Thermogroup | Ash Mid-Wave Outdoor Heater 2000W 240V Lead and Plug | IP55 Wall Mounted
The Thermogroup AO2000RB is a wall mounted mid-wave outdoor heater rated 2000W at 240V, with three switchable output settings of 700W, 1400W and 2000W. The AO2000RB is IP55 rated, heats areas up to 20 square metres, and connects through a lead and plug rather than a hardwired supply. It belongs to the Thermogroup Ash range, measuring 945mm long and 130mm high at a maximum depth of 190mm from the wall.
A freestanding heater occupies floor space an alfresco setting cannot spare, yet a hardwired unit commits the customer to an electrician before any heat arrives. Renters and body corporate properties face the additional problem of fixed wiring they are not permitted to alter. Wall mounting on a lead and plug removes the heater from the floor while keeping the connection reversible. The 945mm horizontal body projects a maximum of 190mm from the wall.
For a sparky this is the straightforward end of outdoor heating: mount the bracket, and the only electrical work is a weatherproof outlet within reach of the lead. Three output settings let the customer run 700W on a milder evening rather than paying for 2000W nobody requires. A remote and countdown timer handle operation from the table. Thermogroup applies a two year warranty to domestic and commercial installations.
Features
- 2000W mid-wave output — the infrared element heats people and surfaces directly rather than warming the surrounding air first.
- Three output settings — 700W, 1400W and 2000W are selectable, so the heater matches conditions instead of running flat out.
- Rated to 20 square metres — Thermogroup rates coverage at up to 20 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 — the AO2000RB measures 945mm long and 130mm high, projecting a maximum of 190mm from the wall.
- 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.
- Silent in operation — no fan, so conversation and outdoor audio are not competing with heater noise.
- Two year warranty — Thermogroup covers domestic and commercial use for two years from the invoice date.
- Socket outlet required nearby — the lead and plug connection means the AO2000RB needs an outlet within reach of the mounting position.
Where to use
- Covered patios and alfresco areas — the AO2000RB mounts above a decking area or under a pergola without taking floor space.
- Balconies and terraces — compact outdoor areas where floor space is tight and a tower unit will not fit.
- Rental and strata properties — a plug connection avoids altering fixed wiring the occupant does not control.
- Residential outdoor seating — dining and lounge settings used through the cooler months.
- Poolside shelters — covered structures where an IP55 rating handles splashing and washdown overspray.
- Verandas and entertaining decks — permanent positioning without committing to a hardwired circuit.
- Small to medium outdoor areas — the AO2000RB covers up to 20 square metres, which suits a table setting rather than a full courtyard.
- Retrofit outdoor heating — adding heat to a finished area where a weatherproof outlet already exists.
The AO2000RB 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. Thermogroup designates this unit an outdoor heater, so confirm suitability with the manufacturer before specifying it for an enclosed indoor space.
