FAQ's

Is the Sorrento Single suitable for outdoor use?

Yes. It is specifically designed for outdoor environments and performs well in exposed and windy conditions.

What is the difference between Sorrento Single and Double?

The Single uses one heating lamp for focused heat, while the Double provides higher output and wider coverage.

Can multiple units be installed together?

Yes. The Sorrento range is designed to be modular, allowing multiple heaters to be grouped for larger areas.

Is it better than gas patio heaters?

In most cases, yes. Infrared heaters are more efficient as they heat people directly rather than the surrounding air.

Where is this heater most effective?

It is ideal for terraces, pub gardens, industrial spaces and outdoor commercial areas requiring strong directional heat.

1. How much area does the Sorrento Single actually heat?
The Sorrento Single is designed to cover approximately 12 to 14 square metres, depending on the mounting height and environmental conditions. It’s ideal for individual tables or specific workstations.

2. How much does it cost to run per hour?
Based on an average UK electricity tariff of 28p/kWh, a 1.5kW unit costs roughly 42p per hour to run at full power. This is significantly cheaper and more eco-friendly than traditional gas heaters.

3. Is this heater safe to leave out in the rain?
Yes. The Sorrento Single is fully weatherproof and IP-rated, meaning it is built to withstand rain, snow, and dust without the need for a protective cover or frequent removal.

4. Can I plug this into a standard 3-pin socket?
The 1.5kW and 2.0kW models are often supplied with a lead, but for commercial environments, we recommend a hard-wired installation by a qualified electrician into a dedicated circuit with a Type C (Motor rated) breaker to handle the initial start-up surge.

5. How long do the bulbs last and are they replaceable?
The high-quality gold lamps are rated for approximately 7,000 hours of use. When they eventually reach the end of their life, replacement lamps are readily available through Eco Friendly Heating.

6. Does it come with mounting brackets?
Yes, every Sorrento Single comes with heavy-duty adjustable wall brackets as standard, allowing you to angle the heat exactly where it is needed most.

7. Is there a "No Glare" version available?
While the standard Sorrento Single emits a warm glow, we can supply low-glare lamps or a Ceramic (No Glare) version if you require heat without the visible red light.

8. Why is this more "Eco Friendly" than a gas heater?
Unlike gas heaters that warm the air (which then blows away), infrared warms people directly. It produces zero direct CO2 emissions and, when used with a green energy tariff, provides a 100% carbon-neutral heating solution.
What maintenance is required?

9. These units are virtually maintenance-free. Unlike gas heaters, they require no annual safety servicing. Owners simply need to ensure the unit is switched off and cool before occasionally wiping the body and reflector with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust.
