Patio Heaters

Patio Heaters offer heating solutions for outdoor environments, all year-round. Whether you are waiting in a queue at a restaurant or nightclub, enjoying a meal at a pub garden, outside of a café or simply in your own garden, this is the ideal solution for you. They can be safely mounted on a wall, with IP ratings that allow them to be left outdoors throughout the year.

Patio Heaters work by converting electricity into infrared heat, which then passes through an internal heating halogen lamp. The heat is then transmitted by electromagnetic waves through the air, until it reaches people and objects in a surrounding area. The infrared heat doesn’t heat the air itself. Once you absorb the electromagnetic waves, it warms you up whilst you are sitting, standing, or walking nearby the heater.

 

One benefit of Patio Heaters is their efficiency. You can rest assured knowing that the electricity they use is converted into radiant heat only, without wasteful by-products like Gas Heaters. The halogen lamp inside the heater is easy to replace. They are effective from the moment they are switched on, without the need to pre-warm an area.

 

A second benefit of this type of heater is that they have low costs to run. On average, a 1kW heater will cost 15p to run per hour. You could run the heaters all day with low maintenance costs, and a strong heat efficiency due to the open-fronted design. The heaters are easy to control, with an on/off switch, a button timer for a set period of time, movement sensors, and dimmers to reduce heat output if desired.

 

A third benefit of Patio Heaters is that the halogen lamp has a long life, operating up to 7,000 hours. The structure of the heater is solid, with the main body of the product being made from aluminium, and the grill made from stainless steel. This is the perfect solution for you when you are meeting friends for a meal at a pub, enjoying a cup of tea or coffee outside a café, or relaxing in your home garden.
