Reznor Heaters

Reznor is a trusted name in industrial and commercial heating, known for its durable and high-performance gas-fired heaters. These heaters are designed to warm large spaces such as warehouses, factories, garages, and car wash bays during the colder months. Engineered to thrive in demanding environments, Reznor space heaters deliver consistent, reliable heat where you need it to ensure smooth operations and prevent costly damage caused by freezing temperatures.

In car wash settings, keeping equipment and your customers warm is crucial. Reznor heaters help maintain a comfortable temperature in your self-serve bays, encouraging customers to spend more time washing their vehicles. By preventing equipment from freezing, these heaters safeguard your operations, reducing the risk of burst pipes and mechanical failures during winter. Additionally, by preventing ice from forming in your bays, Reznor space heaters minimize the risk of slips and falls, promoting a safer experience for your customers.

Designed to meet the unique challenges of car washes and a variety of other industries, Reznor heaters offer efficient, reliable heating that helps protect your investment and maintain seamless operations all year long.

How to Choose the Right Size Reznor Heater

Room Size: Measure the length, width, and height of the space to determine square footage and cubic feet.
Insulation Quality: Well-insulated spaces require less heat to maintain a comfortable temperature. If your space has poor insulation, you’ll need a larger heater.
Insulation grades:
- Well-insulated: New buildings with proper sealing.
- Moderately insulated: Older buildings with some insulation.
- Poorly insulated: Open areas like car washes that experience drafts.
Desired Temperature Increase: Consider the temperature difference between the outside and your target indoor temperature.
BTU Calculation: Use the formula:
- BTUs required = Cubic Feet × Desired Temperature Rise (°F) × Insulation Factor
  - Insulation factors: Good (0.25), Average (0.5), Poor (1.0).
Industry-Specific Needs: For car washes, you’ll want to consider the constant exposure to water and drafts, so opting for a slightly larger unit might be beneficial to counteract heat loss.
Select Heater Based on BTUs: Compare your calculated BTUs to Reznor heater models to choose the right one.

Key Purchase Considerations for Reznor Heaters:

Size and Space Requirements: Ensure the heater fits your designated space and meets clearance requirements.
Fuel Type: Consider the price and availability of natural gas and propane. Also, be sure to understand the implications of installing a conversion kit. This is important should you wish to change fuel type without purchasing a new heater.
Installation Requirements: Assess installation needs, including venting, electrical supply, and permits. You might want to have a professional consultant analyze the space.
Efficiency Ratings: Look for high-efficiency ratings (e.g., AFUE) to reduce operating costs.
Noise Level: Consider how noisy the heater will be, especially for customer comfort in car washes and other customer-oriented businesses.
Control Features: Evaluate options like programmable thermostats and smart integration to make it easy to use.
Safety Features: Check for automatic shut-off, flame sensors, and overheat protection.
Maintenance Needs: Consider the frequency of maintenance and whether it can be done in-house.
Warranty and Support: Review warranty terms and the availability of customer support.
Cost and Budget: Balance initial purchase price, installation costs, and long-term operating expenses.

Key Implications of Converting Your Gas Fired Reznor Heater to Propane

Fuel Efficiency and Output: Propane has a higher energy content than natural gas, so adjustments are needed for efficient performance after conversion.
Equipment Adjustments: Conversion kits modify the burner, valves, and pressure regulator to accommodate propane’s higher pressure.
Safety Considerations: Propane is heavier than air, so proper ventilation and gas leak detectors are essential for safety.
Cost of Fuel: Propane is generally more expensive than natural gas but may be more efficient and practical in areas without gas infrastructure.
Environmental Impact: Propane burns cleaner, producing fewer emissions compared to natural gas.
Operational Reliability: Propane is more reliable in remote areas where natural gas is unavailable but requires on-site storage.
Maintenance: Regular service is needed, as propane burns hotter and may cause more wear on certain components.
Regulatory Requirements: Check local regulations for permits or inspections when converting fuel types.
