Star Progetti Heliosa 11 Short Wave Infrared Heaters (1500W).
Are you looking for ways to extend the amount of time you can spend outdoors, perhaps under the verandah entertaining friends or relaxing with the family on your outdoor lounge setting, but it’s just to cold?
Many people have investigated outdoor heaters and there’s plenty on the market these days to choose from.
‘Mushroom’ LPG gas heaters are the most popular, but unless you’re sitting right next to them, even with a gentle breeze, you end up paying a lot of money that’s simply disappearing into thin air, plus you’re creating greenhouse gasses at a time when we’re looking for ways to reduce our carbon footprint.
Electric heaters have also been tried outdoors, but with the same issue of having to sit so close otherwise again you’re just heating the air which drifts away, along with your money!
Thanks to Inviron’s range of Star Progetti Italian manufactured outdoor infrared heaters using ‘near’ or short wave infrared technology, there is now a cost effective way to stay warm outdoors.
Residential Use
The Heliosa 11 is perfect for heating small outdoor spaces, warming an area of about 3.5m by 3.5m, making them ideal for balconies, attached beneath our outdoor umbrellas, mounted to the wall under a verandah, in fact if you attach them to one of the Helios stands (sold separately), you can stay warm anywhere within your garden.
Commercial Hospitality Use
If you’re running a café or restaurant that has a garden environment, outdoor seating area or perhaps you have a large area you’d like to keep your customers warm while they eat, you could install several strategically spaced out.
Feel free to contact Inviron to have one of their heating specialists work out how many of the Heliosa 11 Short Wave infrared heaters you’d need to keep your patrons warm, or perhaps one of the other infrared outdoor heaters from the hospitality range would suit your needs better allowing your guests to spend more time eating and drinking.
These clever short wave infrared-heaters have a 92% radiant efficiency, which means you feel warmth even in windy conditions because the heat doesn’t drift away with a breeze, they heat objects like you and not the air.
There’s no wasted energy pre-heating, reaching full power within 1 second of switching on and thanks to the patented InFraCaLoR® amber halogen lamp there’s an 80% reduction in light output compared to traditional infrared lamps, similar to the ambience of an open fire.
At 2.3m above the ground, the Heliosa 11 projects heat to a distance of 2.5m (can be felt 3.5m away) and covers a width of 3.5m.
These outdoor heaters can be mounted on a wall or from the ceiling as well to a ‘Scala stand’ to allow mobility. The stylish casing is powder-coated aluminium, finished in glossy Carrara White or textured Cast Iron Grey.
To make it easier for DIY enthusiasts, the heater comes with a ’tilt-and-swivel’ bracket for wall mounting and a short hook bracket for canopy or umbrella mounting.
A long hook mount or an 150mm extension bracket can be purchased from Inviron, which will allow mounting from a beam, a ceiling or wall under the eaves.
The heater comes with a stainless-steel protective grill which is optional, but we strongly recommend that it’s fitted prior to installation and a 5m lead (no plug) so that it can be wired into an electrical circuit, which Inviron’s A Class electricians can install for you.
