Garage Heaters (Radiant Tube) Installation in Thunder Bay — Garages, Shops & Commercial Spaces

Radiant garage heaters work by emitting infrared radiation that directly heats solid objects and people in the space — not just the air. Heat stays where you need it instead of collecting at the ceiling. In large, high-ceiling spaces like garages and warehouses, radiant garage heating is often more efficient than forced-air heating. You feel warm even when the air temperature is lower.

We supply and install gas-fired tube heaters (high-intensity and low-intensity) that run along the ceiling and radiate heat downward — a common solution for shops and commercial bays; electric infrared heaters where gas is not available or for targeted spot heating; and ceiling-mounted radiant panel systems for consistent, zoned coverage.

Radiant garage heaters are a strong fit for automotive garages and mechanic shops where doors open often; agricultural buildings and barns; warehouses; loading docks; industrial spaces; and large residential garages or shops. Any high-ceiling, open space that needs efficient heat is a good candidate.

Forced-air unit heaters heat and circulate air quickly — excellent for enclosed areas where you need fast heat-up. Radiant garage heaters work better with high ceilings, frequent door openings, or when you want to warm people and work areas directly. For very large or open spaces, radiant is often the better choice. We can help you pick one approach or a combination.

Most gas-fired radiant garage heaters need a dedicated natural gas or propane connection. If your building does not have adequate gas service, we can install or extend the gas line as part of your project. See our Gas Line Installation page for more information. Proper gas sizing for radiant tube heaters is critical — we handle it end to end.

Radiant garage heater installation costs vary by heater type, BTU output, number of units, venting, and gas line work. Single gas tube heater projects often start around $2,500–$4,500 all-in. Larger commercial systems with multiple heaters are quoted per project. We provide detailed written quotes based on your building and needs.
