Garage Heater Installation in Thunder Bay

We install the three most practical garage heating options for Thunder Bay: gas-fired unit heaters that deliver powerful forced-air heat quickly and efficiently; infrared radiant heaters that heat objects and occupants directly without heating all the air first — ideal for large, open shops; and forced-air propane heaters for garages without natural gas access. We'll recommend the right type based on your space size, insulation, and usage patterns.

A home garage and a commercial shop have very different heating requirements. A standard two-car home garage typically needs 30,000–50,000 BTU of heating capacity. A commercial bay, warehouse, or mechanic shop may require 75,000–200,000+ BTU depending on ceiling height, insulation, and door frequency. We properly size every system using load calculations — not guesswork.

Most gas garage heater installations require a dedicated gas line run to the garage. If your garage doesn't already have gas service, we can install one safely and to Ontario code as part of your project. See our Gas Line Installation page for more information. Having the gas line in place before winter is always the smart move.

Our garage heater installation process covers everything: site assessment and BTU sizing, heater selection and quote, gas line connection (if required), unit mounting and venting, electrical connection for controls, and a full performance test before we leave. We handle the full scope so your heater is operational and safe.

Garage heater installation costs in Thunder Bay generally range from $1,800 to $5,000+ depending on the heater type, BTU output, venting requirements, and whether a new gas line is needed. We provide clear, all-in quotes so you know exactly what to expect.
