Gas Warehouse Unit Heaters
Our gas warehouse unit heaters provide economical heating solutions for warehouses, factories, and industrial facilities, operating on either natural gas or propane to deliver consistent warmth across large open spaces. These ceiling or wall-mounted systems vent directly outside or through existing chimneys to match specific facility requirements and heating loads. Built-in thermostats and temperature controllers allow precise heat output regulation, reducing fuel consumption while maintaining comfortable working conditions.
Industrial Fans Direct offers a comprehensive selection of these heating systems backed by 20 years of technical expertise, helping facility managers and business owners select the right capacity and configuration for their operational needs while minimizing both upfront investment and long-term operating costs through optimized equipment matching and competitive pricing.

Natural gas warehouse heaters provide reliable, cost-efficient warmth for large industrial and commercial spaces where central heating isn't practical or additional supplemental heat is needed. These versatile systems mount on ceilings or walls, venting directly outside or through existing chimneys, and come in various sizes and BTU capacities to match your facility's specific heating requirements. Built-in thermostats and temperature controllers allow precise heat output regulation, making them ideal for warehouses, factories, and other open spaces that require consistent, adjustable warmth.
From compact unit heaters for targeted zone heating to high-capacity systems that maintain comfortable temperatures across expansive facilities, our collection addresses the unique heating challenges faced by warehouse operators, facility managers, and industrial contractors. Industrial Fans Direct combines competitive pricing with expert guidance to help you select the right heating solution that maximizes both comfort and operational efficiency while keeping installation flexible and operation simple.
Propane Shop All Now
Propane warehouse heaters deliver powerful, cost-efficient heating for large industrial spaces where central HVAC systems are impractical or insufficient. They can mount directly to walls or ceilings with flexible venting options through existing chimneys or direct outdoor exhaust. These versatile heating systems range from compact 30,000 BTU units for spot heating loading docks to 125,000 BTU powerhouses that maintain comfortable temperatures across entire manufacturing facilities, each equipped with precision thermostats and temperature controllers for optimal climate management. Industrial Fans Direct can help facility managers match the right BTU capacity, mounting configuration, and control features to their specific square footage, ceiling height, and operational requirements.
How Do I Size Gas Unit Heaters for My Warehouse?
Proper sizing of gas warehouse unit heaters starts with calculating your space's heating load based on your building's cubic area footage, insulation levels, and desired temperature rise. A standard formula multiplies your warehouse's cubic feet by the temperature difference needed, then divides by your building's insulation factor. Most warehouses require 30-50 BTUs per square foot, though facilities with high ceilings, frequent door openings, or minimal insulation may need 60-80 BTUs per square foot. Industrial Fans Direct's technical team can perform detailed heat loss calculations for your specific facility, accounting for factors like climate zone, building materials, and operational patterns to recommend the optimal heater capacity and configuration.
What Are the Operating Costs of Gas Warehouse Heaters?
Gas warehouse unit heaters typically cost 30-50% less to operate than electric alternatives, with natural gas averaging $8-12 per million BTUs compared to $25-35 for equivalent electric heating. Modern units featuring modulating burners and programmable thermostats can reduce fuel consumption by an additional 15-20% through precise temperature control. The actual operating cost depends on local utility rates, usage patterns, and heater efficiency ratings. Units with 80-93% AFUE ratings maximize heat output per dollar spent on fuel. Many facilities recover their initial investment within two heating seasons through reduced energy bills, making gas heaters a smart long-term investment for warehouse operations.
Do Gas Warehouse Heaters Require Special Installation?
Gas warehouse unit heaters require professional installation to meet local building codes and manufacturer specifications. The installation process includes proper venting to exhaust combustion gases, gas line connections meeting NFPA 54 standards, and electrical connections for fan motors and control systems. Most units mount from ceiling structures using threaded rods or brackets, positioning them 10-12 feet above floor level for optimal heat distribution. Clearance requirements vary by model but typically specify 18-24 inches from combustible materials. Industrial Fans Direct provides detailed installation guides and can connect you with certified contractors familiar with our equipment, streamlining the setup process while maintaining safety compliance.
