What's included
- Sizing: we size the heater for your garage's dimensions, ceiling height and insulation, so it heats properly without wasting gas.
- Gas line: a properly sized gas line run from your meter or existing piping.
- Venting: installed to code and to the manufacturer's requirements.
- Placement and clearances: mounted where it heats well and keeps clear of vehicles, doors and storage.
- Thermostat: so you can set it and forget it.
- Permits: we pull the required gas permits.
Choosing the right heater
Forced-air unit heaters are the most common choice for residential garages. They heat the air quickly and are cost-effective to install.
Radiant tube heaters heat the surfaces and people in the space instead of the air, so they're popular in shops and in garages where the overhead door opens often.
We'll recommend the right type and size based on how you actually use your garage.
Detached garages and shops
Detached garages often need a longer gas line run from the house, which may be buried. We'll plan the route, size the line for the heater's demand and take care of the permits.
