Synergy Ceramic

High-intensity ceramic gas infrared heaters for spot and zone heating, reaching maximum operating temperature in under one minute for work cells, loading docks, protected outdoor areas, and service applications.

Serengeti-IR

Compact 40K-60K BTU power-vented radiant tube heaters for smaller commercial, light industrial, and agricultural spaces needing proven dry-tube technology in a scaled-down package.

Warehouse Heating

Application-specific radiant heating systems for warehouses and distribution centers, designed to heat occupied levels directly while improving recovery during loading-dock door cycles.

Specialty Facilities

Gas-fired radiant infrared systems engineered for hangars, service bays, CNG maintenance areas, military facilities, ice arenas, and other high-bay or code-sensitive specialty environments.

Engineered Heat

Efficient Heat for Demanding Facilities

Gas Radiant Heaters from Combustion Research Corporation are engineered for demanding commercial environments where forced air wastes energy and struggles to recover. By warming occupied surfaces instead of unused ceiling air, CRC systems improve comfort, reduce operational costs, and support safer layouts with ceiling-mounted equipment. Multiple configurations, fuel options, stainless construction choices, and specification support help match each system to the facility.

Proven Performance

Trusted Applications

Specified across demanding commercial, industrial, agricultural, military, and specialty facilities throughout North America.

"Our 16-bay garage runs with doors opening constantly, so keeping students comfortable through Connecticut winters was a real challenge. Reflect-O-Ray units installed over each bay solved it. The concrete floor acts as a heat sink, absorbing and re-radiating warmth back into the space, so students feel warm at lower thermostat..."

Ella T. Grasso Technical School

"We chose a two-stage Omega II 30-ft low intensity tube system for our new two-story hospital, and it's been the right call. The 60,000–100,000 MBH output keeps our rear operating area genuinely comfortable, not just warm air blowing around. Our concrete slab absorbs and re-radiates the heat, so the space..."

Fenton River Veterinary Hospital

"Hangars are the hardest buildings to heat. High bay, minimal insulation, and a massive overhead door that dumps cold air in every time it opens. Forced air simply couldn't keep up without burning through energy. Ten 40-foot straight tubes at 150 MBH with reflectors changed that completely. Radiant heat warms..."

Tac Air – Bradley International Airport

"Heating a 120-yard indoor field under a 65-foot domed roof is not a standard job, and Reflect-O-Ray was the only system engineers felt could be tailored to it. Twelve 360,000 B/H burners firing 140-foot tubes condition the entire space efficiently. Infrared fit directly into our campus energy conservation standards and..."

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the advantages of gas fired radiant heaters?

Gas fired radiant heaters deliver heat directly to floors, equipment, inventory, vehicles, and people instead of heating the air column first. That makes them highly effective in high-bay buildings, leaky envelopes, and facilities with frequent door cycles. Combustion Research systems can reduce operating costs by 30-50% compared with forced air, preserve floor space, and avoid stirring up dust or pathogens.
