Question 1

What's the difference between gas-fired and electric unit heaters?

Accepted Answer

Gas-fired unit heaters are more cost-effective for large spaces and deliver higher BTU output. Electric unit heaters are simpler to install (no venting needed) and work well for smaller areas. We'll recommend the best option based on your space and available utilities.

Question 2

Can you install unit heaters in my garage?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Garage unit heaters are one of our most common installations. We'll size the unit for your garage dimensions and insulation level, and ensure proper venting and clearances for safe operation.

Question 3

How high should a unit heater be mounted?

Accepted Answer

Mounting height depends on ceiling height, unit capacity, and the space layout. Typically 7–10 feet for standard garages, higher for commercial spaces. We position units for maximum heat coverage and safety clearance.

Question 4

Do unit heaters require annual maintenance?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Annual maintenance includes cleaning the burner and heat exchanger, checking the gas valve and ignition system, inspecting venting, and testing safety controls. This keeps the unit running safely and efficiently.
