Stop Losing Money Every Time the Temperature Drops
Let’s be honest: the second it hits 15°C (60°F), your patio becomes a ghost town. It’s a waste of space and a hit to your wallet. Most people try to fix this by heating the air. But that’s a losing battle. The wind just blows the warmth away, and you’re left paying a massive electric bill for a breeze. We do things differently. Our infrared heaters don’t care about the air. They go straight for the people and the furniture. It’s a direct hit of warmth that makes your guests feel cozy the second they sit down, even if there’s a chill in the air. The secret is in the speed. We use short-wave tech. Instead of waiting for a room to “warm up,” this stuff works instantly. When you’re planning your layout, you want enough power—usually between 600W and 1000W per person—so guests aren’t shivering while they look at the menu. When people are warm, they stay. When they stay, they order another round of drinks or a dessert. It’s that simple. Built for the real world Patios are brutal on equipment. Rain, humidity, salt air—it all eats through cheap gear. That’s why we use waterproof housings and alloys that don’t rust. One quick heads-up on the install: these units pull a lot of power. Just make sure your breaker panels can handle the load. The last thing you need is the lights going out right in the middle of a Friday night rush. Getting the height right Here is the tricky part: placement. If you mount these too low, you’ll bake your customers. Nobody likes feeling like they’re under a heat lamp at a buffet. But if they’re too high, you’re wasting energy. It’s all about finding that sweet spot where the guest feels a gentle, consistent warmth. At the end of the day, it’s about the math. When you stop closing your outdoor section for the winter, you’re suddenly making your property work harder for you. You get more people through the door, more rotations per night, and a patio that actually makes money all year round.
