The SunStar Commercial High Output Horizontal Mount Gas Patio Heater delivers powerful radiant heat for large patios, high ceilings, and demanding commercial outdoor environments. Available in 34,000 or 50,000 BTU configurations, this two-stage gas heater is designed for flat, horizontal installations where clearance and coverage matter most. Mounted at zero degrees with an included heat shield and 10-inch fixed mounting kit, this heater maintains safe clearances in tight ceiling conditions. The 48-inch black glass front cabinet blends into upscale outdoor designs while providing wide, even heat coverage. Ideal for dining areas, restaurants, resorts, lounges, bars, and hospitality and commercial seating spaces.
SunStar heaters offer four wall control configurations to match commercial operating needs. The standard wall switch provides simple ON and OFF operation. The wall switch with remote adds handheld control for added convenience. The wall switch with built-in 60-minute timer is a recessed switch option with lumination. It offers LOW and HIGH heat settings with an automatic shutoff for applications that require timed use (available as the standalone switch or switch + remote).
All models share the same heating performance. Choose your heater based on fuel type and control preference:
- Fuel Type: Natural Gas ("N" models) or Propane ("L" models)
