What goes into a complete garage heater installation?
Installing a gas garage heater involves more than hanging the unit. The scope includes sizing, mounting, gas supply, safe venting, electrical power, thermostat control, and commissioning. Gencon brings these services together so you have one point of contact for the work.
Detached garages
Account for the distance to gas and power, the route between buildings, and any additional work required to reach the garage.
Garages & workshops
Match the heating plan to how you use the space. Ceiling height, insulation, door openings, and your preferred temperature all matter.

A little clarity
Your garage heating questions, answered.
What size heater does my garage need?
Square footage alone is not enough to size a heater. Insulation, ceiling height, door openings, air leakage, and your target temperature all affect the heating load. A site assessment helps avoid choosing a heater that is too large or too small.
Does a gas garage heater need a permit in Calgary?
Gas work in Calgary requires the applicable gas permit and a qualified contractor. Other permits may apply when electrical or building work is involved. The exact requirements and inspection responsibilities should be confirmed for your property before installation.
Can you install a heater in a detached garage?
Yes, subject to a site assessment. If gas or suitable electrical power does not already reach the building, the connection route and additional work need to be included in the estimate.
Should I insulate my garage before installing a heater?
Insulation and air sealing affect heating demand and comfort. If you plan to improve the walls, ceiling, or garage door, tell us before equipment is selected so the heating plan reflects the finished space.
What affects garage heater installation cost?
The heater model and output, gas line length and capacity, vent route, electrical work, access, and permit requirements all affect the price. We assess these details to define the installation scope before quoting.
Can a heat pump be used instead of a gas heater?
A heat pump may suit some insulated spaces and can also provide cooling. A garage assessment is needed to compare cold-weather capacity, intended use, electrical supply, gas availability, and operating costs.
