Espar Gas Heater Install Services For Vanlifers - $1199
We at The Engineers Who Van Life know how important heat is for your van. We also know how daunting the heater install process can be. After countless heater installs for clients all over the country, we are finally able to standardize this as a stand alone service! For $1199 we will install any Espar gas or diesel air heater in your Ford Transit, Mercedes Sprinter, or Ram Promaster.
What Does The Heater Install Include?
- Install of any Espar air heater in any cargo van. We can install this under the passenger seat or anywhere else in your van!
- Mounting of heater, connection of air intake/exhaust, full wiring of wire harnesses and power supply, and fuel line run UP TO the fuel tank
- Connection and mounting of any compatible controller (Must have mounting location selected)
- Will Install a third party heater vent cover as desired
What Does The Heater Install NOT Include?
- Standard install includes connection to any existing fuel port with included connectors, but not installation of an espar standpipe.
- Standard installation does not include removing gallies, fridges, wall panels or other non-standard equipment in your van. This additional access and re-finish work will be billed hourly.
Can You Drop The Fuel Tank and Install an Espar Standpipe?
Yes! As an install add-on, we will drop the gas tank in your Ford Transit and install a 300mm long, 2mm ID standpipe for $499.
Do You Install Other Heater Brands?
Especially at altitude, heaters can be finicky. We have used espar products for years ourselves and have 100% confidence in their design, engineering, and product/customer support. We will install other heater brands, but cannot off the same level of product guarantees. We will always stand by and warranty our work.
What Do You Need To Prepare Before Service?
- Have an DC fuse block with power installed in your Ford Transit van
- Have necessary wall panels removed for running wires before the install
- If a standpipe is being installed, have the gas tank below 1/8 full for extended range gas tanks, and under 1/4 full for regular gas tanks
- If you are taking advantage of our mobile services, ensure you have a safe, level area of driveway to work with enough space for the job.

Hi,
I’m attempting to install the Eberspacher D5E hydronic heating system in my cargo trailer conversion. I was hoping to find a step-by-step guide on your site but it seems that you only offer installation. Do you have any recommendations online that would assist me in the install process if I’m doing it on my own?

A step by step guide is in our pipeline but not done yet. We found the Eberspacher manual to be the most helpful.
I have more than simple a heater I want to install. How much is a trip to the Houston area going to cost? I have 4 Battleborn batteries (270Ah 12V LiFePO4 Deep Cycle GC3 Batteries) and a Sol-ark 12k that need to be installed in a cargo trailer as well, along with some probably pretty simply wiring for the trailer. I don’t own a van.
