Thermogroup | Ash Mid-Wave Outdoor Heater 1200W 240V Lead and Plug | IP55 Wall Mounted 750mm
The Thermogroup AO1200RB is a wall mounted mid-wave outdoor heater rated 1200W at 240V, with three switchable output settings of 400W, 800W and 1200W. The AO1200RB is IP55 rated, heats areas up to 10 square metres, and connects through a lead and plug. It belongs to the Thermogroup Ash range, measuring 750mm long and 130mm high at a maximum depth of 190mm from the wall.
Balconies and small courtyards rarely accommodate a heater standing on the floor, and a longer wall unit dominates a compact space visually. Apartment and townhouse occupants also encounter fixed wiring they are not permitted to alter. A 750mm body is the shortest in the Ash range, positioning above a doorway or between windows where a longer unit cannot. Wall mounting on a lead and plug keeps the connection reversible.
For a sparky this represents the simplest outdoor heating installation available: mount the bracket, and the only electrical work is a weatherproof outlet within reach of the lead. Three output settings let the customer operate 400W on a mild evening rather than paying for 1200W nobody requires. A remote and countdown timer handle operation from the table. Thermogroup applies a two year warranty to domestic and commercial installations.
Features
- 1200W mid-wave output — the infrared element heats people and surfaces directly rather than warming the surrounding air first.
- Three output settings — 400W, 800W and 1200W are selectable, so the heater matches conditions instead of running flat out.
- 750mm body — the AO1200RB is the shortest unit in the Ash range, suiting compact walls and narrow spans.
- Rated to 10 square metres — Thermogroup rates coverage at up to 10 square metres, which drops in wind or fully open areas.
- IP55 rated — protected against dust ingress and low pressure water jets from any direction, suiting covered outdoor positions.
- Wall mounted format — 130mm high, projecting a maximum of 190mm from the wall once mounted.
- Lead and plug connection — runs from a 240V socket outlet, so no hardwiring or switchboard work is involved.
- Remote control included — the remote adjusts output and the countdown timer without reaching the unit.
- Countdown timer — shuts the heater down automatically after the selected run time, so it does not stay on all night.
- Temperature and wattage control — Thermogroup lists both temperature and wattage control among the unit's functions.
- Two year warranty — Thermogroup covers domestic and commercial use for two years from the invoice date.
- Smallest output in the range — at 1200W and 10 square metres, the AO1200RB suits a compact area rather than a full courtyard.
Where to use
- Balconies and apartment terraces — the AO1200RB suits narrow outdoor spaces where a longer heater will not fit the wall.
- Covered patios and pergolas — small alfresco areas used through the cooler months.
- Rental and strata properties — a plug connection avoids altering fixed wiring the occupant does not control.
- Courtyards and small decks — compact residential areas around a single table setting.
- Outdoor seating nooks — a bench or two-seater position where 1200W covers the occupied area.
- Poolside shelters — covered structures where an IP55 rating handles splashing and washdown overspray.
- Entry porches and landings — sheltered spots where a shorter body clears doorways and window reveals.
- Retrofit outdoor heating — the AO1200RB adds heat to a finished area where a weatherproof outlet already exists.
The AO1200RB is not rated for unsheltered positions, since IP55 covers dust and splashing water rather than driving rain. A weatherproof socket outlet within reach of the lead is required, and installing that outlet is work for a licensed electrician. At 1200W over 10 square metres this is the smallest output in the range, so a larger or exposed area needs more output or a second unit.
