Rank #6 in Best Patio Heater 2026: 10 UK Models Ranked by What They Actually Heat
SOUTHEATIC 3000W Wall Mounted Infrared Patio Heater, 3 Heat Levels
Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The SOUTHEATIC is a 3kW infrared panel with three power levels — 1000W, 2000W and 3000W — a remote control, an IP65 rating and brackets for wall or ceiling mounting. It is the only electric heater in this ranking supplied with a 13-amp fused plug already fitted, so it needs no wiring work.
It carries the highest score here at 4.7 stars and the smallest sample in the top half of the table: 11 ratings, split 86 per cent at five stars and 14 per cent at three. Its listed dimensions also look wrong — 96.5cm deep on a heater that mounts flat — so check them against the product images. Everything here comes from the Amazon listing and the review on it, not from our own testing.
How those 11 ratings break down
An average hides its own shape. This is the spread behind the 4.7 stars.

What buyers actually say
Quoted from customer reviews on Amazon
Verified purchase“Easy to fit with a swivel bracket & 13amp fused plug already attached albeit the lead length was a bit short and could have been longer. Once operating the 3 heat settings are warm, hot & very hot and they are easy to change with a remote control that is supplied. So far very pleased with the heater”
