Infratech CD-5224 Series Dual Element 48" Infrared Electric Patio Heater, 240 Volt

Product Details

A middle ground for larger residential patios or smaller commercial dining spaces means more coverage without stepping up to the top wattage tier. The CD-5224 stretches the design to 48", covering up to 160 square feet.

Inset mounting brackets keep the install looking intentional rather than bolted-on. Run one element for a light chill-off or both for full heat, and control it with a switch, timer, or home automation system.

Specifications FAQ

Infratech CD-5224 Series Dual Element 48″ Infrared Electric Patio Heater (240 V) Frequently Asked Questions

What makes the Infratech CD-5224 Series patio heater ideal for outdoor use?

The Infratech CD-5224 is a 48-inch long dual-element infrared electric patio heater rated at 5,200 watts (240 V) and designed to deliver strong radiant heat to people and objects rather than just heating the air. Its durable stainless steel (or color-finish) housing and low-profile design make it well-suited for patios, decks and commercial outdoor spaces.

What area can the CD-5224 model cover, and at what mounting height?

When mounted at around 8-10 feet high, this model can effectively cover an outdoor area of roughly 10′ × 10′ thanks to its 5,200-watt output.

What are the key specifications I should check before buying?

For mounting the CD-5224, note that it measures about 48″ long and 8.19″ wide × ~2.5″ high (depending on finish). It draws about 21.7 amps at 240 volts. Ensure your circuit and breaker are sized appropriately, and that clearance and mounting height meet manufacturer guidelines.

How does infrared heating differ from traditional outdoor heaters and why choose this one?

Infrared heaters like this one heat objects and people directly, rather than primarily warming the surrounding air. That means they’re less affected by wind, more energy efficient for outdoor spaces, and provide instant warmth where it’s needed.

What installation and mounting options are available for the CD-5224?

This heater supports wall, ceiling or pole mounting configurations (depending on your setup and accessory brackets). It’s designed for outdoor use and requires careful clearance and proper electrical wiring. Always follow the installation instructions and local code requirements.
