Schwank Radiant Heater Service in Phoenix, AZ
Heat the floor and the people, not the air under the roof. Infrared is the right answer for a high-bay building, and Schwank is one of the names on it.
Schwank builds gas-fired infrared heaters — radiant tube heaters, high-intensity luminous heaters and outdoor patio heaters — in Ontario and Georgia, and its equipment heats Phoenix warehouses, aircraft hangars, service bays, loading docks and, in a metro that dines outdoors eight months a year, a great many restaurant patios. Bleuwave services Schwank equipment as an independent contractor, without dealer affiliation or factory authorization.
Infrared heating suits high-bay buildings because it warms surfaces and people directly rather than heating air that rises to the roof. It suits Phoenix because the heating season is short and the buildings are large — a radiant system heats a work area quickly on a cold morning without heating the whole volume. Service is burner, emitter, reflector, venting and controls, and it is best done before the season.

Schwank Radiant Equipment
Radiant tube heaters — straight and U-tube configurations, single-stage, two-stage and modulating — with burners firing into emitter tubes under reflectors; luminous heaters with ceramic burner surfaces for very high-bay and outdoor applications; and patio heaters for hospitality. Controls range from thermostats to zoned building-automation integration.
Service in Phoenix
Idle-season failures — fouled burners, failed igniters and flame sensors, stuck gas valves, spider webs in orifices — dominate on tube heaters, along with vacuum-pump or exhaust-fan faults, emitter-tube corrosion and reflector degradation. Luminous heaters need burner-surface and gas-supply attention. Patio heaters face outdoor exposure year-round. Every service includes ignition and flame-safeguard verification, burner cleaning, emitter and reflector inspection, venting check and gas-pressure verification; repairs cover ignition, gas valves, controls, exhaust fans, tubes, reflectors and mounting; replacement and conversion from forced-air to radiant are evaluated for buildings where the economics favor it.
Straight Answers
Questions About Schwank Equipment
Would radiant heaters work better than our forced-air unit heaters?
Often, in high-bay buildings. Forced-air heaters warm air that rises to the roof; radiant heaters warm the floor and the people. The result is comfortable occupants at a lower gas bill. We assess ceiling height, occupancy and door traffic before recommending a conversion.
Do you service restaurant patio heaters?
Yes — gas-fired infrared patio heaters at restaurants, resorts and venues, including pre-season service and repair.
Is Bleuwave a Schwank representative?
No. We service Schwank equipment as an independent contractor without dealer affiliation or factory authorization.
