As a nation of outdoor lovers the ability to heat the outdoor areas of our garden once the sun sets and the temperature starts to drop is important to make sure we can keep the party going. With the advent of better quality outdoor heaters we have seen the rise of electric patio heaters which have some rather good advantages over their gas counterparts.
The electric patio heater has been around for quite a number of years now, but with the advance in technology of halogen lamps, has now finally become exceptionally popular. The heat they offer is instant, producing an odourless source with the ability to be directed to wherever it is required. Thanks to the source of energy being easily available, an electric patio heater saves a lot of hassle if you have it hooked up to the mains, or you can simply plug it into an adjacent socket for easy use. With no special trips to the local DIY hardware store to refill canisters that are running low on fuel, an electric patio heater really can be a fit and forget external heater which is there when you need it.
The Heatwave electric wall patio heaters are ideal for outdoor use, with the ability to be fitted to an external wall in a horizontal or vertical plane, whichever is more convenient and with 2kw heat output and an IP rating of 65 can heat a large area giving an ideal warming heater for those evenings when the temperature does starts to dip. Working from a 13A fuse, means there is no requirement for specific or professional installation. With an exclusively designed Philips infrared HeLeN gold-tube, the Heatwave Wall patio heater will offer an extremely high lamp life of anywhere between 5,000 – 7,000 hours. A solid aluminium case, features ‘Bi-focus’ reflectors to ensure an even spread of heat across a patio area.
If you have a parasol and are looking for a heater to keep the chill off you whilst entertaining, take a look at the Heatwave 4 lamp parasol heater. Perfect for offering warmth for guests under a parasol or in a gazebo environment, they work simply by clamping to a pole. The parasol heaters are of a smaller IP rating than wall heaters which is perfect in a more confined area. With 4 lamps offering directional heat, it means you are heating the areas you want and offers an economical way to heat any outdoor area. Working from a 230v AC power supply these 4 x 500w heaters can plug into a standard wall socket via the supplied 10 metre lead.
If you have not previously thought about patio heaters electric variations are a great option. With the economy of use they offer, together with great looks, they will enhance any garden area and provide a suitable heat source to keep the party going long after the sun has gone down.
