Many people find dining al fresco a pleasurable experience. Therefore, having outdoor seating options in cafes and restaurants makes the venue more appealing. However, providing summer comfort in outdoor spaces, a key customer preference, is often difficult. Furthermore, businesses that don’t seek professional heater support not only fail to provide adequate comfort but also increase their energy costs by up to 40 percent.

So, what needs to be done to comfortably and economically heat outdoor spaces, a must-have for cafes and restaurants? Here are the details…

With the arrival of spring, the weather has begun to warm, but the cool evening air continues to leave us feeling chilly. Cafes and restaurants aiming to provide comfort to their customers in their outdoor areas are finding a solution to the chilly evening air with outdoor heaters. However, a poorly selected heater cannot provide comfort. Furthermore, heaters running for hours in the evening also increase businesses’ energy consumption.

Çukurova Heating Marketing Manager Osman Ünlü shared what needs to be done to comfortably and economically heat the outdoor areas of cafes and restaurants:

Expert support should be sought

We recommend that cafe and restaurant operators first seek expert support to ensure efficiency and comfort in outdoor heating. At Çukurova Isı, we offer our customers turnkey solutions, from surveying and planning to installation and commissioning. This is because this requires significant engineering effort. Without correctly determining the heater’s location, capacity, and features, it’s impossible to achieve comfort and cost savings. Let’s not forget that comfort is as important a selection criterion as menu and service quality.

40 percent more economical heating is possible

At Çukurova Isı, we reduce energy costs by heating outdoor areas of cafes and restaurants 40 percent more economically with our Goldsun series radiant and electric heaters. This means heating costs are no longer a burden to businesses. Furthermore, the system pays for itself in as little as one to three years.

We easily provide the desired comfort conditions in cafes and restaurants with the 3-stage combustion system of our Goldsun Elite ceramic plate radiant heaters, which have an aesthetic and useful design.

Our Goldsun Elite series ceramic plate radiant heaters, whose outer casing is resistant to temperatures of 600 degrees and whose grill and heat shield on the front surface are developed to withstand temperatures of 1000 degrees, operate safely in open areas for many years.

Prevents heat loss

The reflector, not found in many radiant heaters on the market, directs the energy emitted from the Goldsun Elite toward the occupants in the space, rather than the air, preventing heat loss. Transparent ceramic glass placed in front of the ceramic plates blocks 100% of oncoming wind currents.

Works smoothly under rain

“Our Goldsun Supra Plus and Goldsun Aqua series electric heaters, manufactured to IP55 water and dust protection standards, operate flawlessly for many years outdoors, even in the rain. The high-intensity halogen bulb in our Goldsun electric heaters converts 99 percent of the electrical energy consumed into heat, providing 40 percent more efficient heating than standard resistance electric heaters.”
