Outdoor Infrared Heater Installation in Wheelers Hill
Creating a Warm and Welcoming Outdoor Living Space
In Wheelers Hill, a customer contacted Kenner Electrics wanting to transform their outdoor area into a comfortable space they could enjoy year-round. With Melbourne’s chilly evenings often cutting outdoor gatherings short, they decided to install infrared outdoor heaters to make their entertaining area warm and inviting—even through winter. Our licensed electricians were engaged to supply power, install and wire two Heatstrip® 3200W heaters, and ensure the system was safe, efficient, and built to last.
Professional Installation of Heatstrip® Outdoor Heaters
This installation required a complex 32A RCBO-protected power circuit from the switchboard to the nearest power outlet. Due to the home’s layout, this involved careful routing—drilling through an internal wall, lifting roof sheets, and navigating tight under-floor access. Our electricians also installed a dedicated isolation switch for safety and future maintenance. Once the electrical infrastructure was in place, we mounted and connected the two outdoor strip heaters, completing all testing and certification to ensure optimal performance.
Despite the challenging conditions, our team completed the work neatly and efficiently, ensuring that the new heaters blended seamlessly with the home’s design. The result is an elegant, high-performance heating system that delivers instant warmth and extends the comfort of the home’s outdoor entertaining area.
The Benefits of Outdoor Infrared Heating
Infrared heaters work differently from traditional outdoor heaters—they heat people and surfaces directly, rather than wasting energy heating the air. This makes them highly efficient, providing instant warmth without pre-heating. For Melbourne homes, this is particularly beneficial on cool or breezy evenings when conventional heaters can struggle to maintain consistent warmth.
Because they’re electric, infrared heaters are clean, silent, and low-maintenance, with no fumes or open flames. They’re ideal for patios, alfresco dining areas, and poolside spaces, allowing homeowners to comfortably use their outdoor spaces in any season. Choosing a licensed electrician for the installation ensures the heaters are safely wired and compliant with electrical regulations—especially important for high-powered 3200W units installed outdoors.
Expert Advice for Choosing Outdoor Heaters
When planning your outdoor heating, it’s important to choose the right type and placement for your space. Heatstrip® heaters are one of the most trusted options on the market—Australian designed for performance, durability, and sleek aesthetics. Mounting them overhead or along walls ensures even heat coverage without taking up valuable floor space.
If you’re renovating or building, it’s best to plan your outdoor heater installation early. This allows your electrician to design the ideal circuit layout and integrate switches and controls neatly into your home’s existing electrical system. For homeowners upgrading existing spaces, our team can assess your current setup and recommend efficient options that fit your budget and lifestyle.
