RayPak 156A Electronic 150,000 BTU Natural Gas Heater Reviews

imageWhy does the Raypak 156A need an electric connection? 1 Answer

  • The electric connection powers the control system and ignition. Since the 156A uses electronic spark ignition (not a standing pilot), it needs electricity to light the burner when there's a call for heat. The power also runs the digital display and safety features, like temperature sensors and the pressure switch. Without power, the heater can’t start or operate safely.

imageIs the Raypak 156A suitable for Canadian climates? 1 Answer

  • Absolutely. The 156A is built to perform reliably in various climates, including Canada's cooler temperatures. Its robust construction and efficient heating capabilities make it a great choice for extending your swimming season.

imageDoes the Raypak 156A come with a power cord? 1 Answer

  • Yes, it does. The Raypak 156A comes factory-equipped with a 3-foot, 3-prong 120V power cord, making installation straightforward for most setups. If your equipment pad uses 240V, the cord can be removed, and the heater can be hardwired accordingly.

imageDoes the Raypak 156A use a pilot light or electronic ignition? 1 Answer

  • The 156A uses electronic spark ignition, not a standing pilot. That means it only lights when the heater is turned on, which is more energy-efficient and safer than having a pilot flame running all the time. No need to relight anything manually — it takes care of itself.
