Gas Space Heater
Installation
Direct-vent gas space heaters deliver reliable, efficient heat to a single room or zone, perfect for additions, garages, sunrooms, basements, and homes without ductwork. We install Rinnai, Empire, Williams, and other leading brands.
When a Space Heater Makes Sense
Home Additions
Extending ductwork to an addition is often impractical. A direct-vent gas space heater delivers targeted heat to the new space without touching your main system.
Garages & Workshops
Heat your garage or shop to comfortable working temperature without running ducts or raising your whole-home heating load. Great for hobbyists and cold-weather projects.
Sunrooms & Three-Season Rooms
Convert a three-season room to year-round use with a wall-mounted gas space heater. Thermostatic control keeps it comfortable without heating unused spaces.
Backup Heat / Cold Zones
Basement apartments, in-law suites, and always-cold corners of older homes benefit from a dedicated space heater. It's cheaper than rebalancing ducts or zoning the whole house.
Safe, Efficient, Sealed Combustion
The gas space heaters we install are direct-vent, sealed-combustion units. They draw combustion air from outside through a concentric vent and exhaust outside through the same vent. No indoor air is used for combustion, no backdrafting, dramatically reduced carbon monoxide risk, and no ceiling or attic venting needed. Units mount on an exterior wall and vent directly through it for a clean install with no chimney required.

Gas Space Heater FAQ
Is a gas space heater safe indoors?
The direct-vent, sealed-combustion units we install are very safe. They bring combustion air in from outside and exhaust outside through the same concentric vent, so no combustion air or exhaust ever mixes with your indoor air. Non-vented space heaters are a different product and we don't recommend them for residential use.
Can a space heater be my only heat source?
For a small addition or apartment, yes, if sized correctly. For a whole house, a central system is more efficient and more comfortable. We'll help you figure out which approach fits your space and budget.
How efficient are gas space heaters?
Modern direct-vent gas space heaters are 75-82% efficient. Not as efficient as a high-efficiency furnace or boiler, but because they heat only the space you're in, they often cost less to run than zoning a central system.
Do I need to run a new gas line?
Usually yes. If there's an existing gas line nearby (water heater, stove, furnace) we can often tap off that. If not, we run a new line with proper sizing and pressure testing as part of the installation.
Will it work with propane?
Yes. All the models we install come in both natural gas and propane versions. If you're converting from NG to LP (or vice versa), we install the correct orifices and set gas pressure during installation.
Gas Space Heater Installation
We size the right space heater for your room or zone, run the gas line, and install the unit with a direct vent through the wall. Licensed gas fitters, professional installation, workmanship guarantee.
