Eric the Heater Guy

I'm Eric. Heaters are what I do.

I run Eric the Heater Guy — commercial outdoor heating for restaurants, hotels, and serious patios across SoCal. One person, one phone number, zero runaround.

Commercial outdoor heating specialist Authorized dealer for leading commercial brands Serving Ventura, Los Angeles, Santa Barbara counties

I started this because commercial patio heating shouldn't require a phone tree.

I'm Eric. This is my company, my phone number, and my reputation.

I started Eric the Heater Guy in 2024 after working in the heater business — operations, repairs, commercial sales. I kept watching restaurants get sold the wrong equipment by people who'd never set foot on a patio.

So I built the company I wished existed: one specialist who helps you figure out the heating — choose the right equipment, size the patio, sort out fuel and configuration, source it, and keep it running. Sales, rentals, leasing, repair, sourcing. If it makes heat outside, it's my problem.

I'm based in Moorpark and work across Ventura, Los Angeles, and Santa Barbara counties — and I ship Sunpak heaters nationwide. Fully insured, dozens of Sunpaks sold since opening. When you call, you get me — not a dispatcher, not a subcontractor, not a call center.

  • Specialist, not generalist

    Patio heat is the business — not one category among fifty. Figure out the heating, choose the right equipment, keep the heaters running.

  • Authorized dealer, six brands

    Sunpak, Sunglo, Sunwood Marino, Italkero, Infratech, SunStar — genuine equipment with real parts access.

  • Spec, supply, service

    Sales, rentals, leasing, and repair from the person who knows your equipment. Installation facilitated through a licensed installer on request.
