Patios and Alfresco
Heliosa short-wave infrared patio heating offers the most efficient and instant heating solution suitable for both residential and hospitality outdoor alfresco spaces.
Elevate your outdoor spaces with our short-wave infrared patio heaters
Heliosa heaters utilise the most efficient short-wave infrared radiance, ensuring that over 92% of the energy used is transformed into heat. This leads to savings of up to 60% when compared to other traditional infrared heaters. The key to this efficiency is that short-wave infrared directly heats people and objects.
Similar to the sun breaking through the clouds on a cold day, you’ll experience instant warmth that stays where it’s needed without rising to the ceiling or escaping through windows or doors. Heliosa short-wave infrared patio heaters feature an Italian styling design, making them ideal for heating homes and hospitality areas.
With the largest reflectors available on the market, they create a cosy ambience, allowing you to extend the outdoor season throughout the year. Be sure check out our case studies:

Testimonials
Amazing heaters. The heat is really good in my alfresco area. The heat only comes from the front and the back is relatively cool to touch. Installed with a smart powerpoint so I can switch on and off remotely. Bought 2 and installed both, most of the time would only need the 1. Past experience with the other heaters suggested 2, but I should have listened to the folks at Infrared Australia. Will get more for the another outdoor area.
Tony has done it again, coming through with expert service! We bought two Heliosa 44 heaters a couple of years ago and I recently came back for another to heat our outdoor lounge area. If you want instant warmth at up to 3 m or so with a nice wide heated area, you can’t go past these short wave IR heaters. Our guests are always amazed.
I have just installed a Heliosa Wide Angle infrared heater on my verandah. It’s superb – even better than I was expecting. Switch it on and the heat from it is instant. In fact, it’s a very pleasant heat to be in. It’s quite phenomenal what a difference it makes to sitting outside on a chilly morning or evening, I can get year round use of my verandah now
Frequently Asked Questions – Heliosa Short-wave Infrared Heaters
How do Short-Wave Infrared Heaters work?
Heliosa short-wave infrared heaters work by generating intense bursts of radiant heat in the form of short-wave infrared radiation. The heater uses the patented parabolic reflector and InFraCaLoR® halogen lamp that rapidly heats up when electricity is applied to it (within 1 second of switching on). Our short-wave infrared heaters emit focused infrared radiation that directly heats objects and people within their range. This rapid and efficient heating process ensures that you feel warmth almost instantly, making them ideal for outdoor and large indoor spaces.
How effective are Short-wave infrared heaters?
Multiply the heater’s rated kilowatts by your electricity kilowatt-hour rate. While costs are similar to most heaters on the market, consider radiant efficiency for optimal results. Short-wave infrared heaters, boasting 92% radiant efficiency, deliver more heat per kilowatt-hour. This efficiency is crucial for outdoor spaces, making them a more effective and economical choice.
How many heaters do I need?
The ideal number depends on factors like your outdoor space size, desired temperature, and heater coverage. Calculate wattage based on space and insulation, with one Heliosa 66 heater covering up to 20m². For personalised solutions optimising efficiency, contact our team for outdoor heating layout design service.
How long does it take to heat a space after installing a Heliosa Infrared Heater?
You typically do not need to pre-heat your space after installing a Heliosa infrared heater. These heaters emit radiant heat that warms objects and people directly, without the need to warm the surrounding air first. This means you can enjoy immediate warmth as soon as you turn on the heater. It’s a quick and efficient heating solution, making it unnecessary to wait for the entire space to reach a certain temperature before feeling comfortable.
How often do I replace the bulbs?
The InFraCaLoR® halogen lamps used in Heliosa heaters can be replaced, and we hold stocks for replacement. However, the manufacturer suggests a life of up to 7000 hours, depending on usage patterns. This effectively means that within a residential environment, they last many years.
How do I control the heaters?
Most outdoor applications do not require a controller when using Heliosa short-wave infrared heaters because of the instant heat. Heliosa can be installed with controllers or timers, offering greater flexibility and efficiency in usage – adjusting the heat output, or setting a timer to switch off the heater automatically.
Are there any Heliosa heaters with no light emission or ‘glow’?
Heliosa heaters use short-wave infrared waves to warm up surroundings. Short-wave infrared waves are closer to the visible part of the electromagnetic spectrum. Therefore, while operating, some energy is used to emit light and the rest to provide instant, powerful heat. This visible light is actually less than 6% of the total output.
