A cold garage gets old fast. Reid Pro installs gas garage heaters and shop heaters across Lethbridge and Southern Alberta, and our licensed gasfitters handle the gas line, the venting, and the permit, so your garage, workshop, or shop is usable all winter.
Garage Heater Installation
Gas unit heaters for attached and detached garages, hung up out of the way and sized for the space. We install quality units from makers like Reznor and Modine, from compact single-bay heaters to larger garages.
Shop and Workshop Heaters
Heat for hobby shops, farm shops, outbuildings, and light commercial spaces. For bigger buildings and high ceilings we also install infrared tube heaters, including Calcana.
Gas Line and Venting Included
A garage heater is only as good as the install behind it. We run and size the gas line, vent the heater to the manufacturer's specs, set up the thermostat, and test everything before we fire it up.
Permits and Inspections Handled
In Lethbridge, garage heaters and unit heaters are installed under a gas permit, and only a certified gasfitter can get one. Our team pulls the permit and books the inspections, so there's nothing for you to chase down.
Service and Repairs
Garage heater not lighting, or not keeping up the way it used to? We service and repair gas heaters as well as install them.
Need a gas line for something else, like a BBQ, stove, or fireplace? See gas fitting. For the furnace in the house, see furnace repair and furnace replacement.
Unit Heater or Infrared Tube Heater?
Two good ways to heat a garage or shop. Which one fits depends on the size of the space, the ceiling height, and how you use it.
Gas Unit Heater
- Hangs from the ceiling and blows warm air through the space
- Brings a cold garage up to temperature quickly
- Compact, so it suits attached garages and smaller shops
- The most common choice for a home garage
Infrared Tube Heater
- Radiant heat that warms the floor, vehicles, and tools directly
- Holds up well in shops where big doors open and close a lot
- Well suited to larger buildings and high ceilings
- Quiet, with no fan blowing dust around
Plan ahead
Book Before the Cold Hits
Fall is when everybody remembers the garage is cold. Planning your heater install before the rush means it's in and running before the first real cold snap, instead of waiting in line in January.
Tell us about the space and we'll recommend the right heater and give you a clear price.
Garage Heater FAQs
What size garage heater do I need?
It depends on the size of the garage, how well it's insulated, the ceiling height, and how warm you want it. We size the heater for your space when we quote.
Can I install a gas garage heater myself?
Not the gas side. In Lethbridge, garage heaters and unit heaters are installed under a gas permit, and only a certified gasfitter can get one. We handle the gas line, venting, permit, and inspections.
Can you heat a detached garage or shop?
Yes. We install heaters in attached and detached garages, workshops, and outbuildings, and run the gas line the heater needs.
Should I get a unit heater or an infrared tube heater?
Unit heaters suit most home garages and smaller shops. Infrared tube heaters work well in larger buildings, high ceilings, and shops where the doors open often. We'll recommend the right one for how you use the space.
When is the best time to book a garage heater install?
Early fall, before the rush. Once the cold arrives, everyone wants one at the same time.
Do you install garage heaters outside Lethbridge?
Yes. We cover Coaldale, Coalhurst, Picture Butte, Raymond, Magrath, Nobleford, Stirling, Fort Macleod, and the farms and acreages in between.
