Sunglo offers three different installation types to choose from, depending on how often or what your space offers will allow you to determine which one is best for you.
Permanent Post
These are fixed patio heaters that are cemented or bolted to the ground and connected directly to a gas line. These units do not move and are usually strategically positioned throughout the patio. This is perfect for restaurant type settings where the units are installed and stay put year-round.
Portable Post
This is perfect for those who want the look and feel of a permanent post but prefer the ability to store the units away when not in use. This Natural Gas portable patio heater would be good for hospitality and residential type settings where they can install when needed and remove the units when not in season.
Portable Propane
These types of Patio heaters have wheels for easy mobility and have a storage cubby to keep the 20lb propane tank hidden from sight. Portable propane heaters are good for applications where seating and gathering areas change often and having the ability to move these units to different locations is key.
PoManual Direct Spark Ignition
This is the simplest ignition type and requires no electrical connections. A push button is located on the heater and is used to light the pilot and turn on the heater.
Automatic Ignition
This is the most convenient ignition type because this heater utilizes an electronic ignition and monitors the heater through flame rectification. The patio heater cannot be manually lit. Heater is turned off/on with electrical switch, timer or other control device by interrupting the 24 VAC supply to the heater. Control device is to be supplied by the installer.
Check out the PSA265VE for this type of ignition type.
Note: the PSA265VE requires an external 24 VAC source that is to be supplied by the installer.
