Infrared Heating for New Warehouse Construction — Why Early Coordination Matters

Construction season is here. If you’re specifying heating for a new warehouse, distribution center, or industrial facility, infrared belongs in the conversation early.

Why Infrared in High-Bay Environments

REZNOR infrared heating systems offer significant advantages over forced air in high-bay environments:

  • Lower operating costs through radiant efficiency
  • Faster comfort at floor level where workers actually are
  • Reduced air stratification in tall spaces
  • No ductwork to design around or maintain

The Coordination Requirement

Infrared requires early coordination in the design process. Ceiling heights, mounting configurations, gas line locations, and clearance requirements all need to be worked out during design — not during construction when changes are expensive. Bringing infrared into the conversation after the structural steel is set creates problems that don’t need to exist.

We Support the Full Specification Process

We work with mechanical engineers and contractors across our eight-state territory to get REZNOR infrared specified correctly on new construction and major renovation projects. We support the load calculation, product selection, and submittal process.

If you have a high-bay facility on your project list this year, contact us at info@jjmorgan.com and bring us in early.

Spring Is the Best Time to Service Your Commercial Unit Heaters

Most facility managers don’t think about their REZNOR unit heaters once the weather breaks. That’s exactly when a quick PM visit can save thousands in emergency repair costs next fall.

Why Spring Is the Right Time

We see a consistent pattern across our territory: facilities that schedule spring service calls catch issues early — dirty heat exchangers, worn belts, ignition problems — and resolve them during the slow season when parts are available and technicians aren’t slammed. By October, it’s too late to plan. You’re competing with every other facility in a five-state radius for the same service window.

What a Spring PM Should Cover

  • Burner inspection and cleaning
  • Heat exchanger integrity check
  • Controls and ignition verification
  • Belt and motor inspection
  • Venting and combustion air review

REZNOR Is Built to Last — With Maintenance

REZNOR unit heaters are built to run for decades. But they perform best when they’re maintained. If your facility runs unit heaters, rooftop equipment, or suspended infrared, get your spring PM scheduled now — before the service calendar fills up.

AHR 2026: REZNOR’s Dock Trailer Heater, EUHC, and Air Curtain Series

AHR 2026 in Las Vegas was a strong show for REZNOR. Three products were front and center at the booth — and one of them stole the show.

The DTH — Dock Trailer Heater

The DTH was the most talked-about product at the REZNOR booth. It’s the first-of-its-kind heating solution designed specifically for docked trailers — warming them in as little as 7 minutes. The implications for worker safety, productivity, and comfort in cold-weather loading dock operations are significant. This is a product solving a real problem that most HVAC equipment never touched.

EUHC — Compact Electric Unit Heater

The EUHC is surprisingly powerful for its footprint. Engineered for flexibility and efficiency, it offers multiple mounting options, safety upgrades, and residential certification on select models (R3/R5). Perfect for tight mechanical rooms, shops, and auxiliary heating applications where space is the constraint.

Air Curtain Series (HAC / HACE)

REZNOR’s air curtain lineup features an industry-leading plenum design that delivers an even discharge across the entire width of a door opening — improving comfort, reducing energy loss, and separating conditioned spaces from outdoor air effectively.

What This Means for Our Territory

We’re excited to see these products make their way into more projects across our eight-state territory. Contact us at info@jjmorgan.com to discuss any of these products for your next application.
