How does an outdoor heater heat?
The modern electric heaters that you can order in our shop heat using innovative infrared technology.
Infrared heaters provide heat radiation that is similar to natural sunlight and is therefore perceived as particularly pleasant .
An infrared heater does not require air to heat an area.
They heat solid objects , not the surrounding air. All objects and people within the radiation radius are pleasantly warmed and then release this heat.
Advantages of an infrared heater for outdoor use
Would you like to enjoy your evening on the balcony or a coffee with your family on the terrace in the garden on Sunday afternoons?
Then you need a heater that quickly delivers the desired heat.
This is precisely where infrared technology is unbeatable: an electric heater provides you with pleasant warmth at the touch of a button without long preheating time, and even via remote control.
Furthermore, the devices impress with their excellent energy efficiency . Modern electric infrared heaters are energy-efficient and allow for targeted heating of specific areas.
Because no preheating is required, it is sufficient to switch on the heater only when heat is actually needed.
The innovative infrared technology is environmentally friendly , as the heating process produces no emissions. If you want to contribute as much as possible to environmental protection, it makes sense to choose an eco-friendly tariff from your electricity provider.
In this case, the electrical power you need for your electric heater is generated exclusively from renewable energy sources.
Functionality of an outdoor heater
An infrared heater does not cause any disturbing noises , as is the case with gas-powered patio heaters.
Infrared heaters are odorless and do not cause air turbulence.
They can be used in protected outdoor areas all year round and are versatile thanks to their flexible installation .
If you choose a standing heater, you can easily relocate it at any time. They're a good choice if you want to use the heater either outdoors or as additional heating indoors, for example, in a hobby room or garden shed.
Infrared heaters do not require a connection to a pipe system, but only a power connection.
The mobile heaters have a long service life because they have no moving parts. Unlike conventional heating systems , there's no need for regular maintenance , saving you money.
All models that you can order in our online shop also boast a modern design.
These heaters fit perfectly into any environment and are not only ideal patio heaters , but thanks to their low weight they can also be taken along on camping holidays or used as additional heating in the bathroom in winter.
The heaters offered here are very safe and meet the highest standards in this regard.
Features such as dimmers and remote controls increase ease of use.
Outdoor heaters: wall heater, ceiling heater or freestanding heater?
All devices are suitable for outdoor use on the terrace or balcony.
You can choose between wall and ceiling heaters, which are permanently mounted, and free-standing heaters, which can be used flexibly.
Wall heaters & ceiling heaters for outdoor use
These heaters can be mounted either on the wall or on the ceiling and thus blend perfectly into the surroundings.
For this reason, many users find wall heaters and ceiling heaters more visually appealing.
In addition, when mounted on the ceiling or wall, you do not need any floor space, so the devices can easily fit even on a small balcony.
You can vary the radiation range as desired.
Despite their fixed installation, the compact, lightweight heaters can be pivoted and directed to different areas as needed.
With these models, the heat comes from above and, similar to sunlight, is perceived as particularly pleasant.
Heat specific areas selectively and thereby increase the energy efficiency of the infrared heater.
When selecting a specific model, you can choose between bright radiators and dark radiators.
Bright radiators
In a bright radiator, the heating element is not covered, so that the view falls on the glowing heating coil or heating rod.
The heating element glows yellow while the patio heater is in operation and the surface of the device heats up more than that of a dark radiator.
For this reason, bright radiators are equipped with additional contact protection , which minimizes the risk of burns.
Dark radiators
If you are looking for an electric patio heater that does not emit any light, a dark heater is the right choice.
In a dark radiator, the heating element is concealed by a high-quality cover .
These infrared heaters have a particularly modern design and blend unobtrusively into their surroundings.
Another advantage is that the surface heats up less , thus minimizing the risk of injury.
Freestanding heater for outdoor use
Freestanding heaters impress with their maximum flexibility.
You can set up these patio heaters anywhere and rearrange them as you wish.
The electric heaters emit heat evenly downwards and no installation is required.
Simply connect the cable of the spotlight to a power outlet on the terrace and enjoy the pleasant warmth in the next moment.
Where can outdoor heaters be installed?
Infrared heaters can be used anywhere in the garden or on the balcony.
Use these as a heater for the balcony , asa heater for the awning or as a heater for the parasol .
In any case, patio heaters extend the summer season – to a full twelve months if you wish.
Infrared heaters are also popular in the catering industry, where they are increasingly replacing gas-powered patio heaters, which have come under criticism due to high operating costs, safety risks and lack of environmental compatibility.
Radiant heaters: What should you consider when buying one?
When choosing an infrared heater, pay attention to the power , which is measured in watts.
The more watts, the more heat the outdoor heater can generate and thus heat a larger area. However, higher power also means higher electricity consumption.
Therefore, choose an electric infrared heater with adjustable heat settings . This allows you to adjust the heat output to your heating needs and reduce electricity costs.
In this shop you will find infrared heaters with power outputs from 500 watts to 4,500 watts, meaning you will find the right model for every purpose.
A convenient accessory is the remote control . While not a must-have, it significantly increases the ease of use of your modern electric heater.
Use the remote control to turn on the infrared heater at any time in the evening while you sit comfortably on the terrace.
Another decision criterion is the cable length, which should be sufficient to use the patio heater without an additional extension cable.
What safety instructions should be observed when using radiant heaters?
It's important to eliminate the risk of fire when using an infrared outdoor heater. Therefore, the electric heater should be securely mounted . This is important not only for wall and ceiling installation.
A free-standing radiant heater must be equipped with tip-over protection .
In addition, you should pay attention to the appropriate IP protection class when purchasing the infrared heater.
The IP protection class X4 guarantees the safety of the electric heater against the ingress of splash water and the IP protection class X5 even ensures the safe operation of the infrared heater when jets of water hit the device from all directions.
To maximize the safety of the electric heater, you should maintain a sufficient safety distance from flammable objects when installing or setting up the infrared heater outdoors.
