Australian-Engineered Outdoor Electric & Gas Heaters

Heatstrip is designed, engineered, and assembled in Australia by Thermofilm, a Melbourne-based company founded in 1988 by Robert Reynolds. Thermofilm originally specialized in thin-film carbon-based heating technology, and launched the Heatstrip brand in 2004. The company has been recognized with the Australian Business Award for Product Value (2013) and induction into the Victorian Government's Manufacturing Hall of Fame (2014). Heatstrip heaters are exported worldwide to Europe, North America, Asia, and New Zealand.

Heatstrip offers five series for different applications. The Enhance has a sleek glass-front design for modern aesthetics ($1,349). The Classic is the award-winning all-rounder for protected alfresco areas with optional remote and app control ($999-$1,299). The Intense delivers high-temperature output for exposed outdoor sites and high ceilings ($799). The Max DC is commercial-grade with a low-glow shatterproof element for large spaces ($899-$1,029). Gas heaters offer propane and natural gas options for locations without electrical access ($959-$1,518).

Heatstrip electric heaters carry a 3-year residential warranty and a 2-year commercial warranty covering manufacturer defects in materials and workmanship. This applies across the Classic, Enhance, Intense, and Max DC series. As an authorized Heatstrip dealer, Living Outdoorsy provides the full manufacturer warranty on every Heatstrip product we sell. Warranty registration is required and can be completed online after purchase.

Infrared radiant heaters work fundamentally differently from convection heaters. Instead of heating the air (which wind immediately blows away), infrared heaters emit radiant energy that heats people, furniture, and surfaces directly -- similar to how the sun warms you on a cool day. This makes infrared far more effective outdoors because the heat reaches you regardless of wind or air movement. Heatstrip's carbon filament elements produce instant infrared heat with no warm-up period and no fan noise.

Yes -- Heatstrip offers flush mount kits for the Classic (THH), Enhance (THG), and Intense (THB) series that allow the heater to be recessed into a ceiling for a clean, integrated look. The flush mount kits include a black enclosure and trim options (black or silver depending on the series). This is the preferred installation method for covered patios, pergolas, and outdoor kitchen ceilings where you want the heater to blend into the architecture rather than protrude from the surface.

Yes -- Heatstrip offers both propane (LPG) and natural gas outdoor heaters. The freestanding propane heater kit ($1,518) includes the heater head and stand for a complete portable solution with 31,500 BTU output. The heater head is also available separately ($959) for wall or ceiling mounting. The wall-mounted natural gas heater ($1,249) connects to your existing natural gas line for a permanent installation. Gas heaters are ideal for locations without electrical access or where gas is preferred.

Heatstrip electric heaters operate at 240V and are available in wattages from 2200W to 6000W depending on the series. They require a dedicated electrical circuit installed by a licensed electrician. The Classic and Enhance series are available in 2400W and 3200W options. The Max DC commercial series is available in 4000W and 6000W. All electric models require hardwired installation -- they do not plug into a standard outlet. Heatstrip also offers extension installation poles in black, white, and silver for ceiling-drop mounting.
