Since 1984, Monitor Products, Inc. (MPI) has offered a wide range of home heating solutions including gas-, oil- and kerosene-fueled heaters. In 1994, MPI began selling the Monitor 441 (M441) kerosene-fueled heating system to replace the Monitor 41 (M41) heater introduced in 1988. MPI designed the Monitor 441 for ease-of-use—giving customers a clearly labeled console on the main in-room unit and push button controls for multiple heat output and air circulation adjustments.
