Questions
Frequently Asked About Sunglo
What's the difference between Sunglo and Sunpak?
Both are Texas-made infrared gas patio heaters with permanent-mount commercial-grade construction. Sunglo has been building since 1975; Sunpak since 1995. Sunglo runs higher BTU (40k vs Sunpak's 25-34k); Sunpak has broader residential-friendly configurations. For restaurant builds, both are solid.
Can I install Sunglo myself?
No. Sunglo heaters are hard-wired to gas supply + require licensed gas fitter + electrician for the 120V ignition circuit. Not a DIY install.
Is this the same brand as the Sunglo greenhouse feed company?
No — different company. Sunglo (patio heaters) is a Texas infrared heater manufacturer. The pig-feed Sunglo is unrelated.
