Infrared Ceiling Mounted Heaters

Yes, infrared tube and high-intensity heaters are designed for ceiling or high-bay mounting, freeing up valuable floor space and keeping heating elements safely out of reach of forklifts and machinery. Models like the Reflect-O-Ray and Omega II series are engineered specifically for suspended installation in warehouses, hangars, and industrial buildings.

Combustion Research offers units ranging from 30,000 BTU/hr up to 250,000 BTU/hr, covering spaces from 500 sq ft to over 1 million sq ft. The right size depends on ceiling height, insulation, air changes, and desired temperature rise—our team offers free heat loss calculations to size systems accurately.

Units operate on natural gas, propane (LP), or fuel oil, depending on the model. The Reflect-O-Ray OIL EDS is designed for off-grid or rural sites without natural gas access, while most Omega II and Synergy models run on natural gas or propane for flexible installation.

It depends on the system type. Vacuum-fired and power-vented tube heaters like the Reflect-O-Ray and Omega II series require flue venting to exhaust combustion byproducts, while high-intensity Synergy heaters require no direct venting, reducing roof penetrations and simplifying retrofit installations.

Combustion Research backs its low-intensity tube heaters with a 10-year warranty on radiant tubes against internally created corrosion, plus a 3-year warranty on ignition controls and electrical components. Synergy high-intensity heaters carry a 1-year limited manufacturer warranty.

Low-intensity tube heaters (Reflect-O-Ray, Omega II) use long radiant tubes and reflectors for gentle, even heat across large open areas like warehouses. High-intensity heaters (Synergy) use ceramic burners for instant, focused radiant heat ideal for spot heating docks, entrances, and protected outdoor areas.
