This fabulous new slimline patio 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 patio 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 patio heater package. Now check out the price!

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.

* for professional installation only.
