Gas Heaters

Gas heaters are an efficient and economical way to heat any space, including garages, home offices, or even just small areas of a room. There are many sizes and types of propane and natural gas heaters to choose from, so you should be able to find the right gas heater to fit your heating need.

Ever since the first gas heater was mass produced in 1856, people have been utilizing this convenient and affordable method of home and space heating. In the more than 150 years since, there have been great strides in the development of propane and natural gas heating technologies, including various sizes, capacities, and safety features.

Speaking of safety, you cannot consider a propane or natural gas heater with thinking about the importance of safety. Things to consider include:

     •   Size. Determine the capacity gas heater for the size of the area you need to heat. The heater
         should not have to overwork for an area too that’s too big, and it should not be too large for an
         area, to lessen the risk of fire or getting burned.
     •   Ventilation. Natural gas and propane heaters use the air in the room to run the heater. Sufficient
         air circulation and ventilation are important to help prevent the buildup of carbon monoxide, a
         byproduct of the combustion process that allows the heater to operate. Presence of carbon
         monoxide in the air can cause fatigue, nausea, or even death.

When planned for properly and used responsibly, natural gas and propane heaters can keep a room or workspace cozy in even the chilliest of weather, allowing you and your family to work, play, and rest all year round.
