Affordable to run

Outside electric heaters use infrared waves to create warmth, so they don’t waste time or energy heating the surrounding air.

By using short-wave energy, warmth is felt as soon as the infrared waves come into contact with people, objects and surfaces – quite literally at the speed of light.

Electric heaters therefore consume less energy and cost less to run than conventional gas-powered models. This makes them the perfect choice for all-day outdoor heat in pub gardens and smoking areas.

Comfort with a click

Most of our electric models can be activated from a distance with the click of a stylish remote control, or – in the case of our bluetooth-enabled heaters – with a few taps on your phone or tablet device.

Whether you’re running a busy commercial facility or hosting a back garden barbecue, remote activation makes it easier to fine-tune the temperature of your space without leaving your guests unattended.

Light enough to live anywhere

Our outdoor electric heaters are made from ultra-lightweight materials such as anodised aluminium and heat-resistant plastic. This provides a wide variety of mounting options to suit different sorts of outdoor space.

Parasol heaters, under-table units, electric wall heaters and hanging pendants – electric models can be situated practically anywhere!

Choosing the best electric patio heater

When our customers ask us how to pick the best electric patio heater, we start by enquiring about their space and how an outdoor heating solution could help them improve it.

The solution we recommend will depend entirely on our customer’s environment and how they prefer to use it.

Our electric heaters fall into three key categories, each of which is offered with a different type of space in mind:

Carbon electric garden heaters

Perfectly suited to large-scale or intimate outdoor environments, carbon heaters like our very own Shadow Carbon 3kW unleash an intense stream of heat that easily cuts through the chilly evening air.

Wrapping the crowds in a comfortable cloak of warmth, the Shadow produces very little glare and can be operated by remote control.

With six variable heater settings, creating the right heat balance for your outdoor area is simple.

Gold (short-wave) outdoor electric heaters

Producing a less intense level of heat,  short-wave models like our Shadow Fatboy Ultra Heat are more appropriate for use at close range. This makes them a popular solution for residential spaces and outdoor dining establishments.

Gold electric heaters warm objects up in a similar way to the sun’s rays. When making contact with people and objects, their short-wave electromagnetic waves are instantly converted into gentle, skin-tingling warmth.

Zero light heaters

Providing immediate warmth with no garish glow, our zero light heating units avoid distracting people and don’t produce the uncomfortable glare that lower-quality models can emit.  

Outside electric heaters like the Shadow NOIR are popular with stylish restaurants, bars and cafés, where customers prefer technology to be unobtrusive and aesthetically pleasing.

Once you’ve selected your ideal category of electric heater, you can explore the vast and varied collection of heater designs we offer.

Electric wall heaters

When floor space is at a premium, a wall-mounted infrared heater could be the easiest way to warm up your restaurant terrace or open-air bar.

Designed especially for professional use and high-end commercial premises, our Shadow XT Oscillating heater can be discreetly mounted on a wall without disrupting a building’s architecture.

Popular with stylish bars and nightspots in London’s West End, the Shadow XT Oscillating heater isn’t merely a neat piece of kit – it’s built to IPx5 ingress protection standards, so it can be used in any outdoor conditions.

Parasol heaters

Whatever the weather, parasols are a popular feature in a pub garden or outdoor bar area. In addition, they offer a discreet mounting point to for an electric heater, keeping your space clear and uncluttered.

Electric parasol heaters greatly improve the experience of eating outdoors – especially during windy weather. Mount them underneath the canopy (around the central pole), and they’ll shine their comforting warmth onto diners.

Parasol heaters come in a variety of sizes – models such as the Solmagic quadruple parasol heater have four lamps, making them ideal for round outdoor tables.

Built with low-glare technology, the Solmagic quadruple heater brings serious warmth to the table without casting an overpowering glow.

Hanging heaters

Pendant infrared heaters can be positioned very discreetly, and are usually built to resemble a stylish ceiling light.

The Solmagic Pendant Sundowner is extremely elegant, and is specifically designed not to jar with historic architectural features. It’s well-suited for use in older buildings such as cathedrals and churches, which are often too large and expensive to keep warm with central heating.

Wonderfully versatile, the Sundowner can be used indoors or outdoors, and can easily be hung from a trellis or gazebo.
