Heating
Infrared heater 2.2 kW
Rhino TQ4 (230 V)
Instant, silent infrared heat — the safe choice when the boiler goes down.
The Rhino TQ4 is a site-grade infrared heater: twin 1.1 kW ruby quartz lamps that warm people and surfaces directly, so you feel it within seconds rather than waiting for the room to heat up. No fan, no noise, no fumes. A tough HDPE body on wheels, thermostat (15–45 °C), timer and a tilt cut-out make it safe in care homes, offices and workshops alike. Plugs into any normal 13 A socket.

Common questions
Can I run several from one extension lead?
No — each heater draws nearly 10 A, so give each its own wall socket.
Will it heat the whole room?
Infrared heats what it's pointed at, not the air, so people in front of it feel warm straight away even in a draughty space. For warming a large enclosed room's air evenly, the 15 kW fan heater is better.
Is it safe around people?
Yes — the lamps are behind a guard, it switches off if tipped, and there are no fumes or flames. Keep it 1 m from curtains and fabric as you would any heater.
