Unlock the Secret to All-Season Comfort with Sunglo Patio Heaters
Creating the perfect outdoor space for your multifamily property or hospitality business means ensuring comfort, warmth, and inviting aesthetics. Sunglo patio heaters provide exactly that, blending high-quality American craftsmanship with advanced heating technology to deliver unmatched outdoor comfort. For over 50 years, Infrared Dynamics has proudly manufactured Sunglo patio heaters, consistently meeting the demanding needs of outdoor hospitality environments like restaurants, bars, hotels, resorts, and multifamily properties such as apartments and condos.
Unmatched Quality and Craftsmanship
Sunglo patio heaters are meticulously crafted in the USA, showcasing unparalleled quality and attention to detail. Manufactured using premium materials, each patio heater is built to withstand rigorous outdoor use, providing reliable performance year after year. Owners and managers of multifamily residential complexes and hospitality establishments appreciate this durability because it ensures fewer disruptions, lower maintenance costs, and greater long-term value.
Versatile Fuel Options
Most Sunglo heaters are available in both natural gas and propane versions, making it simple to integrate these efficient and powerful outdoor heating solutions into your existing fuel infrastructure. Whether your property is already equipped with natural gas lines or you're seeking the flexibility of propane, Sunglo heaters accommodate your specific needs seamlessly. However, it is important to note that the Sunglo A270 model is available only in liquid propane.
Natural gas heaters offer the convenience of a constant fuel supply, ideal for fixed installations. While propane heaters provide mobility, because they carry their fuel in a propane tank hidden in their base, making them perfect for versatile patio arrangements.
Convenient Ignition Systems
Sunglo patio heaters offer two distinct ignition methods: manual ignition and fully automatic ignition.
Manual Ignition
Manual ignition heaters require lighting the pilot with a long match or stove lighter. While this may seem traditional, it has a significant benefit: simplicity. Manual heaters require no electrical connection, making installation easier, faster, and less expensive. This simplicity is particularly appealing for multifamily complexes or smaller hospitality venues where extensive electrical work could be cumbersome or costly.
Fully Automatic Ignition
For enhanced convenience, Sunglo also provides heaters with fully automatic ignition systems powered by a 24 VAC electrical connection. These heaters can connect either to your property's electric grid or an independent battery power source. Automatic ignition systems enable multiple heaters to be operated effortlessly from a single switch, streamlining the management of larger outdoor areas. Hospitality venues, particularly busy restaurants or event spaces, value this feature greatly, as it saves staff time and effort, ensuring that warmth is consistently available without manual intervention.
Flexible Mounting Solutions
One of Sunglo heaters' standout features is their versatile mounting options, designed to suit any patio layout or operational requirement:
Freestanding Heaters
Freestanding Sunglo heaters combine portability with stability. Mounted on poles supported by wide, heavy bases, these units can easily be relocated as needed. Brackets can be added for additional stability, and a built-in automatic safety shut-off mechanism protects guests and property by immediately turning off the heater if it's accidentally tipped.
Permanent Post Mount Heaters
For spaces requiring a more permanent heating solution, Sunglo offers heaters mounted on sturdy poles embedded directly into the ground. Permanent post mounts eliminate tipping risks entirely, providing consistent warmth for areas with regular foot traffic, such as hotel terraces or apartment community patios.
Suspended Overhead Heaters
The Sunglo Model A244 heater is specially designed for overhead installation. The heater is suspended from sturdy patio structures. By positioning heaters above guests, you maximize available patio space while ensuring even heat distribution. Suspended heaters are perfect for restaurants, resorts, and multifamily rooftop lounges, where maximizing floor space and aesthetics is essential.
Portable Propane Heaters
Only Sunglo's propane models offer true portability. Equipped with wheels and internal propane tanks, these heaters allow flexibility in patio design, accommodating various configurations for events or changing seasons. The portability is especially beneficial for hospitality businesses that frequently rearrange their outdoor spaces for different events or seasonal adjustments.
Optimized Heat Coverage
Sunglo patio heaters efficiently produce a comfortable 10'x10' circle of warmth under normal conditions. Larger patios or expansive outdoor spaces typically require multiple units for complete coverage. Sunglo recommends slightly overlapping the heat zones of multiple heaters to ensure continuous comfort and eliminate any cold spots.
In areas experiencing frequent inclement weather or cooler temperatures, positioning heaters closer together is advised. Detailed guidelines and best practices for placement are available in Sunglo's comprehensive owner manuals (PDF versions of our products' owner manuals are available for free on our website), providing clear and practical advice for optimizing your patio heater arrangement.
AEI can provide personalized heat map diagrams and detailed heating plans tailored specifically to your patio or outdoor space. Our expert team evaluates your property's layout, considers environmental conditions, and strategically positions heaters to ensure optimal warmth, comfort, and coverage.
Effective Infrared Heating
Sunglo patio heaters harness infrared technology, delivering heat directly to people rather than heating the surrounding air. This method of heating is notably resistant to wind, making Sunglo heaters ideal for open-air environments prone to breezes or gusts. Infrared heat provides consistent comfort, warming your guests immediately upon activation, even on cooler evenings.
Elegant Finish Options
Understanding that aesthetics matter greatly to hospitality businesses and upscale multifamily properties, Sunglo heaters come in three attractive finishes:
- Black (PSA265B, PSA265V E, A242B, A270BK)
- Stainless Steel (PSA265SS, PSA265VSS E, A242SS, A270SS)
- Wrought Iron (A244, A244V E)
Each finish enhances patio décor, complementing various outdoor furniture styles and design themes. Whether you're managing a luxury resort, an urban rooftop bar, or an apartment community, these finishes ensure that your outdoor heaters contribute positively to the overall visual appeal of your property.
