Why we carry Sunglo
Field notes: Sunglo
What working with this equipment actually teaches you.
- The classic black mushroom — and I rebuild them.
My refurbished Sunglo program: used units inspected, rebuilt, and tested. Same heat, a fraction of new. Ask what's on the bench right now.
- The A270 is a permanent post-mount.
Not a portable you wheel around — a fixed installation for patios that want the mushroom look without the propane-tank shuffle.
- Refurbished vs new is a real conversation.
If the bones are good, a rebuild is the smart money. If not, I'll tell you to buy new. I sell both, so the advice is honest.
Common questions
New or refurbished Sunglo?
Our certified-refurbished A270s are tested, serviced, and sold with a warranty — the fastest way to heat a patio without the new-unit lead time or price.
How long does a propane tank last on an A270?
Roughly 8–10 hours on high depending on conditions. Our rental and leasing programs include propane handling so you never think about it.
Do you rent Sunglos before purchase?
Yes — try before you buy is official policy. Rent the exact model, then decide.
