Infrared heating

We have had this conversation before, heat does not rise, air (and any other gas) when raised to a higher temperature will rise due to a change in its density.

Same thing,  but i posted as most would understand

See my earlier post

It is a fallacy about increasing fees btw, you pay for your EHU and you can do what you want with it (within reason - don't heat an empty awning) so just enjoy your trips to the full like being in a hotel or B&B.

I don't disagree with your statement that you pay for your EHU and if there are no restrictions ( such as the one re charging cars ) you are free to use it as you see fit.

However, I doubt sites calculate their costs assuming everyone will use 16 amps for the duration of their stay. I'm sure they will work on past figures for consumption. If consumption increases over time, because of an increase in awning heater use, costs would have to increase to cover it. As they have with the separate levy for charging electric vehicles.

You posted something that has very little relevance to radiated heat energy. On a cold day step out of a shaded spot into sunlight? notice the immediate difference? 

Air, due to its lack of density, is a poor absorber and therefore transmitter of heat compared to solid surfaces.

Be brave, David! Some of us have holidayed all year round "over here" for many years without ever laying hands on an awning heater!  

Awning heaters! mine is a called a Canopy heater. Does the business with or without the sides 

Indeed. I think all the continental travel has thinned the blood😁 (That’s a joke, please don’t pounce on me😉)

We love sitting outside as much as possible, we eat outside almost every meal (proper outside, not under an awning). Can drop a tad chilly, particularly if there’s a bit of a breeze. We keep a couple of quality thin but dense weave throws to cover legs, or wrap shoulders when outside, added bonus for me of keeping biting insect off as well.

Might not have been away overnight yet this year, but we still enjoy sitting out for a meal, watching birds and stars. I usually retire down to our garden swing with a book and a lantern post 8pm. We are in sunny Yorkshire though! (Glorious today☀️)😁

The only time that I can recall using heating in an awning has been, when we still used an awning, on Christmas Day and Boxing Day for 3 parts of an hour. Not so much to heat the awning but aimed directly at me whilst having a cigar and large Brandy (traditional ).
