Product Summary
The Heat Storm Infrared tripod and heater combo is an affordable option for quickly heating small spaces such as a garage, patio, or shed. The heater arrives ready to use—just attach to the tripod and plug in!
This heater features a tip-over safety switch, meaning the unit will only accept power if it is in the intended orientation. This is a useful safety feature for protecting your space, but it does prevent ceiling mounting for the unit by itself. Heat Storm sells additional mounting options for an added cost.
At 5200 BTU output, this is a great heater for smaller spaces. It is important to note that there is no temperature control, so this heater should not be left unattended for extended periods of time.
