Infratech Motif CD Series Patio Heater

Yes. Unlike gas heaters that rely on heating the air, the Infratech Motif uses radiant heat. This warms objects and people directly, meaning the heat output remains consistent even in breezy conditions.

Because this unit requires a 240-volt electrical connection and hardwiring, it must be installed by a licensed electrician to ensure safety and compliance with local building codes.

For optimal performance, you should mount this unit between 8 and 12 feet above the floor. Mounting within this range ensures the radiant heat covers the intended area effectively without being too intense or too diffuse.

The heater itself does not include a control system. It is designed to be compatible with various Infratech control options, which you will need to purchase separately to manage the heat settings.

While essential for coastal areas to prevent salt-air corrosion, the marine-grade powder coating is a significant benefit anywhere. It provides superior durability against rain, humidity, and general wear, ensuring the heater maintains its appearance and structural integrity for years.

A single unit is rated to heat an area of approximately 121 square feet. Keep in mind that factors like ambient temperature, wind exposure, and the height at which you mount the unit can influence the effective coverage.
