I would suggest insulating the ceiling as heat rises and you would have significant heat loss. We have a sprayed foam insulated ceiling that was cheap to do and works great in winter for the heat in and summer to lessen the heating from the sun.

How much heat is loss through the ceiling with this model?

The SunStar Infrared Heater is designed to heat the objects below it. When the objects below the heater warm up the air in the room will also. Of course, heat rises so any insulation in your ceiling would help to retain the heat better than an uninsulated ceiling.

HOW DO YOU VENT IT IF IT,S VENTLESS?
1 answer-
ProductExpert11· 5 years ago
This heater is for indoor installation only and is used in an unvented mode. The term unvented means indirect venting. The product of combustion is expelled into the building, national code will require ventilation in the building to dilute these products of combustion. This can be provided by gravity or mechanical means. A ventilation chart is listed in the manual for reference.
