Infratech Motif Patio Heater

Because this unit requires a hardwired 240-volt electrical connection, it must be installed by a licensed electrician. Permanent overhead mounting also requires adherence to specific clearance guidelines to ensure safety and optimal performance.

Unlike gas heaters that warm the surrounding air, this infrared heater uses radiant energy to warm people and objects directly. This makes it significantly more efficient for outdoor use, as the heat isn't easily blown away by the wind.

Yes, the unit is built with durable stainless steel and is weather-resistant. However, for the best longevity and performance, it is recommended to install it in a covered area, such as under a patio roof or pergola.

The Motif series is designed specifically for aesthetics. While it delivers the same high-performance heating as other Infratech models, the decorative faceplates allow you to customize the look to match your home's architectural style, making the heater a design feature rather than just a utility.

The heater itself is a hardwired unit, but you can add a separate Infratech control system—such as a wall-mounted switch or a remote control relay panel—to adjust the heat intensity and power the unit on and off.

A single 2000-watt unit typically provides comfortable warmth for an area roughly 6 to 8 feet wide, depending on mounting height and environmental conditions. For larger seating areas, you may need to install multiple units to ensure consistent coverage.
