A smart home for summer: introducing the latest in patio heater technology

If you’re a big fan of the latest smart home technology, then you’re going to love the latest addition to the BLT Direct product range!

Patio heaters have been around for several years, but the gas models we see in the majority of homes can be costly to run, harmful to the environment and can run out just when you need them most. Infrared patio heaters address all of these concerns and are a lot more energy efficient than you might realise as they heat objects (or in this case, keep your guests warm) by focusing their energy, unlike traditional gas patio heaters that heat the air around them.

As you can imagine, heating air outdoors isn’t exactly effective when it comes to keeping your visitors warm when dining alfresco or enjoying a BBQ, so infrared heaters offer a far better solution to make your outdoor space useable when the sun sets and temperatures begin to drop.

With precise temperature regulation and short response times that can keep your visitors cosy in a matter of minutes, infrared patio heaters are quick and easy to install on walls, outdoor structures and even in churches and community centres that have additional heating needs.

But what really sets our latest range of infrared patio heaters apart is the ability to control them from anywhere in the house with a touch of a smartphone button!

Smart home technology has really taken off in recent years with many forward-thinking homeowners having the ability to control the heat and light in their homes with their smartphone. These smart infrared patio heaters use similar technology to control the heat levels and offer several settings that can combat anything from a slight chill to arctic-style conditions.

Not having to move from the comfort of your patio furniture to replace a gas bottle or adjust a temperature setting on an outdoor patio heater is a real bonus for anyone that enjoys socialising outdoors, and thanks to their effectiveness, it’s far easier to make the most of your outdoor space with an infrared patio heater.

From summer get-togethers with friends to bonfire night celebrations during the cooler months, with a remote-control infrared patio heater, you can spend time outdoors regardless of what the British weather throws at you.
