Radiant Propane Tube Heaters

Yes, propane radiant tube heaters are highly efficient, often delivering 30-50% energy savings over conventional forced-air systems. Because they heat objects and people directly rather than the surrounding air, less energy is lost through ceiling stratification, especially in high-bay warehouses, hangars, and service garages.

The 'best' radiant heater depends on your facility's ceiling height, BTU requirements, and environment. Vacuum-fired dry tube systems like Reflect-O-Ray excel in high-bay spaces, while power-vented Omega II units suit compact installations. Stainless steel models are ideal for corrosive, humid environments such as natatoriums and wash bays.

BTU requirements depend on ceiling height, insulation, climate, and square footage. Our systems range from 30,000 to 250,000 BTU/hr per unit, with custom heat loss calculations available to size the right combination of heaters for your space.

Yes, nearly all models in this lineup are dual-fuel capable, operating on either natural gas or propane (LP) gas, allowing flexibility for facilities without natural gas service.

Vacuum-fired systems use an exhauster to pull combustion gases through the tube run, allowing longer tube lengths and custom configurations for large spaces. Power-vented units push exhaust through a shorter, self-contained tube assembly, making them easier to install in smaller or standalone applications.

Stainless steel construction is recommended for corrosive or high-humidity environments such as natatoriums, wash bays, ice arenas, and chemical processing facilities, where chloramine, road salt, or moisture would corrode standard aluminized steel components over time.
