The Omcan 43124 Patio Heater
The Omcan PH-CN-1400-P is a 55-inch electric column patio heater that provides targeted radiant heat for outdoor dining areas, patios, and covered terraces without requiring a propane tank or gas line. The carbon fibre heating element is more energy-efficient than traditional quartz or ceramic elements because it reaches operating temperature faster and converts a higher percentage of electrical energy into infrared heat that warms people and objects directly instead of heating the surrounding air. At 1,500W on a standard 120V/60Hz circuit, you plug it into any outdoor-rated outlet and it starts producing heat immediately.
Two Power Settings with 360-Degree Tip-Over Safety
Two power settings let you choose between full output for cold nights and a lower setting for milder evenings when you just need to take the edge off. Running on the lower setting also cuts your energy consumption, which adds up over a long patio season. A 360-degree tip-over safety switch automatically kills power if the heater gets knocked over from any direction, which is important in busy patio environments where staff are moving tables and guests are navigating between seating areas. The IP24 rating means the unit is protected against water splashes from all directions, so light rain or a spilled drink will not create a safety hazard.
Powder-Coated Frame with Compact Column Design
The powder-coated frame and base cover resist rust and weathering better than bare metal in outdoor conditions. At 16 x 16 x 55 inches, the column design takes up minimal floor space between tables compared to mushroom-style propane heaters that spread wide at the top. This compact footprint means you can place one heater per table grouping without blocking walkways or taking up a chair position. At just under 30 pounds, it is light enough for your staff to move between zones as your seating layout changes throughout the evening.
