Can I install a Big Maxx heater myself?

Big Maxx garage heaters are designed for permanent installation and require gas, venting and electrical connections. 

While experienced homeowners may be comfortable with some aspects of the installation, gas connections should be installed and tested in accordance with local codes and regulations. 


Installation and repairs involving the gas or electrical systems should be carried out by a qualified installer or service technician in accordance with the owner's manual and local codes.

We recommend reviewing the installation manual before purchasing to understand the requirements for your building.

How do I care for my Big Maxx heater?

Regular maintenance helps keep your Big Maxx heater operating safely and efficiently for years to come. Before each heating season, inspect the venting system, and clean dust and debris from the cabinet and air openings. 

It's also a good idea to have the heater inspected periodically to ensure the burner, heat exchanger and gas components are operating correctly.

Big Maxx heaters are built for long-term use and are supported by genuine replacement parts. If a component eventually wears out, many parts can be replaced to help restore dependable performance rather than replacing the entire heater.
