Schwank Patio Heaters — Restaurant-Grade Outdoor Heating

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the highest-output Schwank patio heater?
The SupremeSchwank gas heater delivers up to 50,000 BTU per unit — the highest output in the premium patio heater category. Available in single-stage and two-stage configurations.
Schwank vs Bromic — which is better?
Bromic wins on design polish and slim form factor for upscale residential covered patios. Schwank wins on raw gas output (50,000 BTU) and commercial-grade durability for restaurant terraces and large open spaces.
Can ElectricSchwank be installed indoors?
Yes — ElectricSchwank infrared heaters are approved for indoor commercial installations like warehouses, garages, sunrooms, and certain restaurant interiors. Always confirm local code and clearance requirements.
Is the Schwank single-stage or two-stage worth the upgrade?
Two-stage Schwank heaters offer high/low burner control — useful for restaurants that want to dial back heat during slower service periods or when ambient temps rise. For residential or full-blast commercial use, single-stage is sufficient.
What is the warranty on Schwank patio heaters?
Schwank patio heaters carry full manufacturer warranty — typically 2 years with extended coverage available. As an authorized dealer, Fireplace Choice handles warranty claims directly with Schwank.
