- Does it heat the air or the people?
- It emits infrared, which warms people and objects in its path rather than the surrounding air. You feel warmth quickly, but the patio air itself stays cool.
- Can it be left outside in the rain?
- It is designed for covered outdoor areas. Mount it where it is sheltered from direct rain and splashes, and check the rating for your model before exposed use.
- How much space can it warm?
- Expect spot heating for a small seating group within a few feet of the unit. It will not warm a large open patio the way a gas heater aims to.
- Does it need special wiring?
- It runs on standard household power at 1500W, which is close to the limit of a typical 15A circuit. Avoid sharing that circuit with other high-draw appliances.
- What comes in the box?
- The heater, a remote control and mounting hardware for wall installation are included. Check the manual for the bracket type your wall needs.
- Is it loud?
- There is no fan, so operation is essentially silent apart from the occasional click of the controls.
- Where is the SereneLife Infrared Outdoor Electric Space Heater cheapest?
- At Newegg, for $243.97, as of our latest check.
