Herschel Miami Black 2000W Infrared Patio Heater

Compact, powerful wall, ceiling or parasol-mounted infrared patio heater with low-glare heat for domestic and commercial use.

The Herschel Miami Black 2000W Infrared Patio Heater is a compact but high-performance heater from the Performance range, designed for buyers who want strong radiant heat, flexible mounting options and a discreet black finish. It is particularly well suited to patios, terraces, hospitality spaces and covered outdoor areas where a smaller heater body is preferred without sacrificing performance.

Using a specially designed low-glare infrared heating lamp, the Miami Black delivers fast, focused warmth directly to people and surfaces. That makes it far more effective outdoors than systems that waste energy heating the surrounding air.

Flexible Mounting Options

The Miami Black is one of the most versatile heaters in the range, thanks to its compact size and flexible installation options.

• Wall-mounted for permanent outdoor heating
• Ceiling-mounted for overhead heat projection
• Suitable for mounting under parasols with an optional clamp bracket
• Compatible with a separate stand if a temporary freestanding setup is preferred

Wall mounting brackets are included, while a parasol clamp bracket and stand are available separately.

For help planning the best setup, see our Outdoor Heater Size & Coverage Guide.

Compact Heater, Strong Forward Heat

The Miami Black is designed to deliver impressive performance from a relatively small heater body, making it ideal for applications where larger heaters may feel visually heavy or impractical.

• 2000W infrared heating output
• Compact design with strong forward projection
• Special low-glare lamp with pleasant orange glow
• Ideal for localised comfort in outdoor and semi-covered spaces

Mirror aluminium reflector plates help project up to 98% of the infrared heat forward, improving efficiency and helping the Miami outperform many similar compact heaters.

Low-Glare Comfort for Patios & Hospitality

The Miami’s low-glare lamp provides a softer orange light than many traditional patio heaters, making it much more comfortable in social spaces where visual comfort matters.

• Reduced glare compared with standard patio heaters
• Comfortable for diners, guests and outdoor seating areas
• Suitable for restaurants, pubs, cafés and hotel terraces

Built for Outdoor & Coastal Conditions

With an IP65 rating and durable aluminium construction, the Miami Black is designed for year-round outdoor use.

• IP65 weatherproof rating
• Suitable for exposed outdoor locations
• Can be exposed to rainfall
• Suitable for coastal use without rusting or discolouring

This makes it a strong option for patios, balconies, parasol installations and seaside locations.

Control Options

The Miami Black is simple to operate and can also be integrated into wider control setups where needed.

• Rear on/off switch on the heater
• Can be wired to other suitable control options
• Useful for larger commercial or managed installations

For project control strategies, see our Commercial Heating Thermostats Guide.

Best Uses for the Miami Black

• Parasol-mounted table and seating heating
• Restaurant and pub terraces
• Wall-mounted domestic patios
• Covered commercial outdoor areas
• Draughty indoor commercial spaces where direct radiant heat is useful

The black finish is especially useful in modern spaces where darker frames, pergolas, awnings or fittings call for a more discreet heater appearance.

Also Available in Other Finishes

The Miami heater is also available in White.

Award Recognition

Voted “Best all-rounder” in a major UK guide to patio heaters and also recognised as a best wall-mounted patio heater, reflecting its combination of compact design, flexible installation and strong real-world performance.

Performance Note

In exposed areas with airflow or wind, infrared spread may reduce by around 30–50%. In these situations, we recommend lowering mounting height where appropriate and increasing the number of heaters to maintain comfort.

FAQ's

Can the Miami Black be mounted under a parasol?

Yes. It can be fitted under a parasol using the optional clamp bracket, making it a useful choice for targeted heat over dining or seating areas.

Is the Miami Black better wall-mounted or parasol-mounted?

That depends on the layout. Wall mounting is usually better for a fixed installation, while parasol mounting is useful where you want heat directly over a table or central seating area.

Is this heater suitable for commercial use?

Yes. It is widely suited to pubs, cafés, restaurants and hospitality terraces where a compact but effective heater is needed.

Can the Miami Black be used indoors?

Yes. It can also work well in draughty commercial interiors or covered spaces where direct radiant heat is more effective than air-based heating.

How does it compare with bigger patio heaters?

The Miami is smaller and more versatile than many larger heaters, but its reflector design helps it deliver very strong forward heat for its size.

Do I need a stand for this model?

No. This version is designed primarily for wall, ceiling or parasol mounting, but a stand is available separately if you want a temporary freestanding setup.
