Forced Fan and DSCS series - Reverberray at Advanced Systems Company

When it comes to gas or propane commercial heating we like the Re-Verber-Ray brand by Detroit Radiant heating. Their new PATIO-PAL designer heaters and the all new DSCS series of high intensity infrared heaters are a wonderful choice for home owners and restaurant outdoor space heating.

They have fan forced unit heaters that heat up to 80.000 BTU that will heat up to 1,000 square feet. They also have a decent selection of commercial tube heaters. Their tea of technicians are top-notch, and they understand heating.

Calcana is another source we use for modulating tube heaters. This is beneficial because you can adjust the heat to your needs. Calcana also offers an attractive design in their modulating patio heater that comes in two lengths. The PH40HO five-foot gas heater and the PH75HO 10-foot heater, powered by natural or propane gas. Both are very good, strong adjustable heaters for home and outdoor patios of all sizes.

A frequently asked question asked by customers is: What is the cost to run your average stand-up propane style patio heater compared to a natural gas or ceiling-mounted heater? A very typical gas rate in the US is about $1 per therm. With this fuel price, a 34,000 to 40,000 btu heater cost about $0.34 per hour to operate. Your typical liquid propane stand up portable heater will cost about $1.59 per hour to operate depending on propane price.

A benefit to selecting natural gas heaters is eliminating the hassle of storing tanks because the gas source is from the hard pipe connections. You also use less time because you will not need to drive to exchange out propane tanks. Portable liquid propane heaters do have stronger safety factors to consider.
