The SunStar Horizontal Mount Gas Patio Heater delivers efficient radiant infrared heat for patios, restaurants, and outdoor living spaces that require low-profile ceiling installation. Available in 24,000 or 35,000 BTU configurations, this two-stage heater is designed for fixed horizontal mounting and provides direct warmth to people and surfaces rather than heating the surrounding air. Mounted at zero degrees with a required clearance shield and 10-inch fixed mounting kit, this heater maintains safe clearances in tighter patio layouts. The glass front face blends into most décor, while the compact 48-inch length integrates easily along beams, soffits, and ceiling structures. Ideal for covered patios, pergolas, outdoor kitchens, and restaurant seating areas.
SunStar heaters are available with four wall control configurations so you can choose the setup that fits your space. 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, control preference, and finish:
- Fuel Type: Natural Gas ("N" models) or Propane ("L" models)
- Control Type: Wall switch only ("7" models) or wall switch plus wireless remote ("10" models)
- Finish: SGL black glass-front steel cabinet or MGL 316 marine-grade stainless steel cabinet
