Mr. Heater Radiant Heaters for Industrial Applications

Mr. Heater Radiant Heaters: Professional Heating Solutions for Demanding Applications

Professional contractors and facility operators need reliable heating equipment that delivers consistent performance in challenging conditions.

Mr. Heater radiant heaters provide the powerful, efficient warmth required for construction sites, warehouses, workshops, and industrial facilities across North America.

What Makes Radiant Heating Different?

Radiant heaters work by emitting infrared energy that directly warms people and objects rather than heating air. This technology offers several key advantages:

Immediate warmth - Feel heat instantly without waiting for air to warm up
Energy efficiency - Direct heating reduces energy waste by up to 50%
Wind resistance - Effective heating even in drafty or open environments
Silent operation - No fans or blowers to create noise or air circulation

Understanding Radiant Heater Technology

How Radiant Heaters Work

Radiant heaters emit infrared radiation similar to sunlight. This energy travels through air without heating it, then converts to warmth when it contacts solid surfaces. The result is efficient, comfortable heat that works immediately.

Radiant vs. Forced Air Heating

Feature	Radiant Heat	Forced Air
Heat delivery	Direct to objects/people	Heats the air first
Wind resistance	Excellent	Poor
Energy efficiency	High	Moderate
Noise level	Silent	Noisy fans
Air quality	No dust circulation	Moves airborne particles

How to Choose the Right Mr. Heater Model for You

Selecting the correct heater ensures safety, efficiency, and comfort. Follow these steps to find the perfect fit.

1. Assess Your Space and Needs

First, determine where you will use the heater. Is it for a large, uninsulated workshop or a smaller, enclosed garage? For temporary job sites, a portable propane model like the MH125LP offers flexibility. For a permanent gas radiant heater for a garage, a fixed overhead tube heater is more efficient.

2. Determine Your Fuel Source

Your choice between propane and natural gas will impact both portability and long-term cost.

Propane: Ideal for portability and locations without access to a gas line. Perfect for emergency use and remote sites.
Natural Gas: A cost-effective solution for permanent installations where a utility line is available, such as a garage or workshop.

3. Calculate Your Required Heat Output (BTU)

To properly size your heater, you need to calculate the required BTUs. A general rule for workshops or garages is:

Well-insulated spaces: Multiply the square footage by 30–35 BTU.
Poorly-insulated or drafty spaces: Multiply the square footage by 40–50 BTU.

For a 1,500 sq. ft. poorly-insulated shop, you would need approximately 60,000–75,000 BTU. Always round up to ensure you have enough power for the coldest days.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are radiant heaters?

Radiant heaters use infrared radiation to heat objects and people directly, rather than just the air around them. This process is similar to how the sun provides warmth, making it a very efficient way to heat open or poorly insulated spaces.

Are Mr. Heater radiant heaters safe to use?

Yes. Mr. Heater models come with multiple safety features. For example, portable models like the MH125LP include a tip-over switch that automatically shuts the unit off if it’s knocked over, as well as a thermoelectric safety valve. Indoor-safe models like the Buddy series feature an Oxygen Depletion Sensor (ODS). Always follow the manufacturer's instructions and local regulations.

Can I use a Mr. Heater radiant heater in my home garage?

It depends on the model. High-output units like the MH125LP are not for residential indoor use. However, Mr. Heater offers many other options, including overhead natural gas radiant garage heaters and CSA-certified indoor-safe portable units that are perfect for home garages and workshops. Always check the product specifications and certifications.

Propane vs. Natural Gas: Which is better for my heater?

Propane offers greater portability, making it ideal for job sites or locations without a fixed gas line. Natural gas is generally more cost-effective for permanent installations and eliminates the need to refill tanks. The best choice depends on your specific application and access to utilities.
