall.

If you believe you still have one of the models covered by this recall and it is still in use, please complete the form below. We urge you to validate your unit even if it was secured as part of the 2009 prevention program.

If your device is one of the affected units, you will benefit from a discount on a replacement device, the amount of which varies depending on the manufacture date of your device.

Unit validation

1. Locate the nameplate on the back of the unit.
2. Make sure your heater is a STELPRO or UNIWATT brand.
