An infrared patio heater is an electric device that emits direct heat towards people and objects, without unnecessarily heating the air. This makes it perfect for open spaces. Why is infrared heating more efficient than gas? Infrared heating is particularly effective because it uses short-wave infrared radiation, which is unaffected by wind. Unlike gas heaters that warm the surrounding air, infrared heating acts directly on people and objects. Therefore, the heat is not dissipated by air currents. As soon as the rays reach your skin, you feel a gentle warmth that spreads instantly throughout your body. Where to install a patio heater? The ideal location for an infrared heater is on the ceiling, which ensures optimal heat distribution. If ceiling installation is not possible, wall mounting is strongly recommended. As a last resort, there are also portable models that you can position freely as needed. How does a patio heater work? A patio heater runs on electricity. The device transforms electrical energy into infrared radiation, which is warm and harmless. Unlike conventional heaters that warm the air, an infrared patio heater directly heats objects and people, much like the sun. The result is immediate and pleasant warmth. Shortwave radiation is unaffected by wind, making it ideal for outdoor use. Unlike gas patio heaters, whose heat escapes easily, the heat from an infrared heater remains localized, even in windy conditions. Is an outdoor infrared heater safe for a terrace? Yes, an outdoor infrared heater is perfectly safe for a patio. Thanks to their IPX5 certification, these devices are waterproof and can be left outside year-round. Furthermore, our models are equipped with an automatic temperature regulator. In case of overheating, the device automatically shuts off to ensure safe use. Is it safe to leave an infrared heater outside in winter? Yes, an infrared heater can be left outside in winter, provided it is IPX5 certified. This means it is water-resistant. All our models meet this waterproofing standard, allowing you to use them year-round, regardless of the weather.
