In 2006, like many inventions, this product was the result of an incident…read more and reasoned argument rather than a "Eureka" moment for Scottish Entrepreneur Eddie Middleton who designed his first Outdoor Infra-red Heater to replace uneconomical and dangerous gas heaters outside pubs and restaurants. After 2 years of blood, sweat, tears and pretty much all of his money the product was ready to launch in the UK. The real excitement in his invention began in 2009 with his riveting BBC Television Show "Dragon's Den" appearance. On Series 7, Eddie demonstrated his range of far-infra-red, remote controlled, Eco-friendly patio heaters rapidly attracting Global interest. He was offered a £255,000 investment (a record offer for the TV show), but Eddie rejected the offer from the Telecoms Giant Peter Jones and Recruitment Magnate James Caan. Electric Carbon Fibre Far-Infrared heaters produce radiant heat like the sun, warming people and not the air in between; think why does the sun heat us, but not outer space between us? Infra-red was called the "Light of Life" by the Greek Gods and Zeus was the god of heat and light. Without it Earth would cease to exist. These special carbon elements make this form of heating a very efficient and useful form of energy available to us at a fraction of the cost of bottled gas. These heaters are ideal for cold draughty areas both inside and out.
