What is a Propane Space Heater?

An adaptable, efficient way to warm hard-to-reach parts of your home or business

Propane provides some of the most robust, efficient heat of any fuel. It’s also tremendously adaptable. You can power a whole house’s heating, hot water, cooking and other appliances from your on-site propane tank. Alternatively, you can power a single appliance with a small tank or cylinder.

The same is true of space heating. Propane space heaters provide effective warmth for difficult-to-reach spaces, including garages, guest houses and workshops. They come in various sizes and can be used for a range of personal and commercial needs. Since propane is a clean-burning fuel, with minimal carbon dioxide or particulate matter emissions, you can feel comfortable using it to heat your spaces.

Sierra Propane provides space heating and temp heating solutions to customers in Navajo, Apache, Catron, Cibola and Socorro counties. We can help you find a propane space heating solution that’s right for you.

Direct-vent versus unvented propane space heaters

When choosing a space heater for your home, you’ll first need to determine if you need a direct-vent or unvented model. Here’s a brief rundown of the differences between these two products:

• Direct-vent space heaters vent combustion byproducts out of your home. They’re installed with a small pipe through an exterior wall.
• Unvented space heaters do not vent to the outdoors. Instead, they either warm ceramic panels or produce a contained propane flame. These products are less expensive, but they are often subject to regulations and prohibitions on where they can be placed.

Portable propane space heating

Portable propane space heaters do not connect to your home’s stationary propane tank. Instead, they connect to a gas canister or portable propane cylinder. This makes them ideal for campsites or outbuildings like studios or workshops. These products come in a wide range of sizes and produce different heat levels. They also have safety features that automatically shut off if they detect unsafe heat or oxygen depletion.
