Industrial Heaters and Garage Heaters

Other commercial heaters include outdoor patio heaters for outdoor dining and event applications. To keep clients warm while enjoying the outdoors, select from electric wall-mount units, gas fire pits, pyramid gas heaters, and infrared heaters.

They're built to last with durable materials such as corrosion-resistant steel or stainless steel, epoxy powder paint, industrial-grade plugs, and piezo lighting systems. These tough heaters can withstand rugged environments while maintaining personal safety with features like overheat protection and UL certifications. Some models have rolling wheels or safe rubber feet for simple and stable placement.

The heat from these powerful heaters is measured in BTUs (British Thermal Units) and ranges from under 5,000 BTUs to over 500,000 BTUs. Electric-powered models have lower BTU levels, while gas-powered heaters can reach the higher maximum BTU levels. These heavy-duty heaters can create comfortable work areas all winter, from small repair shops and home workshops to large industrial spaces.

FAQs

What is the most efficient heater for garage?

Electric infrared heaters are the most efficient heaters for a garage, since they heat objects rather than the air. They can usually be wall mounted or placed on the floor for more versatile installation. Propane heaters are also energy efficient and affordable.

Should garage heaters be on the floor or ceiling?

Depending on the space available and the need, garage heaters can be either ceiling- or wall-mounted, if the heater design allows this. Placing the heater on the floor can be just as effective, if you have the floor space available.

What size heater do I need for my warehouse?

The size heater depends on the size of the warehouse, and while this depends on the region, a good rule of thumb is about 40 BTU's per square foot.

What is the most energy efficient way to heat a warehouse?

The best heaters for a large warehouse is a gas unit heater which uses natural gas and a fan to circulate the heat. Another good choice is an electric radiant heater, especially to heat specific areas, targeting items that need more heat than others. Electric unit heaters are a better choice for smaller warehouses. They cost a bit more than gas, but they're easier to install.
