This fabulous new slimline heater with gold element combines outstanding performance, great reliability and very low running costs. ALFRESCO Weathersafeª features Crystal safety glass. This type of glass allows virtually all the heat to pass through it, overcoming the main cause of premature element failure found in other glass-fronted heaters. Unlike many other weatherproof heaters, ALFRESCO Weathersafeª is perfect for the harshest environments including coastal locations. This is because the element and reflector are sealed against the weather, and stainless steel exterior fittings are used. Supplied complete with a 5 metre cable and plug, and a wing nut for easy installation and removal. Stainless steel tilt and swivel mounting bracket and good quality raw bolts are included. This is an unbeatable package. Now check out the price!

Sunbrero heater

CE logo
Weathersafe logo

The compact Sunbrero 1.5kW is ideally suited to all outdoor applications, but it is particularly suitable for use under parasols, awnings and other canopies. The Sunbrero makes a superb inexpensive wall-mounted heater, but it is also supplied with a bracket for easy attachment to parasol spars. In most cases, parasols can be closed down with the heaters in situ, once they have cooled down. Four heaters will allow each quadrant of a rectangular parasol to be heated to perfection. Sunbrero is IPX5 rated which makes it safe for year round outdoor use in all weather conditions.

CC1 Comfort Controller + soft start

 
 


The CC1 Comfort Controller enables the heat output from up to 3kW of SunSwitch infra red heaters to be manually adjusted for complete comfort control, while also providing a soft-start to maximise element life. One CC1 will control up to two 1.3kW Weathersafe heaters. These are strongly recommended where heaters are installed beneath awnings. The advanced phase angle circuit has been specially developed for quartz halogen heaters. When turned down, the CC1 also reduces energy consumption which, in the long run, more than offsets the purchase price. The CC1 is extremely simple to install with just neutral, live and earth inputs, and connections to the heater/s.
