The Element Is The Wear Part.
The housing outlasts several elements. Matching the right one to your model is a five minute job that saves replacing a heater that is otherwise fine.
Dual element, 4,000 watts, rated by Infratech at 8 by 10 feet in average conditions.
A licensed electrician should make the connection and confirm the voltage at your property.
One element across five feet of housing, rated at 10 by 10 feet, and the body that accepts the decorative fronts.
Motif fronts are ordered with the heater or added later as an upgrade kit.
Six thousand watts across a five foot housing, rated at 11 by 11 feet and mountable as high as twelve feet.
At 25 amps this one wants its own circuit. Your electrician will size it.
Four and three quarter inches wide with a T slot mount, rated at 10 by 10 feet.
Slim Line mounts up to ten feet high, lower than the W and C series ceiling.

Replace The Element, Keep The Heater.
The element is the part that wears. The housing, the wiring and the mount are all still good, so matching a new element to the model is the cheapest repair in the category.
3 Things Worth Knowing About Elements
The Model Number Is On The Unit
Elements are matched to a specific model and wattage. Send us the model number or a photo and we will confirm the right one before it ships.
An Element Is Cheaper Than A Heater
If the housing, wiring and mount are sound, an element brings the unit back for a fraction of the cost of replacing it.
Fitting Is Still Electrical Work
Infratech requires a licensed electrician for service as well as installation.
The Rest Of The Range
Heaters, the controls that run them, the frames that hide them and the parts that keep them going.
Questions We Get Asked
If yours is not here, call us. We would rather answer it now than have you guess.
How do I find the right element?
From the model number on the unit or on your original paperwork. A photo works too. We confirm the match against Infratech before anything ships.
Do I need 120 volt or 240 volt?
240 volt for almost every patio. Infratech only recommends a 120 volt heater for an enclosed space no larger than 5 by 5 feet, so if you are heating a real seating area, 240 volt is the answer. The 120 volt units also draw far more current for the same heat: a 1,500 watt heater pulls 12.5 amps at 120 volt and 6.3 amps at 240 volt.
How high should it be mounted?
Infratech ties a height range to every model, from 6 to 7 feet on a 1,500 watt unit up to 8 to 12 feet on a 6,000 watt one. Their listing floor is 6 feet for a UL Listed heater and 8 feet for a UL and CUL Listed one, and their own suggested minimum is 7 feet. Mount higher than the range and the heat spreads too thin; mount lower and it is uncomfortable overhead.
How many heaters will I need?
It depends on the area and how exposed it is, and the planner on this page works it out from Infratech’s own coverage chart. As a shape of the answer, a 4,000 watt dual element unit is rated to cover 8 by 10 feet in average conditions, and Infratech says outright that most spaces need more than one heater.
Can it go under a covered patio?
Yes, and it works better there. Infratech states that indoor or well protected environments generally exceed the average coverage figure, while extremely cold or windy spots deliver less. Keep 12 inches to the ceiling on a wall mount and 6 inches on a ceiling mount, and angle a wall mounted unit between 30 and 60 degrees so the warmth reaches people from the side rather than straight down on their heads.
What clearances does it need?
Infratech publishes the same figures across every series: 36 inches in front of the heater, 18 inches at the sides and ends, and 6 inches behind. Allow 18 inches to an adjacent wall. These are minimums to combustible surfaces and they are worth handing to your installer before anything is mounted.
Who should install it?
A licensed electrician. Infratech says it plainly in every manual, and adds that an electrician should confirm the actual voltage at your property before anything is ordered. We can tell you the amp draw of each model so the circuit gets sized properly, but the wiring is not a job to take on yourself.
What is the difference between the W Series and the C Series?
Heat output is identical model for model, and so is coverage, mounting height and amp draw. The difference is the body and what it will accept. The W Series has short standoffs and a flatter profile for tight architectural installs. The C Series is the one that takes the decorative motif fronts, in Contemporary, Craftsman, Mediterranean and Traditional.
Do I need a control, or does it just switch on?
A heater needs something to switch it, and which control depends on how many you are running and whether you want to dim or zone them. The range runs from a simple on and off switch plate through analog and solid state controls with timers, up to relay panels and home management panels for multiple zones. Tell us the layout and we will spec the control side with the heaters.
