SunStar
Infrared outdoor gas heaters for residential + commercial patios.
The Story
SunStar builds commercial-grade infrared gas patio heaters with a focus on energy-efficient radiant heat. Mounted and portable configurations across their lineup, with natural gas + propane options for every unit.
The brand runs on parts quality — brass burners, stainless-steel heat exchangers, powder-coated aluminum housings. Not a disposable patio heater brand.

Every model ships in natural gas and propane variants. Order the fuel type for your install at purchase.
03
Commercial-grade construction
Brass burners, stainless heat exchangers. Built for 10-year service lives in restaurant patios.
Questions
Frequently Asked About SunStar
Mounted vs. portable SunStar — which is right for me?
Mounted (hard-wired to NG or LP line) for permanent patios where you don't want to roll a heater in and out. Portable (LP tank + wheels) for seasonal use + patios without gas plumbing.
How does SunStar compare to Sunpak and Sunglo?
All three are commercial-grade infrared gas heater brands. SunStar is positioned at a slightly lower price point than Sunglo (the 1975-vintage pioneer) while matching the construction standards. Fuel + BTU tiers overlap heavily — pick on availability + price.
Does SunStar come with a warranty?
Yes — SunStar backs its heaters with a limited manufacturer warranty on the burner + heat exchanger. Terms vary by model; call us for the exact warranty on the SKU you're considering.
