What are the Best Portable Infrared Heaters?

What are the Best Portable Infrared Heaters?

Providing effective and reliable warmth, portable infrared heaters come with the added bonus of mobility and customisation that you won’t find in heaters that have been permanently installed. If you’re looking to give your home or garden heating an overhaul, we have the answer. Infrared heaters are easy to install, affordable and efficient – making them ideal for a number of spaces. Today, we’re looking at three of our favourite portable heaters and what makes them such a great option for your space.

Why portable infrared heaters make a great alternative

Limitless mobility

You don’t need to buy multiple heaters to suit multiple areas. Whether you’re in or out, as long as there’s a plug socket handy, you can move your heater to wherever suits you. With cable lengths of up to 1.9 metres, our selection of portable heaters can be repositioned at ease, reaching exactly where you need them.

DIY-friendly

Getting your portable heater up and running requires only the most rudimentary DIY skills. Just attach your heater to its compatible stand or feet and plug in to a socket with an appropriate IP rating. Before you know it, you’ll be reaping the benefits of your new heater without having had to shell out or spend hours studying jargon-heavy manuals.

Heat that travels

We’re not just talking about the impressive heat dispersion of infrared heaters. If you’re going away for the weekend, why not take a bit of home with you? Our heaters are slim and lightweight and can be transported effortlessly to provide you with the same reliable comfort no matter where you are.

Adapts to your needs

Indoors

Portable infrared heaters are hugely beneficial for those hard-to-heat indoor areas, such as conservatories. Being able to simply pick up your heater and use it as a supplementary heat source in an otherwise draughty space can bring new purpose to rooms you probably avoid during cold weather.

Outdoors

Portable patio heaters are great for those spontaneous outdoor hangouts: simply get them out whenever the mood suits. With height adjustment, you can modify the heater’s elevation to direct its warmth even more specifically. You’re not restricted by your purchase either; if you decide down the line you’d like to make yours a permanent fixture, all of our portable patio heaters are suitable for wall and ceiling installation as well.
