Tansun Monaco Double Outdoor Infrared Heaters Heating Outdoor Dining Area At Piccolino In Alderley Edge

Bars and restaurants have often sought to heat outdoor areas in a bid to increase their use in evenings and on cooler days.

However, the COVID-19 pandemic has meant it has become essential for many businesses. Having hospitable outdoor spaces at all times of the day and year has enabled some in the hospitality sector to open profitably when there have been restrictions on hosting customers indoors. Even when restrictions are not in place, the hospitality trade has seen a greater desire amongst customers to sit outside. For some, this is because of the lower risk of catching COVID outdoors. For others, it has simply become something that they prefer.

Zero emissions

In heating outdoor areas, it is important to factor-in environmental considerations. Increasingly, gas-based patio heater systems are being rejected as they generate significant carbon emissions. Instead, many are turning to electric heating systems as they offer the potential for zero emissions at the point of use if renewable energy is used to power them. Of the options available, infrared is a popular choice as it offers very high efficiency ratings - up to 98% of energy is converted into heat

As a respected UK manufacturer of infrared heaters for over 35 years, Tansun have thoroughly researched this market and understood the problem. This is why Tansun have developed a range of elegant weatherproof outdoor heaters that are fully IP rated, specially designed to heat outdoors.
