Engineered for durability and performance, the Sorrento Single by Tansun is a staple for UK commercial venues. Supplied by Eco Friendly Heating, this heater uses premium shortwave infrared technology to heat people directly rather than the air, ensuring zero heat loss even in windy conditions.
Its lightweight, die-cast aluminium body is fully weatherproof (IP rated), allowing for permanent outdoor installation in the most demanding environments. Whether you are looking to extend the outdoor season for a restaurant terrace or provide spot heating in a cold warehouse, the Sorrento Single delivers instant, odourless, and silent heat. With a modular design, it can be installed individually or grouped to create a comprehensive heating system tailored to your space.

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.
