What are Infrared Patio Heaters?

Infrared patio heaters are cutting-edge outdoor heating devices that use radiant infrared technology to provide instant and efficient warmth. This targeted heating provides almost instant warmth, allowing patios, restaurant seating areas, beer gardens, balconies, gardens, and outdoor workspaces to become comfortable within minutes of switching the heater on. Because infrared heaters are not affected by wind to the same extent as convection heaters, they deliver more consistent warmth in outdoor conditions while using energy more efficiently.

Different Types of Infrared Patio Heaters

High-glare infrared heaters emit intense visible light, creating a visible glow for ambience, while low-glare infrared heaters produce a softer, less visible light to minimise glare. The choice depends on your personal preferences and desired effect. 

• Low-Glare Outdoor Infrared Heaters - Low-glare infrared heaters have less intense visible light. These heaters are suitable for areas where a more subtle and discreet heating solution is desired without affecting the atmosphere or providing softer visuals. 
• High-Glare Outdoor Infrared Heaters - High-glare infrared heaters emit a brighter, more intense light that can be visible and may create a glare, similar to the glow of a traditional fire. These heaters are ideal for areas where highlighting the aesthetics of your outdoor space is important.

Outdoor heating solutions aren't often as thought about as indoor, however, both residential homes and commercial spaces can benefit from infrared outdoor heating when you're looking to fight off any lingering chill. Unlike traditional outdoor heaters that attempt to warm the surrounding air, infrared heaters emit radiant heat that directly warms people and surfaces, making them particularly effective in open or semi-enclosed environments where heat would otherwise be quickly lost.

Frequently Asked Questions

Have questions about outdoor infrared heating? We've got you covered! Check out our FAQs section below for answers to commonly asked questions about using infrared heaters in your outdoor space.

Are infrared heaters weather-resistant?
Most outdoor infrared heaters are built with weather-resistant materials and protective ratings that allow them to withstand exposure to rain, wind, and temperature changes. Because they work by emitting radiant heat rather than using open flames or fuel combustion, they also avoid many of the risks associated with traditional outdoor heating methods.

Do outdoor infrared heaters use a lot of electricity?
One of the great things about infrared heaters is that they are great energy-efficient heating options. This is because they deliver heat directly to people and objects rather than trying to warm the surrounding air, which is easily lost outdoors. This targeted radiant heating means less wasted energy compared with many traditional outdoor heating methods. However, running costs depend on factors such as wattage, usage time, electricity prices, and how exposed or sheltered the area is.


Are infrared garden heaters good for the environment?
Yes, infrared heating is designed with safety features that keep the environment in mind. A lot of them have safety shut-off features in case of overheating, and, unlike gas-powered patio heaters which burn fuel and release gases into the atmosphere, electric infrared heaters operate without combustion, meaning there are no direct fumes, smoke, or pollutants emitted at the point of use. This makes them particularly suitable for enclosed or semi-enclosed outdoor areas where air quality is important.


Are outdoor infrared heaters for patios easy to install?
Each type of infrared outdoor heating offers easy installation options. Free-standing infrared patio heaters typically require minimal assembly and can be placed in any location without the hassle of permanent installation. Wall-mounted infrared patio heaters can be easily mounted to a sturdy wall or structure with included brackets or placed on the floor with a tripod, providing a space-saving and efficient heating solution.
