Here’s the thing about our patio heaters: they don’t waste time trying to warm the whole air around you. That’s a losing battle outdoors. Instead, they cut straight to the chase. They send out radiant heat that goes right to people, furniture, the floor—whatever’s in its path. It feels like standing in a patch of warm sunshine, even on a chilly evening. And honestly? It’s a much smarter way to use energy.
Let’s talk power
These units run on 230V or 240V, putting out 1500W to 2500W. That voltage range keeps the electrical side simple—wiring stays clean, and your breaker load stays predictable. No surprises, no headaches. The tubes come in lengths from 300mm to 1200mm. Shorter tubes fit tight corners. Longer ones cover bigger areas. Match the tube to your space, and you get even warmth without those annoying hot and cold spots.
Built to last
Inside, you’ve got a quartz tube filled with halogen. Why? Because it handles quick temperature shifts without cracking. The filament inside runs hot, but the halogen cycle keeps everything stable, so the heat stays consistent over time. And the connector? It’s an R7s. That means installation is quick, and if you’re replacing an old unit, this one drops right in. The reflector coating is there for one reason: it pushes infrared heat downward, exactly where you need it, with minimal waste.
Perfect for the patio
Outdoors, this design shines. It packs a lot of warmth into a small footprint, and unlike convection heaters, it doesn’t give up just because the wind picks up. Now, there are a couple of things to keep in mind. The surface gets hot, so you’ll want proper clearance and protection from accidental contact. And the electronics need to be rated for outdoor use—no cutting corners there. But when you size the unit to your space, you get something that’s reliable, easy to install, and just does its job. It keeps people warm, keeps the energy use sensible, and doesn’t make a fuss about it.
