What Profire Energy does

Profire Energy, founded in 2002 and headquartered in Lindon, Utah, designs and manufactures burner management system (BMS) controllers and combustion control systems for industrial heating applications, with primary focus on the oil and gas industry. The company's product portfolio centers on four BMS controller platforms: the flagship PF3100 (forced draft, modular architecture with expansion cards), the PF2200 family (SB, DB, FD variants plus a specialized GP glycol pump controller), the next-generation PF2150 series (natural draft), and the legacy PF2100 family. These controllers integrate with complementary hardware including HBB and PRO Series pre-assembled fuel trains, M7 high-efficiency burners, flame arrestors, flare pilots, solar power packages for remote installations, PFCONNECT remote monitoring, and Linear Heat Detection. Products are certified to IEC 61508 functional safety, UL/CSA hazardous location, and code standards NFPA-87 and CSA B149.3.

The company operates a hybrid go-to-market combining a direct enterprise field-sales force with a network of authorized distributors and service partners, supported by company-operated service hubs in Texas, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Utah, Alberta, and British Columbia. Revenue is generated through two primary streams: (1) hardware sales of BMS controllers, fuel trains, burners, pilots, valves, and instrumentation; and (2) professional services including installation, startup and commissioning, a 12-point preventative maintenance program, engineering and design (Engineered-to-Order), and 24/7 technical support. Customer logos span major North American operators including Chevron, EQT, Kinder Morgan, XTO Energy, Continental Resources, Occidental Petroleum, Devon Energy, Energy Transfer, and Archaea Energy.

In January 2025, Profire was acquired by CECO Environmental Corp. for $2.55 per share in cash, contributing approximately $70 million to CECO's backlog. The company now operates as a brand under CECO Environmental and continues to pursue product expansion (PF2150, PF2200-GP) into adjacent verticals such as hydrogen production, biogas/renewable natural gas, landfill, food and beverage, metals and mining, and pulp and paper.
