Designed for open decking, open patios and other open air locations, it is perfect for outdoor parties and gatherings. Similar to sunshine, infrared heat is a radiant heat that warms a person or an object directly, rather than heating the air in-between. Carbon infrared heat is a soft radiant heat that warms the skin efficiently. Infrared heat can be felt instantly as soon as you turn it on - no waiting for it to "warm up". In addition, an outdoor infrared heater saves energy by using less power to create the same amount of heat as traditional gas heaters and there is no smoke or fumes.
