Easy Radiant Works heater service, repair & installation.
DAVESDUCTS services, diagnoses, repairs, replaces and installs applicable Easy Radiant Works infrared radiant heaters throughout Toronto and the GTA. This includes the compact Heatwave garage/workshop radiant tube heater as well as applicable existing Easy Radiant Works equipment.
SERVICE & REPAIR
Already have an Easy Radiant Works heater? We can service and repair it.
A radiant heater that will not ignite, starts and shuts down, is not producing expected heat or is operating abnormally should be diagnosed before replacement is assumed. DAVESDUCTS can service and repair applicable Easy Radiant Works equipment.
Will Not Start
Diagnose applicable ignition, control, gas-supply, electrical and safety-circuit concerns.
Starts Then Shuts Down
Investigate intermittent operation, proving issues, controls and other applicable operating faults.
Ignition Problems
Inspect applicable ignition components and determine whether cleaning, adjustment or repair is required.
Burner / Combustion Concerns
Investigate abnormal burner operation and applicable combustion-related concerns within our service scope.
Controls & Thermostats
Diagnose applicable thermostats, wiring and heater control components.
Repair vs Replacement
Where repair is practical, replacement may not be necessary. Equipment condition, diagnosis and parts availability should guide the decision.
BEFORE THE SERVICE CALL
Send us the model number, rating plate and photos.
A clear photo of the Easy Radiant Works rating plate, complete heater, burner/control assembly and a description of the symptoms can help us identify the equipment and prepare for the service visit.
THE HEATWAVE
Compact radiant tube heating for garages and workshops.
The Easy Radiant Works Heatwave is a compact gas-fired infrared radiant tube heater intended for appropriate garages, workshops and other spaces where available mounting length or ceiling conditions can make larger radiant-heater configurations difficult.
40,000 BTUH
The Heatwave information currently represented on this site identifies a 40,000 BTUH heating input. Final equipment specifications should be confirmed against current manufacturer documentation when quoted.
Compact Format
The published Heatwave configuration is approximately 8 feet long, making it particularly relevant to smaller garage and workshop applications.
Natural Gas or Propane
Published Heatwave information identifies fuel-specific natural-gas and propane configurations. The equipment supplied must match the intended fuel.
RESIDENTIAL GARAGE HEATING
Is the Heatwave right for your garage?
The compact heater format can make the Heatwave a practical option where garage-door tracks, ceiling height or other obstructions limit available mounting space. Suitability still depends on the actual garage and installation conditions.
Garage Size
Floor area and ceiling height affect the heating requirement, but they are only part of the sizing decision.
Insulation & Air Leakage
Walls, ceiling, overhead doors and uncontrolled leakage affect how much heat the garage requires.
Desired Temperature
Maintaining workshop comfort is a different heating requirement from simply keeping a garage above freezing.
Vehicle Position
Vehicle locations and the heater’s required clearances need to work together in the completed installation.
Garage Door
Door tracks, open-door position and frequency of use can affect both heater placement and heating performance.
Storage & Lifts
Shelving, stored materials, vehicle lifts and other objects must be considered when determining an appropriate mounting location.
HOW RADIANT HEATING WORKS
Heat the surfaces first — not only the air.
A gas-fired radiant tube heater heats an emitter tube. That heated surface radiates infrared energy toward floors, objects and people within its radiant field. Those warmed surfaces subsequently transfer some heat to the surrounding air through convection.
01
Burner
The gas burner creates heat and sends hot combustion gases through the tube assembly.
02
Radiant Tube
The heated tube becomes the infrared-emitting surface.
03
Surfaces
Floors and objects within the radiant field absorb energy and become warmer.
04
Room
Warm surfaces then contribute to heating the surrounding air.
HEATWAVE DESIGN
Useful product characteristics — without designing from an old brochure.
The existing DAVESDUCTS page contains detailed historical Heatwave component specifications. Those details are useful for identifying existing equipment, but current installation decisions should be based on the exact heater and current manufacturer instructions.
Electronic Ignition
Published Heatwave information describes electronic hot-surface ignition with combustion monitoring and safety lockout logic.
Air-Proving Safety
Published product information includes airflow-proving controls as part of the heater’s operating and safety sequence.
Accessible Blower
The Heatwave design places the blower externally for service access according to the published product information.
Combustion-Air Connection
Published information identifies an intake-air connection. Actual combustion-air requirements depend on the approved installation.
Steel Emitter Tube
The published Heatwave design uses a compact steel radiant-tube assembly appropriate to its intended application.
Reflector
The reflector directs radiant energy toward the intended heating area and is part of the approved heater assembly.
CLEARANCES & LOW CEILINGS
“Compact” does not mean the heater can go anywhere.
One of the Heatwave’s advantages is its compact form, but required clearances still control whether a particular garage and mounting location are suitable. Ceiling height alone is not enough to approve an installation.
Combustibles
Required clearances from combustible materials must be confirmed for the exact heater and approved mounting orientation.
Vehicles
Vehicle height and parking position must be considered relative to the radiant field and required clearances.
Garage-Door Tracks
Tracks, open-door position, operators and other overhead equipment can restrict possible heater locations.
Shelving & Storage
Storage patterns can change over time, so the installation should not depend on combustible materials never being placed in a clearance zone.
Mounting Orientation
Flat or angled installation can change the radiant field and applicable clearance requirements.
Service Access
The burner, blower, controls and other serviceable components should remain reasonably accessible.
GAS PIPING
The heater is only one part of the gas system.
Before adding a garage radiant heater, DAVESDUCTS can review the applicable gas piping and the building’s other connected gas-fired equipment rather than simply connecting another load to the existing system.
New Gas Line
Install applicable gas piping, shutoff and connection for the heater as part of the project.
Existing Gas Capacity
Review the proposed heater load with the building’s other connected equipment and coordinate applicable meter/service requirements where necessary.
INSTALLATION PROCESS
Plan the heater around the garage — not the garage around the heater.
01
Assess
Review the space, ceiling, garage doors, vehicles, storage, gas supply and intended use.
02
Select
Confirm that the proposed Easy Radiant Works equipment is appropriate for the heating requirement and physical installation.
03
Install
Complete applicable heater mounting, gas piping, venting or combustion-air work, controls and related mechanical work.
04
Commission
Complete applicable startup and operational checks for the installed equipment.
REPLACEMENT
Replacing an existing Easy Radiant Works heater?
The existing installation should be reviewed before assuming a new heater is a direct replacement. Gas supply, venting, clearances, controls, mounting and the current use of the space can all affect the replacement plan.
Identify Existing Equipment
Confirm the exact model, fuel, input and existing heater configuration.
Review the Installation
Check the existing gas, venting, clearances, mounting and service access rather than automatically reproducing the old arrangement.
Select Current Equipment
Confirm current model availability and manufacturer requirements when replacement equipment is quoted.
OTHER EASY RADIANT WORKS EQUIPMENT
The Heatwave is not the only Easy Radiant Works heater.
Easy Radiant Works has produced multiple infrared radiant-heating configurations for different applications. If you have existing Easy Radiant Works equipment other than a Heatwave, send us the rating plate and equipment photos so we can identify the heater and determine the appropriate service path.
EXISTING EQUIPMENT
Don’t know which model you have?
Send a clear rating-plate photo. Model identification matters because parts, controls, input, clearances and installation requirements can differ across product families.
