Designed Around Your Space
Custom
Installations
Not every outdoor heating project is a single heater on a wall. PHD designs and installs complete custom systems for residential, commercial, and hospitality projects across the Southeast.
What We Specify & Supply
Beyond the Standard Purchase
Some projects need more than a product. They need a system. Here is the range of custom heating work PHD supports across residential and commercial projects throughout the Southeast.
Multi-Zone Heating Systems
Large patios, restaurant terraces, and hotel courtyards often require multiple heaters across several zones. PHD designs complete multi-zone systems with centralized smart controls and provides your contractor with a full installation package.
Recessed Ceiling Specifications
Bromic heaters can be fully recessed into ceilings for a completely flush, invisible finish. We provide the framing dimensions, electrical or gas rough-in specs, and clearance requirements your contractor needs.
Fireplace and Heater Combinations
The most effective outdoor comfort systems pair a fireplace or fire feature for ambience with directed Bromic heaters for warmth. PHD specifies both systems to work together seamlessly.
Commercial and Hospitality Projects
Restaurants, hotels, resorts, and event venues have unique requirements: high output, durability, code compliance, and aesthetics that match the brand. PHD specializes in commercial-scale product specification and supply.
New Construction Integration
Working with builders and architects during the design phase allows for cleaner installations, better product placement, and lower overall cost. PHD provides specs and drawings for permit sets.
Retrofit and Upgrade Projects
Replacing old mushroom heaters or adding heating to an existing covered patio. PHD assesses your current setup and specifies the most cost-effective upgrade path for your contractor to execute.
Who We Work With
Built for Every Client Type
Homeowners
Luxury residential patios, pool decks, and outdoor living rooms that deserve a properly designed heating system. Not just a heater bolted to the wall.
Architects and Designers
PHD provides spec sheets, CAD details, and heating layout drawings that integrate cleanly into your project documentation and permit sets.
Builders and Contractors
We make sure rough-in requirements, clearances, and product specs are in your hands before you break ground. The job starts right.
Restaurants and Bars
Outdoor dining is revenue. PHD specifies heating systems that keep every seat comfortable and your patio open through the cooler months.
Hotels and Resorts
Pool decks, rooftop bars, and courtyard dining areas require heating that performs at scale and matches the property aesthetic.
Event Venues
Weddings, corporate events, and private functions need reliable outdoor comfort. PHD specifies systems that handle the full range of Southeast weather.
How It Works
The PHD Project Process

We review your space dimensions, ceiling heights, structure type, and gas or electrical infrastructure. In person for larger projects, or via drawings and photos for straightforward ones.

Specification & Quote
You receive a complete product specification with model numbers, quantities, accessories, and pricing. Everything your contractor needs to bid and execute the job.
Permitting Documentation
We provide the documentation your contractor or permitting office needs: product specs, clearance requirements, installation drawings, and gas or electrical load data.
Product Supply and Delivery
PHD supplies and delivers every product to site, timed to your project schedule. Your contractor installs with confidence and we stay available for any technical questions throughout.
Common Questions
Custom Install FAQs
What makes a project a custom install vs. a standard purchase?
A standard purchase is a single heater or a small number of units with straightforward mounting. A custom project involves system design, multiple zones, recessed mounting, combined fire and heating systems, or commercial-scale work that requires a site assessment and formal specification.
Do you work with architects and builders during the design phase?
Yes. PHD provides spec sheets, heating layout drawings, clearance requirements, and product documentation that integrate into permit sets and construction drawings. We prefer to be involved early so rough-ins are done correctly the first time.
Can you specify heating for an existing covered patio?
In most cases, yes. We assess your existing structure, ceiling height, and gas or electrical supply, then specify the most effective system for your space. Retrofit projects are a significant part of our residential work.
Do you handle commercial projects?
Absolutely. Restaurants, hotels, resorts, and event venues are core to our business. Commercial projects receive a dedicated product specialist and full support from specification through delivery.
What is included in the free consultation?
The consultation includes a review of your space, a heating layout recommendation, complete product specification, and a detailed quote. There is no obligation and no charge.
