Stay comfortable and defrost your windshield in cold weather with the Can-Am Commander Cab Heater with Defrost — a complete heater kit designed specifically for 2021–2026 Commander UTVs. This heater draws heat from your engine’s cooling system and delivers warm air into the cab, making winter rides and work days much more enjoyable and productive. Whether you’re cruising trails, working the property, or hauling gear in chilly conditions, this heater helps keep the cab toasty and your view crystal clear.
Built as a direct-fit winter upgrade, the heater integrates with your Commander’s coolant lines and electrical system without extensive modification. Complete kits include everything you need — custom mounting brackets, radiator hoses, clamps, fittings, ductwork, wiring, defrost vents, and clear installation instructions — so you won’t be making extra trips to the hardware store to finish the job. With the built-in blower and heat exchanger, the system pushes warm air through louvers and defrost vents, helping to melt frost and ice off your windshield while venting heat into the cabin.
Most configurations deliver strong heat output (around 14,600–18,000 BTU), adjustable blower speeds, and strategically placed vents to spread warm air efficiently throughout the cab space. The included defrost vents aim warm airflow directly at your windshield to keep glass clear of fog, frost, and ice — making it easier and safer to ride in winter weather.
This heater is great for riders who use their Commander in cold climates, early mornings, or during long winter work sessions. Adding a heater with defrost functionality extends your riding season and improves comfort and visibility when temperatures drop.
