What is an infrared patio heater?

An infrared patio heater uses radiant heat instead of convection. This means the heat doesn't warm the air, but directly warms the people and objects around it. It feels a bit like the sun shining on your skin – even on a chilly evening.

This makes infrared ideal for outdoor use: the heat is not lost in the wind, but comes directly to you.

The benefits of infrared patio heaters

1. Direct heat
   As soon as you turn on the heater, you'll feel the heat almost immediately. No long warm-up time required.

2. Energy efficient
   Because the heat is not lost into the air, infrared is often more efficient than traditional heating methods.

3. Comfortable and healthy
   Infrared rays are natural and similar to the heat of the sun. They warm your body without dry air or drafts.

4. No gas or smoke
   Infrared heaters are electrically powered. No hassle with gas bottles or emissions, so they're both more environmentally friendly and safer.

5. Stylish and compact
   Many models have a sleek design and fit perfectly on a modern terrace or balcony.

What should you pay attention to when buying an infrared patio heater?

1. Power (Wattage)
   The higher the wattage, the larger the heated surface area. For a small balcony, 1500 watts is often sufficient, but for a large patio, you're better off with 2000 or 2500 watts.

2. Placement
   Do you want to place the heater on the wall, the ceiling or would you prefer a flexible position?

3. Operation
   Some models have a remote control or even app control, so you can easily adjust the heat.

4. Protection against weather and wind (IP value)
   Pay attention to the IP rating so that your heater is resistant to rain and moisture.

5. Design
   A patio heater is often visible, so choose a model that matches the style of your garden or patio.
