Herschel Florida 2000W Freestanding Infrared Patio Heater

Compact freestanding infrared patio heater designed for close-range warmth in domestic and commercial outdoor spaces.

The Herschel Florida 2000W Freestanding Patio Heater is a stylish and practical outdoor heating solution, ideal for creating comfortable, localised warmth in smaller seating areas. With its contemporary design and durable construction, it suits both home patios and commercial hospitality environments.

Using a middlewave carbon fibre infrared lamp, the Florida provides immediate, gentle radiant heat, making it perfect for use around tables, seating areas and sheltered outdoor spaces where comfort matters more than heating a huge open area.

Designed for Close-Range Comfort

The Florida is designed to provide warmth for people seated nearby, rather than heating large open spaces.

• Ideal for tables and small seating areas
• Perfect for patios, balconies and terraces
• Effective for alfresco dining setups
• Suitable for both domestic and commercial use

For planning larger spaces, see our Outdoor Heater Size & Coverage Guide.

Freestanding & Flexible Design

The freestanding format makes the Florida easy to position exactly where heat is needed.

• Portable and easy to reposition
• Fits through most patio table parasol holes (40mm pole)
• Can be bolted to the floor for added stability
• Simple plug-and-play setup

This makes it particularly useful for restaurants, cafés and garden dining areas. For broader hospitality layouts, read our Hospitality Heating Guide.

Comfortable Infrared Heating

The Florida uses a long-life middlewave infrared lamp to produce a soft, warm orange glow without the harsh glare often associated with standard halogen heaters.

• Instant heat with no long warm-up delay
• Gentle, comfortable warmth
• Reduced glare compared with many patio heaters
• Ideal for relaxed social environments
