Sunfire Heaters Anyone?

[John T]

Any first hand opinion on these Sunfire Radiant Heaters?

They claim to be odor free ... runs on diesel/kero etc.

Ima lookin at the 80,000 BTU model for some aux garage heat.

You MUST have a fresh air supply or you will take all the air out of the garage in short order.
And also back up the space with a carbon monoxide detector.

They are great for getting the chill out of the air first thing in the morning before your primary heater gets going.

Running all day sucks, even with air flow.

We used them in a high bay workshop. Yes they put out a lot of heat, they also produce carbon monoxide... odourless ... be careful, note the warnings above.

I have no experience with that brand, however, I have never used a heater that uses Diesel/Kerosene which did not make my eyes water, and give me a splitting headache in short order.

Did someone build a better mousetrap?????…….maybe…….. but I doubt it…..


I have learned that when heating a place/area, I personally have to stick with Natural gas/ Propane/electric for some reason.

Also +1 on the need for fresh air and CO detector….

According to the website, they have near zero carbon monoxide output.
