What's covered

Every maintenance visit runs the same seven steps. Preventive care for commercial patio heaters — most major brands, including units you didn't buy from us.

Inspect
Every unit checked top to bottom: overall condition, mounting, and installation soundness.
Clean
Burners, emitters, and reflectors cleaned. Clean heaters burn hotter and last longer.
Test
Every heater fired and run through its controls before we leave. Nothing gets signed off cold.
Identify wear
Parts wearing out get flagged before they fail on a Friday night — ignition components, emitters, gas connections.
Check components
Pilot and ignition, thermocouple, gas valve, regulator, and controls tested individually, not just eyeballed.
Recommend repairs
Anything that needs fixing gets an upfront quote. Parts and repair labor are billed separately — never bundled into the plan.
Document condition
You get a written record of every unit's condition after each visit — useful for multi-location groups and your own files.

Built for commercial patios.

The plan is for patios where dead heaters cost money — not for a single backyard unit.

Restaurants
Dining patios that run heaters nightly through the cold months.
Hotels
Courtyards, pool decks, and rooftop spaces guests expect to be comfortable.
Hospitality groups
Multiple locations, one documented maintenance record across all of them.
Commercial properties
Common areas and outdoor amenities where broken equipment becomes a liability.
Venues
Event spaces that need every heater working before doors open.

The math is simple

One dead heater on a busy night costs more than a year of maintenance — in lost covers, comped tables, and a patio that looks abandoned. The plan is quoted to your fleet size and visit cadence.
