Infrared heating warms people and surfaces directly, not the air. This makes it faster, more efficient, and better suited for large, drafty commercial spaces than traditional forced-air systems.

Yes. Infrared tube heaters and high-bay systems are designed specifically for tall, open spaces where heated air from traditional systems would rise and be wasted.

Typically yes. Infrared heats occupied areas directly and avoids duct losses, stratification, and warm-air displacement—helping reduce overall energy costs.

With proper installation and maintenance, most commercial infrared heaters last 10–20 years. Longevity depends on usage, environment, and routine service.

Maintenance needs are minimal. Routine service usually includes cleaning reflectors, checking combustion, inspecting tubes and burners, and verifying safety controls.

Yes. When mounted with correct clearances, vented properly, and equipped with flame safety systems, infrared heaters are safe for warehouses, garages, and industrial facilities.

Sizing depends on ceiling height, building layout, insulation, work zones, and usage. A professional evaluation ensures correct heater type, output, and placement.

Yes. Most commercial infrared systems can connect to BMS platforms like BACnet, Modbus, or Prolon for zoned scheduling, monitoring, and energy optimization.

Common retrofits include emitter and reflector upgrades, control replacements, improved zoning, new mounting layouts, and conversions from forced-air unit heaters.

Infrared heaters provide warmth almost immediately because they radiate heat directly to people and surfaces without needing to warm the air first.

Infrared tube heaters work well in medium to high-bay settings—typically 12–40 feet—depending on heater output, spacing, and the heat pattern needed.

Most infrared heaters need annual service, including burner inspection, gas pressure verification, combustion checks, and cleaning of reflectors or tubes.

Yes. ETS designs and installs infrared heating systems for warehouses, garages, loading docks, hangars, and industrial environments. We engineer solutions tailored to ceiling height, layout, zoning needs, and heat coverage.

ETS services, repairs, and maintains commercial infrared heating systems across Central Ohio—including Columbus, Pataskala, Gahanna, Worthington, New Albany, Johnstown, and Lewis Center.

Yes. ETS provides preventive maintenance programs that include combustion testing, cleaning, safety checks, and performance tuning to keep systems efficient and reliable.

Signs include weak or uneven heat, yellow flames, soot deposits, delayed ignition, noisy operation, corrosion on burners or reflectors, and systems older than 15 years.
