Garage Heater Installation in Edmonton

When you work with our team, you get code-compliant installation by licensed gas technicians who understand both the local climate and Alberta safety requirements for gas-fired equipment. We help you choose the right system, handle all gas and venting work, and optimize your setup for efficient, reliable heat in the months you need it most.

Garage Heater Installation Cost

The cost of a garage heater installation in Edmonton varies based on a few key factors rather than a single set price. It depends on the type of heater you choose (unit heater or tube heater), the size and insulation level of your garage, how much gas line, venting, and electrical work is required, and whether any permits or inspections are needed.

Why Heat Your Garage in Edmonton?

Edmonton winters often mean weeks of sub-zero temperatures, heavy snow, and bitter windchill that seep straight through uninsulated garage doors and concrete floors. That cold doesn’t just make the garage uncomfortable – it can be hard on your vehicle, tools, stored items, and any plumbing that runs through or over the garage.

A properly heated garage helps you:

• Protect your vehicle from deep cold starts, ice buildup, and premature wear.
• Keep tools, finishes, and stored items from freezing or being damaged by moisture.
• Create a comfortable workshop, home gym, or hobby space you can actually use in January.
• Reduce cold air migration into rooms above or beside the garage, improving whole-home comfort.

For many Edmonton homeowners, a garage heater installation is less about “luxury” and more about making an important part of the home usable for more than just summer.

Types of Garage Heaters We Install

We install two main types of garage heaters for Edmonton homes:

• Unit heaters: Ceiling-mounted gas heaters that blow warm air across the garage for fast, even heating.
• Tube heaters: Infrared radiant heaters that warm vehicles, tools, and floors directly, ideal for workshops and high-ceiling garages.

Our technicians look at garage size, ceiling height, insulation, door type, and how you plan to use the space before suggesting a specific make, model, and BTU rating.

Every Garage Heater Installation Includes

• Securely mount the unit heater from the ceiling, positioned for safe clearances and optimal airflow throughout the garage.
• Install and terminate a 4-inch stainless steel vent through the exterior wall to safely exhaust combustion gases outside.
• Run and connect the gas line to the unit heater in accordance with code and manufacturer specifications.
• Install a dedicated gas shut-off valve at the heater connection point for safe servicing and emergency isolation.
• Complete all low-voltage thermostat wiring and connections between the heater and control location.
• Supply and install a Honeywell digital, heat-only thermostat for precise temperature control in the garage.
• Make all necessary electrical connections and provide a disconnect, tying into the existing garage receptacle (where suitable and compliant).
• Start up and commission the heater, verify safe operation, and leave the workspace clean and free of debris.
