Infrared Patio Heaters by INFRATECH: Setting the Bar for Power, Style, & Safety
5-minute read | Heaters
As summer fades and autumn arrives with its crisp winds, electric infrared patio heaters are proving to be a game-changer for keeping people cozy on patios across North America. These heaters are perfect for heating both personal and public spaces, whether it’s a private residence, shared rental space, a bustling restaurant patio, a hospital waiting area, or anywhere else where a bit of extra warmth is needed. At AEI, we offer a variety of heating solutions including propane, natural gas, and electric heaters, as well as BBQ grills and related equipment. All of these options are efficient, powerful, and safe when used properly. Today, we’ll focus on the many benefits and specific applications of electric infrared outdoor heaters.
Heating Patios with Electric Heaters
Electricity is an outstanding energy source for patio heaters. Like propane and natural gas, it’s cost-effective, eco-friendly, and widely accessible. Every infrared electric patio heater is box-shaped, projecting heat in a broad arc or fan shape in the direction it’s facing. This allows you to strategically plan and anticipate the heated area you wish to create.
Since all electric patio heaters are infrared heaters, they emit safe infrared heat. This greatly minimizes risks associated with open flames and heaters that reach dangerously high temperatures. With infrared, it’s much harder to accidentally burn yourself by coming into contact with the heat-emitting surface. Of course, caution is still necessary, as prolonged exposure to the heat can cause overheating of people or objects nearby. However, the time it takes to reach unsafe temperatures provides ample warning before any accidents can happen.
Infratech goes above and beyond to ensure safety in their home and restaurant patio heaters. Their designs keep heaters out of the reach of pets, children, and foot traffic. Not only are their products inherently safer by design, but they’re always mounted in the safest possible locations.
The Benefits of Electric Heat
Given the widespread availability of electricity, outdoor electric heaters are almost always a feasible option for patio heating. On the other hand, some properties lack access to natural gas, making gas-powered heaters impractical. While propane is generally easy to find in most towns and cities, if it’s unavailable or runs out after business hours, a propane heater would stop functioning. Electric heaters rarely encounter such issues.
Electric infrared heaters are an excellent choice for heating any outdoor patio space, such as outdoor seating areas for restaurants or bars, hotel valet waiting zones, apartment poolside areas and clubhouses, or residential patios to enhance comfort outdoors. To generate infrared heat, the heater electrifies a rod-shaped quartz heating element, which emits safe infrared rays. The quartz element is well protected, and the heaters are typically installed overhead, out of harm's way from traffic, children, pets, furniture, and other objects that shouldn’t be exposed to excessive heat.
Quartz heaters are highly efficient, environmentally friendly, and boast a longer operational life than other heating devices. Infrared light is a form of regular light, but it originates from the far-red end of the visible spectrum. Although it’s not visible to the human eye, it generates heat in the same manner as visible light. The heated quartz rod doesn’t emit microwaves or particles. Instead, it warms its surroundings by emitting infrared light from the heated quartz rod, making it completely safe for everyday use.
Electric infrared heaters come in a wide array of sizes and power ratings. We offer single and dual-element heaters with either one or two rods, equipped with various power settings. You can choose between single or dual-element heaters along with different power outputs. Select the color and finish that best matches your decor. We have over 50 unique electric models to suit every need.
Mounting Electric Patio Heaters
Through years of research and development, we’ve perfected the methods of mounting, positioning, and securing our single and dual-element heaters. Our infrared electric box heaters are mounted overhead and directed downward or at an angle. They are directly connected to the building’s electrical system. Smaller, less reputable heaters that plug into outlets create significant fire hazards and are more prone to accidental damage or tampering.
Our electric infrared box heaters can be mounted on walls or building eaves and angled down towards your patio, seating area, or other desired locations. This ensures they are safe and secure with a robust electrical connection that won’t be compromised by normal use. In some cases, they can be attached to sturdy fences or poles. This might be a practical solution if you need to heat a patio without nearby stable structures. This could apply in workspaces or outdoor areas. When mounted this way, users should take precautions to protect the units from weather and tampering. Using a flush mounting kit, some electric heater models can be inset installed to be flush with a wall or ceiling, making the body of the unit nearly invisible and reducing the risk of collisions.
Infratech Patio Heater’s Advanced Control Features
One of the greatest advantages of electric heaters is the extensive range of control capabilities and options. Infratech is the only electric infrared heater manufacturer that meets and exceeds AEI’s strict safety and quality standards. For this reason, AEI exclusively carries Infratech heaters. Infratech has set a new benchmark for quality, safety, and reliability in the industry.
Electric infrared heaters offer more control options than those running on liquid propane or natural gas. This is because of their simple, reliable, and safe power delivery system. Liquid propane and natural gas require complex maintenance and inspection systems, which, although high-quality, powerful, and reliable, do not offer the same level of control flexibility.
Electric Infrared Heater Control Options Include:
- Basic ON/OFF switches for straightforward control
- Duplex or stack switches for managing multiple heaters and heating elements
- ING input regulators allowing you to select the heat output, providing greater control
Our advanced heater control solutions are compatible with modern digital home management systems. These include universal control panels and solid-state packages. These tools give users full control over the outdoor heating of their property. They allow zoning of heaters and enable users to schedule heater activity on automatic timers. Heater scheduling management lets you pre-program activation and deactivation times while also regulating output levels during automated operation.
Our advanced control systems are Bluetooth-enabled and can be managed via a mobile app. By integrating your heaters with a "smart home" system like Google Nest, you can pre-program, manage, monitor, and control multiple electric infrared heaters in various locations outdoors. Use these sophisticated control systems to heat your home when you're present, save energy when you're away, preheat a space before arrival, and deactivate any heater remotely at any time or place.
Imagine you're on a winter vacation visiting friends and family. If a caretaker, pet sitter, service technician, or another trusted person needs to enter your home, you can warm the place up for them before they arrive and deactivate the system after they leave.
