Flagro Radiant Heaters: Professional Heating Solutions for Canadian Industries

Experience superior heating performance with Flagro radiant heaters, engineered for professionals who demand reliable, efficient warmth in Canada's toughest conditions. From construction sites to commercial facilities, our radiant heating technology delivers targeted heat exactly where you need it.

What Are Radiant Heaters?

Radiant heaters work by emitting infrared energy that directly warms people, equipment, and surfaces, rather than heating the surrounding air. This makes them especially effective in drafty or open environments where warm air would quickly escape. Unlike forced-air systems, radiant heat provides targeted comfort in just minutes, maintaining consistent warmth even in challenging Canadian winter conditions.

Why Choose Flagro Radiant Heaters?

Proven Performance in Harsh Canadian Conditions

Flagro has manufactured quality portable heaters from our St. Catharines, Ontario, facility for over 40 years. Our radiant heaters are specifically designed to withstand Canada's extreme winters, delivering consistent heat when temperatures drop below -20°C.

Fuel Flexibility for Any Application

Choose from propane or natural gas models to match your fuel availability and project requirements. This dual-fuel capability ensures uninterrupted operation even in remote locations.

Rapid Heat Distribution

Infrared radiant technology heats people and objects directly rather than warming air, providing immediate comfort in 3-10 minutes. This targeted approach reduces energy waste and maintains warmth even in drafty, open environments.

Industries That Rely on Flagro Radiant Heaters

Construction Sites

Provide localized warmth for workers and protect materials from freezing. Portable design allows easy repositioning as work progresses.

Commercial & Industrial Settings

Efficiently heat warehouses, workshops, and manufacturing spaces without the energy loss of forced-air systems.

Event & Outdoor Venues

Clean, safe heating for tents and temporary structures. Quiet operation won't interfere with events.

Agricultural Operations

Reliable greenhouse heating and livestock protection during critical periods like birthing season.

Emergency Services

Rapid deployment heating for disaster relief and emergency response situations.

Energy Efficiency & Cost Savings

Lower Operating Costs

Radiant heat typically uses less energy than conventional forced-air systems, reducing your heating bills through targeted heat distribution.

Fuel Efficiency

Thermostatic control prevents overheating, while the filterless design maintains peak performance without clogging or maintenance issues.

Reduced Maintenance

Heavy-duty construction and simplified design minimize service requirements, reducing long-term operating costs.

Safety & Compliance Features

All Flagro radiant heaters meet stringent Canadian safety standards:

Protected Controls: Recessed positioning prevents accidental damage
Clear Safety Guidelines: Comprehensive manuals specify proper installation and clearances

Why Choose Radiant Heat Over Forced Air?

Energy Efficiency Benefits

Radiant heaters typically use 30-50% less energy than conventional forced-air systems because they heat objects directly rather than warming air that can quickly escape.

Improved Comfort

No cold drafts or uneven heating
Quiet operation - no fans or blowers
Instant warmth when you enter the heated area
Better air quality - no dust circulation

Cost-Effective Operation

Lower fuel consumption for equivalent comfort
Reduced maintenance with a filterless design
Longer equipment lifespan due to robust construction

How to Size a Heater

Choosing the right heater size is key to efficient and reliable warmth. To size a heater:

Measure your space in square feet.
Factor in insulation and conditions—drafty areas need more BTUs than well-sealed spaces.
Calculate the BTU requirement by multiplying your square footage by the recommended BTU per square foot for your environment.
Select a heater with reserve capacity to handle sudden temperature drops or air movement.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do radiant heaters use a lot of electricity?

No, radiant heaters typically use less electricity than conventional forced-air systems because they operate at lower temperatures and provide consistent heating without frequent thermostat adjustments.

What is Flagro used for?

Flagro provides temporary heating solutions for construction, commercial, and industrial sectors. For over 40 years, our North American-manufactured products have delivered durable heating for the most demanding applications.

Are radiant heaters worth it?

Yes, radiant heating is more efficient than baseboard heating and usually more efficient than forced-air systems because it eliminates duct losses. People with allergies often prefer radiant heat because it doesn't distribute allergens like forced-air systems.

How long does a radiant heater last?

Electric radiant heating systems can last 30-40 years with proper care. Flagro's robust construction and quality components ensure reliable performance for decades of professional use.

How long does it take a radiant heater to heat a room?

An infrared radiant heater provides direct warmth much faster than air heating. Well-positioned panels create comfortable conditions within 3-10 minutes, with gradual room heating following.

Why do radiant heaters feel warmer than forced-air heaters at the same temperature?

Radiant heaters directly warm objects and people rather than heating air first. Your body absorbs infrared heat immediately, making you feel warmer faster, especially in drafty or open spaces where heated air quickly dissipates.

Can I use a radiant heater in humid areas?

Yes, but ensure the heater is rated for damp environments and installed with proper safety clearances. Look for moisture-resistant models and always follow local codes.

What's the difference between infrared and electric radiant heaters?

All infrared heaters are radiant heaters, but not all radiant heaters are infrared. Infrared heaters emit invisible heat waves that directly warm objects, while other radiant heaters may use different heating elements.

Why do radiant heaters operate silently?

Radiant heaters work without fans, blowers, or moving parts. They emit infrared radiation that travels through air without disturbing it, making them ideal for quiet environments.
