Harrogate's Specialist for Heated and Lit Awnings

Frequently asked questions
Can heat trigger automatically?
Yes — a temperature sensor can trigger the heater on when ambient drops below your threshold. Common on commercial Harrogate café installs where automatic trigger keeps outdoor seats warm for arriving customers.
Do you cover Ilkley?
Yes — Ilkley is 14 miles from Harrogate and installs on the same weekly run.
Can heaters be retrofitted to an existing awning?
In most cases yes — provided the front rail carries the load. Retrofit on a Harrogate install we already did is normally a half-day return visit.
Are they expensive to run?
Infrared heaters draw roughly 1.5-2.5kW per bar — running costs depend on tariff, but ordinary use runs pennies per hour rather than pounds.
Do infrared heaters work in North Yorkshire wind?
Yes — infrared heats objects and people directly rather than warming the surrounding air, so it isn't lost to wind. colder than West Yorkshire by 1-2°C on average; toughened solar-control glass repays itself in shoulder seasons, and heater bars remain effective under a retracted-cassette design.
