Devola – 2.4kW Weatherproof Wall Mounted Weatherproof Patio Heater – DVPH2400B

Here we have the DVPH2400B from Devola.

Coming in at just under £120 – this heater comes with absolutely everything you could hope for in an electric patio heater at a fraction of the price of the market leaders like Burda and Veito.

Heating Area

This 2400W heater isn’t shy when it comes to heating a large room or the outdoors. With a heat range of up to 25sqm you’re really looking at the top end of what 1 patio heater can do.

Bulb Life & Heating Type

We would expect these clear halogen bulbs to last at least 8,000 hours. For most users this means 2-5 years of usage before needing a replacement element.

Power Settings & Specifics

This heater has an adjustable power setting based on the temperature control setting chosen (5-45c)

As well as 4 different power settings, this heater has an adjustable output so you’re not stuck with the traditional “1 bulb out of 3 on” style of heating. This means more money stays in your pocket and you’re not wasting precious pennies when heating your space.

This heater is a fair bit heavier than the 2kW and 1.2kW coming in at 10kg – so do make sure your chosing mounting surface can handle the weight before purchasing.

Aesthetics

The 2.4kW Devola infrared heater measures in at 97cm x 16cm x 8cm. It’s 10 cm wider than the 2kW heater and 20cm wider than the 1.2kW version. For pennies more we’d recommend getting this heater if you need to heat a small to moderate size room or outdoor area.

We really like the design and feel of this heater.

Features & Extras

If you’re looking for a heater with a bunch of added features and extra functions, then the Devola range of patio heaters will not leave you yearning.

These heaters come with a built-in thermostat, remote control operation, child lock, PIR body sensor and they’re wi-fi enabled. If you install these heaters indoors then it also has an “open window” which automatically turns the heater off if a temperature change of more then 3c is detected.

Finally, this heater also comes with a 2-year guarantee – so if something does go wrong within the first few years of ownership you can rest assured that Devola will get it fixed.

Weatherproof Rating

Not only are these heaters suitable for indoor and outdoor operation, but they offer superior and true weatherproof operation when installed outdoors.

Solid rating 6 – complete protection from dust and touch.

Liquid rating 5 – this heater is protected from low powered water jets from all directions.

This rating makes it suitable for installation in any location. Whether in a commercial setting or residential.

Suitable For

We think this heater is great for both residential and commercial users due to its versatility and low cost.

Running Costs

With the average cost of electricity running in the region of 14.7p/kWh let’s calculate the hourly running cost for you.

Heater running costs:

Full Power (2400W) – 2.0kW x 1 hour = 2.0 kWh x 14.7p = 35.28p (per hour)
Half Power (1200W) – 1.2kW x 1 hour = 1.2 kWh x 14.7p = 17.64p (per hour)
Low Power (650W) – 0.65kW x 1 hour = 0.65 kWh x 14.7p = 9.56p (per hour)

Assuming we were to use this heater for 2 hours a night every night.

Full Power – Our monthly electric bill will be £21.17
Mid Power – Our monthly electric bill will be £10.58
Low Power – Our monthly electric bill will be £5.74

Of course the heater does automatically shut off when the optimum temperature has been reached and it has adjustable power output based on requirements rather than different power settings so the above figures are a rough example of what you should expect to pay.

PatioMate’s Thoughts

An absolute must purchase in the current climate. It’s cheaper than the market leading patio heaters and offers a plethora of features you’d expect to see on the £300+ heaters.

The Devola range is available in 3 different sizes, the 1200W, 2000W and 2400W – This is the top range of the three, the 1.2kW is £35 cheaper and 2kW is only £10 cheaper. So you might as well splash out on the top of the range model.

This heater is available from multiple retailers but for commercial users looking to make a bulk purchase you can get the best savings when buying directly from Devola – with a discount of 6% when you purchase of 6 or more heaters.
