Enhance your outdoor space with Herschel infrared patio heaters, designed to provide efficient, instant warmth while maintaining a cozy atmosphere. Infrared heaters warm objects and people directly, making them more effective and energy-efficient than traditional outdoor heating options. Perfect for extending the usability of your patio or garden during cooler months, these heaters create a comfortable environment without the chill. For this installation, we fitted timer-controlled switches set for 1-hour intervals, allowing easy and convenient operation.
We also installed a new RCBO and ran SWA cable from the consumer unit to the heater location, ensuring a safe, compliant, and neat setup that fits perfectly within your space.
Benefits of an RCBO:
An RCBO (Residual Current Breaker with Overcurrent) combines the functions of a circuit breaker and a residual current device (RCD) in one unit. It protects against both overloads and earth faults, enhancing electrical safety by quickly disconnecting power if a fault or leakage current is detected. This helps prevent electrical shocks and reduces the risk of electrical fires. Using RCBOs also allows individual circuits to be isolated without affecting the whole system, making troubleshooting and maintenance safer and more convenient.
Benefits of SWA Cable:
SWA (Steel Wire Armoured) cable is designed for extra mechanical protection and durability, making it ideal for outdoor or underground electrical installations. The steel wire armour shields the cable from physical damage, harsh weather, and rodents, ensuring long-lasting and reliable performance. SWA cable is also robust enough to handle high electrical loads safely, providing peace of mind for heavy-duty applications like powering patio heaters or outdoor lighting.
