Warehouse Infrared Radiant Heaters

Vacuum-fired systems use a central exhauster to draw combustion gases through the tube run, allowing longer custom configurations ideal for large warehouses. Power-vented units use a built-in blower for self-contained venting, simplifying installation in smaller or standalone spaces. Both deliver 30-50% energy savings over conventional forced-air heating systems.

Yes. Most Reflect-O-Ray, Omega II, and Synergy models are available configured for either natural gas or propane (LP) fuel, giving facilities flexibility based on available utilities. This makes infrared radiant heating practical for rural sites without natural gas service, as well as urban warehouses connected to municipal gas lines. Fuel type is specified during system design.

It depends on the system type. Vacuum-fired Reflect-O-Ray systems use a central exhauster and vent stack, typically requiring one roof penetration for multiple heaters. Power-vented Omega II units vent individually through a sidewall or roof cap. Synergy heaters require no direct venting at all, reducing roof penetrations and installation costs.

Combustion Research infrared tube heaters typically reduce heating costs by 30-50% compared to forced-air furnaces, since radiant heat warms objects and occupants directly rather than heating and re-heating large volumes of air. Facilities with high ceilings, frequent door openings, or drafty conditions often see the greatest savings.

All radiant tube systems include a 10-year warranty against internally created corrosion on the radiant tubes, plus a separate 3-year warranty covering burner components, ignition controls, and electrical parts. Warranty terms may vary slightly by model and are backed by over 50 years of manufacturing experience.

Stainless steel burner housings and reflectors are recommended for corrosive or humid environments such as car washes, natatoriums, ice arenas, and chemical processing facilities where road salt, chlorine, or moisture would degrade standard powder-coated components. For typical dry warehouses, standard powder-coated construction provides reliable, cost-effective performance.
