The Hercules Patio heater new for 2012 from Chillchaser
The latest developement in electric patio heaters from Chillchaser UK. These attractive and unigue electric patio heaters are the latest design from Eddie Middleton who famously pitched to the Dragons on BBC's Dragons Den Programme. The Hercules is hoping to follow the success of the Mercury, Neptune and Zeus Patio heaters which were sold worldwide to restaurants, bars, hotels and many more patio terrace applications.
The release date is expected March 2012 with a RRP of £699.00 GBP / $1100.00 USD with delivery costes 
varying on location. The Hercules patio heater is now manufactured in Scotland, UK instead of the old factory in Shunde, Guangdong Province China which last year was hit by a massive storm which smashed through the factory causing $1000's damage to the Zeus, Neptune and Mercury Patio heaters which were ready for shipment. Stock had been tight for all of these products which were retailing in the UK at around £399 and £329 respectively and suppliers could only buy small lots due to the supply issue. Since production has moved to Scotland the manufacturing processes has speeded up and the quality of the product has been improved with thicker gauge metal but the price has risen on all the products across the range. With the new Hercules electric patio heater expected to be around $1100 USD it is expected to be a more commercially orientated product with end users such as hotels, restaurant and clubs instead of home owners but with it being such a attractive, desirable product it is assured to be a great success worldwide.

Remote control - For an easy life!

These units have patented weather proof fittings that have enabled the award of an IPX5 rating, which means that it is produced to be left outside and will not be affected by weather conditions, specifically water ingress. The heating tubes are installed in such a manner that they can take direct exposure to water, beer or even flammable liquids like whisky or Vodka! Recommended operating temperatures have been tested from -20°C in Moscow to +25°C, although our heaters will automatically cut off at 25degC to save wasting energy.
Effective Heating Area – Head to Toe People heater NOT the Air!
The effective heating area of one unit is approximately 24m (5m radius from the unit at a heating angle of 110 degrees); the intensity of the heat is obviously greater the closer you are to the heat source / unit. Looks spectacular at night with that “bonfire red glow” without the smoke and pollution!
EasyFit™ Base – Simple 1-Nut assembly to a one piece base!
The Heavy weight base of 15Kg is easy to assemble with a simple one nut & washer method. This base is designed to self-right even at 25° and withstand heavy winds or the odd drunk who may knock against it!
Safety Features– Easy to insure for public Liability Insurance!
Safety tip-over switch built in to the unit, which cuts all power if the unit is knocked accidentally. No naked flames that can ignite chemicals or flammable liquid such as whisky. NB: - It won’t light cigarettes! Chillchaser Heaters have a corrosion resistant Protective Zinconium grille for safety, which whilst it does get warm in operation, will not scald/burn on contact, due to the way in which the carbon fibre tubes produce their effective heat output.
