Heat Star f170850 Portable Radiant Heater 125000 Btu/h

Product Description

The HEAT STAR f170850 is a portable radiant heater rated at 125,000 BTU/h, designed for job-site and temporary heating applications. Radiant heaters of this output class transfer heat directly to surfaces and occupants without relying on forced air, making them effective in open or drafty spaces where convective heaters lose efficiency. At 17 inches in height, this unit is compact enough to move between work areas while delivering high heat output. It is typically installed or positioned by HVAC technicians, construction crews, or facility maintenance personnel needing reliable supplemental or temporary heat.

The f170850 is suited for residential construction sites, commercial renovation projects, warehouses, garages, and other large open spaces requiring portable spot heating. Its radiant output at 125,000 BTU/h is appropriate for high-ceiling or open-air environments where maintaining ambient temperature across a large volume is the primary objective. This unit is intended for temporary or supplemental heating duty and is not a permanent fixed installation.

Key Features

• 125,000 BTU/h radiant heat output for large open-area coverage
• Portable design allows repositioning between job-site locations
• Compact 17-inch height for easy handling and transport
