6 outdoor patio heater brands we work on
When a patio heater fails at an LA-area property, our techs at Same Day Appliance Repair trace it to a handful of patterns: on gas units (Bromic, Sunpak, Schwank) it's usually a thermocouple or pilot-ignition fault, gas-valve service, or wind-related flame instability; on electric infrared units (Infratech, Solaira, AEI/Indeeco) it's element burnout after summer dormancy, controller issues, or wiring degradation in coastal salt air. Infratech specifically is Burbank-made, so our techs at Same Day Appliance Repair keep Comfort/Motif/CD element replacements on the truck for the common sizes. $89 commercial diagnostic, applied to repair. BHGS #A49573, EPA 608 Universal certified (#1346255700410), BBB Accredited.

Sunpak repair details →How our techs approach outdoor patio heaters
Patio-heater failures fall into two main categories by architecture: gas units (Bromic, Sunpak, Schwank) — most failures trace to thermocouple or pilot ignition, gas-valve service, or wind-related flame instability. Electric infrared units (Infratech, Solaira, AEI/Indeeco) — most failures trace to element burnout (often after summer dormancy + first cool-night activation), controller issues, or wiring degradation in coastal salt air. Infratech specifically (manufactured in Burbank) has the strongest parts availability locally — we keep Comfort/Motif/CD element replacements on the truck for the common sizes.
Common questions
Why does my patio heater stop working in the spring after winter idle?
Element burnout on electric infrareds — common after summer dormancy. The element cools, accumulates moisture, then arcs on first re-energization. Replace the affected element ($245-$385 typically). On gas units, the analog issue is thermocouple oxidation during idle months.
Is Infratech really better than the imports?
For LA specifically, yes. Manufactured in Burbank, so parts are available next-day or same-day on common items. Element quality is consistently good. The Comfort, Motif, and C/CD series cover most luxury patio installations we service in Beverly Hills, Malibu, and Pacific Palisades.
Do you work on hotel rooftop patio heaters?
Yes. Rooftop installations are routine — we coordinate with hotel facilities management for safe access. Bromic gas units are common on hotel rooftops; we're set up for high-altitude gas service and the wind-shielding considerations specific to rooftop installs.
