Heat Star f170800 Portable Radiant Heater 125000 Btu/h

Product Description

The HEAT STAR f170800 is a portable radiant heater rated at 125,000 BTU/h, designed for temporary or supplemental heating in job sites, warehouses, barns, garages, and similar large open spaces. Radiant heaters of this class deliver infrared heat directly to objects and people in the line of sight rather than warming the air, making them effective in drafty or partially open environments. At 17 inches in height, the unit is sized for easy transport and repositioning between work areas. This type of heater is typically set up by contractors, tradespeople, or facility maintenance personnel who need fast, directed heat without permanent installation.

The f170800 suits residential and light commercial applications where temporary heat is needed during construction, renovation, or cold-weather work. Common scenarios include concrete curing, drywall finishing, paint applications, or general worker comfort in unheated structures. The portable form factor allows the unit to move with the crew as work progresses through a building or site.
