Outdoor Heating Installation in Glen Iris
Stay cosy year-round with electric outdoor heating
Kenner Electrics recently helped a Glen Iris family upgrade their outdoor area so they could enjoy their back verandah even on cold Melbourne nights. They were after an outdoor heating solution that was effective, low-maintenance and suited to an undercover space. We recommended the HEATSTRIP 3200W Classic electric infrared heaters — a great alternative to gas.
Why Choose Infrared Electric Heaters for Outdoor Areas
The benefits of radiant heating for verandahs and patios
Unlike traditional heaters that warm the air, infrared electric heaters work by emitting radiant heat — similar to the warmth you feel from the sun. This heat directly warms people and surfaces in its path, making it ideal for outdoor or open areas where warm air would normally escape. They're fast-acting, energy-efficient, silent, and don’t require ventilation or gas bottles, which makes them perfect for covered patios, verandahs and alfresco spaces.
Professional Installation by Local Melbourne Electricians
Customisable Heating for Verandahs and Alfresco Spaces
After chatting through the options, the homeowners decided to go ahead with two heaters to get even warmth across the whole verandah. Our electricians, Tim and Max, handled the full installation, including setting up a new 32A circuit to safely power the heaters. To make space in the switchboard, we replaced three older breakers with modern RCBOs and added a 35A isolation switch for safety. As always, we also carried out a complimentary Home Electrical Safety Inspection to check the rest of the home’s electrical system was in good shape.
Customisable Heating for Verandahs and Alfresco Spaces
Flexible remote control options for HEATSTRIP infrared heaters
The heaters were initially set up to respond to the same remote control—ideal for this type of space where both units are usually used together. However, the remotes can easily be reprogrammed for individual control down the track if needed.

The finished result is a beautifully warmed and welcoming verandah that can now be enjoyed year-round, no matter the weather. Justin and Louise Fletcher were thrilled with the outcome, saying:

We are very pleased with the quality workmanship and customer service we received. We'll certainly be recommending Kenner Electrics in future—thank you again for your great service!”
