Use Cases

Match the heater to the setting

Freestanding propane heaters are represented for outdoor dining, patio gatherings, and hospitality spaces. Overhead infrared models are represented for loading docks, mechanic bays, garages, shops, patios, and other drafty work areas.

How to Choose

Start with fuel, output, and placement

Choose between propane and natural gas options represented in the category. Compare listed outputs from 40,000 to 70,000 BTU, then consider whether a wheeled freestanding unit, wall or ceiling mount, or overhead installation suits the layout.

Applications

Consider how heat is delivered

Freestanding patio heaters use reflector shields to help direct heat outward. Infrared models provide radiant heat directed toward floor-level people and objects, which is useful where drafts, wind, or open doors are present.

Patio and hospitality heating

Select movable propane heat for guest areas

Freestanding propane patio heaters are represented for bars, bistros, restaurants, hospitality businesses, patios, and outdoor gathering areas. These models provide 40,000, 41,000, or 48,000 BTU output, depending on the model.

  • Choose a model with an integrated adjustable or steel table when added surface space is useful.
  • Consider wheeled bases or commercial-grade wheels when the heater may need repositioning.
  • Compare reflector shields, weighted base plates, tank housing, thermocouples, and tilt or anti-tilt features where offered.
  • One 48,000 BTU model lists warmth across an approximately 10 to 15 foot diameter area; another lists a heat range of up to 15 feet.
Infrared options for open or drafty areas

Direct radiant heat where people work

High-intensity overhead infrared heaters are represented for loading docks, vehicle service bays, and similar commercial work areas. Their radiant heat is directed to floor-level personnel and objects rather than heating the surrounding air first.

  • Available propane infrared outputs include 40,000 and 60,000 BTU models; a 70,000 BTU natural gas overhead model is also represented.
  • Select manual-pilot ignition or auto-spark ignition according to the listed model features.
  • Some models include a 120V/24VAC/40VA transformer, and selected propane models include burner orifices for output adjustment.
  • Review listed pilot and burner shut-offs, which are included on selected infrared heaters.
Mounted and tube heater considerations

Plan around mounting and heat distribution

For outdoor or partially covered guest areas, a propane infrared model supports wall mounting or chain suspension. A liquid propane infrared U-tube model is represented for garages, shops, and patios where uniform radiant heat distribution is needed.

  • The wall- or ceiling-mount model can be mounted from horizontal up to 60 degrees.
  • That mounted model has 316 stainless steel construction and a glass front.
  • The 45,000 BTU U-tube heater uses a polished deep-dish reflector to help direct radiant heat.
  • The U-tube model includes the burner and tube set in one box.
