Infrared Technology

If you want to keep your outdoor space warm in the most effective way possible, then radiant infrared heat is the way to go. Sunpak TSH-Series patio heaters are built around this heating method, which uses safe infrared waves to warm people and objects instead of the surrounding air. On top of preventing heat loss due to wind, this style of heating makes it so that you can direct the heat exactly where you want it and achieve deeper, lasting warmth. Thanks to radiant infrared heat, TSH-Series models can warm an area of about 144 square feet and resist winds up to 10 mph.

Fortunately, Sunpak lets you pair serious heat with style that won’t take away from the look of your outdoor area. TSH-Series units, which are all 48 inches long, come in either black-powder coated or 304 stainless steel finishes and are compatible with bronze, black and stainless steel trim kits that’ll help liven up your patio.

Convenient Controls

It’s one thing to create natural gas and propane outdoor heaters that generate such an efficient level of heat, but Sunpak also allows you to totally harness that heat with a few handy features. The first is easy-to-use electronic ignition, which fires up your heater with one push of a button. TSH-Series units also come with automatic re-ignition and a flame safety sensor that’ll cut off the gas flow to the heater after attempting to re-light an extinguished flame three times.

What really sets these heaters apart, though, is their two-stage setup with both a high (34,000 BTUs) and low (25,000 BTUs) setting that’s controlled by a hardwired wall switch. Because of this heating method, the TSH-Series boasts commercial quality and is perfect for businesses that rely on multi-heater systems to warm their outdoor spaces. As a bonus, the included mounting kit can be positioned between 0 and 30 degrees for a truly customized heating experience.

Things To Consider:

TSH-Series patio heaters should never be installed vertically — instead, make sure you choose a position that’s horizontal to the floor. Installation must also be in a well-ventilated area where air can circulate around the heater. Mounting a TSH-Series unit at an angle will increase the required clearance above the heater, so keep that in mind when picking a spot for it. TSH model patio heaters must be hardwired into a dedicated circuit. Always consult a certified electrician and plumber before installing gas patio heaters. These models carry a one-year residential warranty and a 90-day commercial warranty.
