An Infrared Heater Suitable for Households & Small businesses

The ALF30 infrared heater is a good choice for businesses or homeowners who do not have a lot of electric power at their disposal. The ALF30 operates as a single electric IR radiant element, outdoor patio infrared heater in Ireland and the UK.

This single element outdoor heater runs on 3kW. The ALF30 heater covers a slightly bigger area than the ALF25. This electric outdoor heater is perfect for those patios and spaces that are about 3m by 3m. You could recess the ALF30 electric heater into your ceiling or veranda to get a wider coverage.

The ALF30 electric heater can be sold and connected to the rear of an existing socket, provided that the circuit is clean. Just make sure that nothing else is drawing power from that socket.

Alfresco’s infrared heating elements ALF30 have a long lifespan

Alfresco’s infrared heating patented elements have an extremely long lifespan of 7000+ hours. You have nearly instant heat available at your fingertips 24/7.

Your ALF30 patented radiant elements are not subject to the huge current inrush that halogen heaters encounter. Our electric elements have a soft start. Meaning that you can turn the element on and off with motion sensors and timers with little effect on the life of the element. Our elements last for over 7000+ hours.

Additionally, our patented chromium element has a micro-thin shield that reflects about 94% of the heat produced. Since our IR heating elements are producing 94% IR heat, this means our electric heaters are energy efficient.

The ALF30 is an energy efficient infrared heater that saves you money. Combine our 94% infrared heat generating patented element, with a 98% pure aluminium mirror polished parabolic reflector, and you get 100% infrared heat reflected outward. You get an element that produces 94% infrared heat and 6% light.

Our energy efficient patented elements save you money. None of that heat is drifting away. IR heating heats you and your guests directly. You feel a constant pleasant warmth. In turn, you are reducing your carbon footprint.

Are outdoor infrared heaters safe?

The short answer is yes they are. Alfresco IR heaters use a medium wavelength patented electric element. So, you feel a comfortable warmth on your skin. Our infrared heaters produce the same IR heat as the sun, minus the UV rays.

Your ALF30 infrared wall mounted heater will be on the wall, at least 1.9 meters high or recessed into the ceiling. So, there is no risk of your child or pet touching the element or heater.

At Alfresco we use quality materials to build our IR heaters

The Alfresco ALF30 infrared outdoor heater is built in Cork, Ireland. We use the highest quality materials. For example, we use 100% G4 stainless steel. The stainless steel can withstand harsh winter conditions without risk of corrosion.

We use 98% pure mirror finish aluminium reflectors. These pure aluminium reflectors enable the maximum amount of heat to be projected outwards instead of the rear of the heater. The ALF30 heater is manufactured for commercial and domestic purposes. The ALF30 infrared heater will deliver all your required heating needs.

Save energy with Alfresco’s ALF30 infrared heaters

Important factors to remember with outdoor IR heating:

• Keep the space between you and the ALF30 infrared heater clear. 
• Use the ALF30 electric heater in a semi enclosed space or spot
• This way you get the best results in keeping your guests warm.
• Use a motion sensor & timer

By keeping the space between you and the ALF30 infrared heater clear you feel the most heat. IR heating does not warm the surrounding air. This means that if there is something blocking the infrared heater, you will not feel the heat.

Motion sensors are a great way to get the most from your electric heater. When there is motion the outdoor heater turns on. Our patented elements are not affected by the number of times you turn the element on and off. This in turn saves you money. You are not heating a space for no reason. Our elements last a minimum of 7000+ hours.

Using a timer, the ALF30 turns off when there is no movement in the area. We also recommend using your infrared heater in a semi enclosed space. Since the ALF30 heats you directly, there are no CO2 emissions. You are breathing fresh air in the comfort of your outdoor patio.

Additionally, our patented chromium element has a micro-thin shield that is approximately 94% reflective, avoiding heat dissipation and emitting an additional 20% intense full power heat in the desired direction.
