Sunglo A244 Hanging Natural Gas Patio Heater

The Sunglo A244 Hanging Natural Gas Patio Heater is a powerful, space-saving outdoor heating solution designed for overhead installation in patios, restaurants, and covered outdoor areas. Delivering 50,000 BTUs of infrared radiant heat, this heater warms people and surfaces directly providing consistent comfort even in open-air environments.

Unlike traditional freestanding heaters, the A244 is mounted from above, freeing up valuable floor space while distributing heat evenly across seating areas. This makes it an ideal solution for commercial patios, dining spaces, and high-traffic environments.
