Infratech Comfort 39" CD-Series 4000 Watts Dual Element Heater 277V
The Infratech CD-4027 is a 39" 4,000-watt electric infrared heater with two quartz elements. It warms people, tables and floors directly instead of heating the air, so the warmth holds up on a breezy patio. Model number CD-4027.
It runs on 277 volts at 14 amps, and Infratech rates it to cover about 8' x 10' at a mounting height of 8' to 12'. Infratech lists heaters above 240 volts for commercial use only, so this one suits restaurants, hotels and other business installations.
Infratech's medium-wave quartz elements give off a soft, barely visible glow rather than the harsh glare of short-wave or halogen heaters. Because infrared warms solid objects instead of the air, a breeze does not carry the heat away, and there is no gas line, flame or fan.
With two elements, the CD-4027 can run at half or full heat on a duplex stack switch, so you can match the output to a mild evening or a cold one. Compare it with our other electric patio heaters, or browse all Infratech heaters and controls to plan a full system.
A licensed electrician must hardwire the heater; the junction box takes standard 1/2" conduit fittings. It comes with swivel brackets for wall or ceiling mounting, and it can also hang from a drop mount, sit on a pole mount or recess into a flat ceiling with a matching flush mount frame. On a wall, Infratech recommends angling it 30 to 60 degrees down, about 45 degrees being best.

How much area will it heat?
Infratech rates it to cover about 8' x 10' at a mounting height of 8' to 12'. Indoor or well-protected spaces usually do better than that, and very cold or windy conditions do worse.
What does it cost to run?
Multiply your utility's rate per kilowatt-hour by 4, the heater's wattage in kilowatts. That gives the cost for each hour at full power.
Can it go on a home patio?
Infratech lists heaters above 240 volts for commercial use only. For a home, look at the 240-volt or 208-volt versions.
Which control should I choose?
A duplex stack switch gives half or full power and is the simplest choice. Infratech's switches are rated to 277 volts. For zoning and dimming at a restaurant or hotel, use the Solid State Relay package, ordered for 277 volts. Choose the control before the wiring goes in.
Infratech's limited warranty covers manufacturer replacement parts for the original purchaser at the original installation site. It does not cover labor, and Infratech asks you to register the heater to activate the warranty. Using controls or accessories from other brands with Infratech heaters may void it.
