The stylish and powerful SUMMIT is an ideal choice for both indoor space heating applications and outdoor covered, sheltered areas. Designed with the latest Kanthal AF heating elements and finished with a GE IR enhancing coating, the SUMMIT provides an energy efficient heating solution for those areas that require effective comfort heating without the light emitted by medium-Infrared heaters.
The SUMMIT is suitable for indoor locations where airflow is low or manageable and can be both wall mounted or hung directly overhead from the ceiling, maximising the heating in the area directly underneath the heater. The slimline and tasteful SUMMIT is an excellent solution for restaurants, bars, shops and similar indoor environments seeking a stylish, yet discreet, heating solution for their space.
If used outdoors the Herschel SUMMIT must be under permanent cover and fully protected against the risk of any water ingress or exposure to rainfall. In exposed areas with air movement and wind, the far infrared spread may reduce by 1/3 to 1/2. In such instances, we recommend proportionally increasing the number of heaters, or for colder, windier situations, choosing a heater from our Sunset or Performance outdoor range.
SUMMIT 2600R has a handheld remote control providing 2 power settings (100% and 50%) and a 1-24 hour timer. It must be operated via the handheld remote control and cannot be linked to any any controller. The SUMMIT 2600 (Non-remote model) can be used with external thermostat controllers, such as the Herschel iQ MD2, allowing thermostatic and App control.
An outdoor or patio heater uses infrared (also known as radiant) heat to directly warm people within proximity of the heater. These come as electric infrared / patio heaters, gas heaters or firepits/chimineas.
Gas heaters are highly inefficient as they consume a high amount of gas for the relative heat output and are very bad for the environment due to the high CO2 levels. They are also very inconvenient with heavy gas cannisters or complex installation.
Fire pits / chimineas are a bit better for the environment and can create a nice atmosphere. However, they are usually very smelly and of course need constant attention, supplies of wood etc and are not practical for most urban areas or anything more than occasional use.
Herschel’s patio heaters are the most efficient form of electric outdoor heating. The infrared heat output can be directed exactly where it is required, they are totally silent, maintenance free, have long lifetimes and are the most environmentally friendly form of outdoor heating, especially when powered by a renewable energy source. As the energy grid continues to decarbonise the environmental credentials will improve further.
How do infrared heaters work? Infrared heaters work by converting electricity into radiant heat. Infrared is part of the electromagnetic spectrum. The heat is the same feeling of warmth as the winter sun on your face and the heat from a coal fire. It is even the same form of heat emitted by your own body. It is the most basic form of heating known to man.
Infrared is the direct transfer of heat from the heater to the object (you and the room around you) without heating the air in between. It’s the same heat we feel from an environment warmed by the sun, and the wavelength most efficiently absorbed by the body. It is 100% safe and natural (it’s UV from the sun that is harmful, not infrared).
Today, new technology, in the form of our 100% energy efficient, Herschel Infrared heating, allows us to use infrared radiant heating in a stylish, comfortable and highly controllable way.
