What is a halogen patio heater?
A halogen patio heater uses shortwave infrared technology to produce instant warmth. It heats up quickly and provides immediate comfort, making it ideal for outdoor spaces.
How do halogen patio heaters work?
Halogen patio heaters contain a tungsten filament that heats up to approximately 2200ºC, emitting 95% of its energy in short-wave infrared wavelengths, which directly warms people and objects rather than the air.
Are halogen patio heaters energy-efficient?
Yes, halogen patio heaters are highly energy-efficient. They provide instant heat and reduce energy consumption by warming only the occupied areas without needing to heat the entire space.
Are halogen heaters safe to use outdoors?
Absolutely! Halogen patio heaters are designed for outdoor use and come with weather-resistant features. Many models have safety certifications and protective IP ratings to ensure durability and safety in various weather conditions.
How long do halogen patio heater bulbs last?
Halogen bulbs typically last between 2,000 to 4,000 hours, depending on usage and the specific model. Regular maintenance and careful handling can help extend their lifespan.
Can I use a halogen patio heater indoors?
While halogen patio heaters can be used indoors, it's essential to ensure proper ventilation to avoid any potential build-up of heat. They are primarily designed for outdoor use, so consider your space before installation.
How far should I place a halogen patio heater from seating areas?
For optimal warmth and safety, it's recommended to place halogen patio heaters at least 1.8 to 2.4 metres (6 to 8 feet) away from seating areas. This distance ensures effective heating while minimising the risk of accidental burns or overheating.
