Frequently Asked Questions

What is infrared quartz heating

Infrared quartz heater uses the short wavelength, which penetrates the air easier. The infrared generates heat by heating the solid objects that it meets with, without heating the air around making it more efficient, so will not be affected by drafts or breezes.

What do I need to install a Quartz heater unit

Installation could not be simpler a standard 13 amp socket (waterproof if outside) is all that is needed, and mounted with the bracket provided to a convenient wall surface at least 2.3 metres high.

Is quartz heating safe

Yes our quartz infrared elements emit short wave light which cannot be compared with the longer wavelengths of light such as UV, microwave or with X-rays, so are completely safe with no tanning effects.

Do I need planning permission for an awning

Usually not but all councils have their own regulations, most councils have a "do I need enquiry" costing up to £15 some councils being free. This informal service will give advice if a planning application will be required.

How many heaters will I need under my awning

This will depend on the size of awning you choose but we would recommend two heaters under a 4-metre wide awning.
