Detroit Radiant BAH Series electric infrared space heaters are compact commercial quartz element heaters from 18 to 60 inches long and 500 to 4,000 watts. They need no venting, give almost instant heat, and suit low output spots with tight clearances where gas or ventilation is not practical. These heaters are for commercial use only and are not approved for homes, RVs, campers or tents.


What the Detroit Radiant BAH is

The BAH is a compact commercial electric infrared space heater with a quartz element in a black steel housing. Detroit Radiant makes it in five lengths, 18 to 60 inches, from 500 to 4,000 watts, at 120, 208, 240 or 480 volts. It takes nothing from the air and adds nothing to it, needs no venting, and gives heat almost the moment it is switched on. It is built for commercial and industrial spots, not for homes; the maker says plainly not to use it in a house, mobile home, RV, camper or tent. Compare the other Detroit Radiant electric heaters, which include models approved for outdoor home use.

Where it is used

Loading docks, guard shacks, work stations, ticket booths, entrances and other low output spots with tight clearances where a gas heater or a vent is not practical. Choose the length by the spot it must warm and the wattage by how cold the spot gets; the voltage must match the circuit an electrician will wire it to. The optional MB-1 bracket pair mounts it to a wall or ceiling, and replacement quartz elements are available for every model. Browse our commercial patio heaters for larger spaces.

Your questions answered

Can I use a BAH on my patio at home?

No. The BAH is not approved for residential use. For a home, look at the Detroit Radiant DSS, ELD or ELX heaters, which are listed for outdoor residential use.

Does it need a control?

It is wired to a switch, timer or thermostat that an electrician supplies. Detroit Radiant line voltage controls are in our controls and accessories collection.
