“At Rinnai, we’re committed to Creating a Healthier Way of Living® by strategically expanding our product portfolio into new markets and categories,” said Frank Windsor, President of Rinnai America Corporation. “The launch of our new infrared heaters adds significant impact to our expansion strategy, as it complements our already existing commercial and residential heating portfolio.” 

Outdoor Patio Heating  
Customers can enjoy patios, decks, pool areas and other residential outdoor gathering spaces well into the cooler months with the SE and SE+ Infrared Patio Heaters. Utilizing high intensity infrared technology to heat like the sun, the patio heaters provide even and energy efficient heat distribution. The patio heaters can also mount overhead, saving space for seating.  

“The affordability and performance are ideal for anyone looking to extend the outdoor season, increase revenue and amortize within one or two seasons,” said Dale Schmitz, Marketing Segment Manager at Rinnai.  

The SE and SE+ Infrared Patio Heaters are built to withstand harsh outdoor environments and coastal regions. The heaters are constructed with 316 marine-grade stainless steel to prevent rusting, a patented ceramic tile design that evenly and efficiently distributes heat and built-in gas lines to eliminate portable propane tanks. 

Indoor Garage or Workshop Heating 
Rinnai’s HE Compact Infrared Tube Heater is a great choice for hobbyists. The residential and light commercial garage heater provides radiant comfort for garage and workshop year-round and eliminates condensation that can damage tools. The heater comes preassembled for easy installation right out of the box, operates quietly and works in low clearances. 

Commercial, Industrial, Warehouse and Distribution Heating 
Rinnai’s HE+ Infrared Radiant Tube Heater optimizes heating in large spaces with gas-fired infrared technology, providing more than 85% radiant efficiencies throughout a full range of operation. The heater uses an Electronically Commutated (EC) Motors across the HE+ product line of single-stage, two-stage and modulating infrared tube heaters. 

“Rinnai’s EC motor is more efficient than other motors commonly used in infrared tube heaters,” said Schmitz. “It focuses radiant heat to where it is most required, such as high traffic, occupied areas, unlike forced air systems that heat the entire airspace which can be expensive and inefficient.”
