Patios, terraces, courtyards – these aren’t fair-weather luxuries anymore. Postpandemic, customers expect venues to make these areas work year-round, not just during the three weeks of British summer.
Unfortunately, the weather rarely gets the memo, and venues that don’t plan ahead lose out.
Capri and Elba – heating that makes money
Both ATC’s Capri and Elba electric heaters use shortwave infrared to provide instant heat where it’s needed. No warm-up time, no wasted energy. But these aren’t just heaters. They’re moneymakers, potentially extending the summer season by a month, as well as adding two more hours to evening service in summer. Even after factoring in heating costs, that’s a tidy profit. And with high-quality units like Capri and Elba, you can expect to extend the season beyond a single month. Heating is often seen as a cost centre, but done right, it’s a profit driver.
Save £6.8k* a year by choosing electric
Gas heaters burn through budgets, but electric delivers savings on cost, carbon and emissions. Pair with ATC’s optional HS500 HeatSTAT digital thermostat, and you these heaters can be run on a set schedule. Alternatively, our Time Lag switch (EXTLSW16A) allows on-demand activation for a set duration. Both options save energy, which is important for clients looking to future-proof against rising fuel costs and emissions targets.
Big terrace or small balcony? There’s a heater that fits.
Elba: more power, more coverage.
Capri: compact install, great for smaller spaces.
Elba’s larger size (190 x 460 x 110mm) and extended heat throw off er roughly 8m² more coverage than Capri (107 x 570 x 115mm), making it ideal for larger terraces and commercial areas. But that extra output can be too much for compact spaces like small balconies. In those cases, the stylish Capri is the smarter spec.
Both IP55 electric heaters come pre-wired with matching wall brackets, ensuring a fast and hassle-free installation. No additional components required. And with ATC’s 2-year warranty, you’re covered right from the first fix.
Recommend electric, and you’re not just saving clients money – you’re helping them earn it. That’s advice they remember.
