Infrared Radiant Tube Heaters for Sale

Vacuum-fired systems (like Reflect-O-Ray) use an exhauster to draw combustion gases through the tube for high efficiency in large spaces. Power-vented units (Omega II) use a blower for straightforward installation. Unvented Synergy heaters require no direct venting or roof penetrations, offering instant heat for protected indoor or outdoor areas.

Gas-fired infrared radiant tube heaters typically deliver 30-50% energy savings over conventional forced-air heating systems, since they heat objects and occupants directly rather than the entire air volume. Savings vary based on ceiling height, building envelope, insulation, and how the system is sized and installed.

BTU requirements depend on ceiling height, square footage, insulation levels, and desired temperature rise. Available models range from 30,000 to 250,000 BTU/hr, with dual-stage and modulating options for variable loads. Manufacturer heat-loss calculation services can help size a system correctly for your space.

Stainless steel burner housings and tubing are recommended for corrosive or high-humidity environments such as natatoriums, car wash bays, chemical processing plants, and ice arenas, where chloramine, road salt, or moisture would otherwise shorten equipment life. Powder-coated units are suitable for standard warehouse and industrial environments.

Most systems run on natural gas or propane (LP) gas, with select models such as the Reflect-O-Ray OIL EDS available in oil-fired configurations for rural or off-grid facilities without natural gas access. Fuel type should be confirmed against local utility availability and code requirements.

Radiant tubes are covered by a 10-year warranty against internally created corrosion, while burner controls, ignition components, and electrical parts typically carry a 1 to 3-year warranty depending on the model. Specific warranty terms are outlined in each product's owner's manual and submittal documentation.
