Thermogroup | Cedar Mid-Wave Outdoor Heater 1200W 240V | IP55 Black
The Thermogroup CO1200RB is a freestanding mid-wave electric outdoor heater rated 1200W at 240V AC, with three switchable output settings of 400W, 800W and 1200W. The CO1200RB is IP55 rated and heats areas up to 15 square metres, running from a lead and plug connection. Thermogroup lists the Cedar as an indoor and outdoor heater, finished in black and standing 680mm tall.
Balconies and small courtyards go unused for half the year, and a gas bottle heater takes floor space that a two seater table cannot spare. Convection heating loses most of its output to moving air wherever a space is open on one side. The mid-wave infrared element heats people and surfaces directly, so warmth registers in seconds rather than once the air responds. An IP55 rating permits the CO1200RB to occupy a covered position exposed to dust and splashing water.
For a sparky the CO1200RB is a no-hardwiring sale. It operates from a standard 240V socket outlet through its lead and plug, so the only electrical work is a suitably located outlet. A 400W minimum setting keeps consumption sensible on a mild evening, which matters to customers watching a quarterly bill. The 680mm tower height and freestanding base keep the unit compact enough for a balcony corner or a caravan annexe. Thermogroup applies the 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.
- IP55 rated — protected against dust ingress and low pressure water jets from any direction, suiting covered outdoor positions.
- Remote control included — the CO1200RB remote adjusts output, thermostat setting and countdown timer without leaving the table.
- Countdown timer — shuts the heater down automatically after the selected run time, so it does not stay on all night.
- Tip-over switch — cuts power automatically if the unit is knocked over, which matters around tables and children.
- Compact tower design — 680mm tall on a 300mm square base, so the CO1200RB stands without brackets or fixings.
- Built-in carry handle — the heater lifts and relocates by hand between a balcony, a patio and a workshop.
- Lead and plug connection — runs from a 240V socket outlet with no hardwiring and no switchboard work.
- Silent in operation — no fan, so conversation and outdoor audio are not competing with heater noise.
- Rated to 15 square metres — Thermogroup rates coverage at up to 15 square metres, which drops in wind or fully open areas.
- Covered positions only — IP55 covers dust and splashing water, not driving rain, so the CO1200RB needs shelter overhead.
Where to use
- Apartment balconies — the CO1200RB suits a balcony where floor space is tight and a gas bottle is not practical to store.
- Small covered courtyards — townhouse and terrace courtyards under a roof line or shade sail through the cooler months.
- Alfresco dining nooks — a two or four seat table setting where 15 square metres of coverage is enough.
- Caravan annexes and camp setups — portable output wherever a 240V outlet is available and the annexe is enclosed overhead.
- Home offices and studios — targeted warmth at a desk in a converted garage or garden studio.
- Workshops and hobby benches — spot heating over a bench without paying to warm the whole shed.
- Rental and holiday properties — a plug-in unit that needs no installation and stores away between bookings.
- Cold indoor rooms — Thermogroup lists the Cedar for indoor use, so the CO1200RB also suits a poorly heated room.
The CO1200RB is not rated for unsheltered positions, since IP55 covers dust and splashing water rather than driving rain. It is a lead and plug appliance, not a hardwired fixture, so it does not suit an application where a fixed connection is specified. Coverage is rated to 15 square metres, so larger patios and fully open areas fall outside what this heater is built to warm.
