Know before you buy
This heater is designed specifically for enclosed or semi-enclosed outdoor spaces. Because it uses infrared radiant technology, it performs best in areas protected from direct wind, which can disperse the heat before it reaches you.
Yes, due to its 6000-watt power rating and 240V requirement, this unit must be hardwired by a licensed electrician. It is not a plug-and-play device and requires a dedicated circuit.
The Cobalt 56" does not feature an adjustable thermostat or variable heat settings. It operates at a fixed, high-output level to provide consistent warmth across your patio area.
No, the exterior of the heater is not cool-touch. Because it is constructed from stainless steel and utilizes high-output quartz elements, the housing will become hot during operation and should be mounted out of reach.
The heater is designed for wall mounting and features a low-profile design that requires minimal vertical clearance. Always ensure the mounting surface is sturdy enough to support the 22-pound weight and that you adhere to the manufacturer's specified clearance distances from combustible materials.
Unlike convection heaters that warm the air, this infrared unit warms objects and people directly. This makes it much more efficient for outdoor use, as it provides immediate warmth without being affected by air movement as significantly as gas or electric convection heaters.
