"We had a common problem in an uncommon place. Our Bungy site under the Auckland Harbour Bridge can get a little chilly. We thought we'd have difficulties sourcing an outdoor heating solution that worked for us"

Outdoor Heating for Restaurants, Bars & Hospitality Spaces

When temperatures drop, outdoor spaces often go unused — limiting revenue and reducing overall capacity during colder months.

Kelray Heaters solve this problem by using infrared radiant energy, which heats people and surfaces directly — not the surrounding air. Unlike traditional propane heaters that waste energy and struggle in breezy conditions, Kelray infrared heaters deliver reliable warmth exactly where it’s needed.

Trusted by cafés, bars, and restaurants across the globe, our heaters help businesses extend their service season, boost guest comfort, and maximise return on every square metre.

Electric vs Propane Outdoor Heaters

Traditionally, bars and restaurants have looked to propane-powered heating solutions, but they’re often inefficient, costly to run, and harmful to the environment. So much so, many cities are now moving to restrict or ban gas patio heaters altogether.

Kelray’s electric infrared heaters offer a smarter alternative — delivering powerful warmth directly to people and surfaces, rather than wasting energy heating the surrounding air. No gas bottles, no open flames, no dragging heat lamps from table to table — just clean, consistent comfort that performs even on breezy evenings.
