Simply Controlled / Eurofase Heating
The room doesn't
stop at the wall.
Build a more complete outdoor project. A dealer's field guide to selecting infrared heat, integrating control, and getting the right parts on the job before the ceiling closes.
For Canadian integrators, electricians and custom-home builders.
01 START WITH THE SPACE
Heat the places
people actually use.
Think beyond square footage. Define where the client will dine, gather, cook and relax. Mounting height, exposure and direction matter as much as area.

THE SMARTER BRIEF
One patio.
Different moments.
01
Full-area comfort
Covered patios with several occupied areas may call for a coordinated multi-heater layout.
02
Targeted comfort
Open patios often benefit from defining specific seating or activity zones first.
03
Prairie conditions
Wind and ceiling geometry change results. Request manufacturer-reviewed placement before making a comfort promise.
PROJECT PLANNING TOOL
Know the zone. Then specify.
Compare measured dimensions with a heater's published approximate per-unit footprint. This is not a recommended heater count or electrical circuit design.
Zone: 500 sq ft. EF60 approximate per-unit footprint: 11 × 11 ft. This area comparison does not prescribe a heater quantity.
02 CHOOSE THE HEATER
Two distinct families.
One considered design.
Choose the heater's form factor and mounting approach before narrowing the wattage. The EF Performance and LP Low-Profile families solve different architectural problems.

03 PLAN THE MOUNT
Beautiful space.
Very little equipment.
Mounting is an architectural decision, not an accessory afterthought. Recessed installations demand coordination before the ceiling closes; surface and suspended projects have their own clearances and structural requirements.
Explore recessed heatingFire-rated enclosure components are not, by themselves, certification of a completed ceiling assembly. Manufacturer, electrician and authority approval are required.
04 DESIGN THE CONTROL PATH
Comfort should work
with the rest of the home.
Specify the control experience as carefully as the heaters. Simple switching, manufacturer Wi-Fi and professionally designed multi-zone control each serve a different project.
01 / SIMPLEMANUAL
Switch. Set. Enjoy.
Simple on/off or compatible element switching, with an appropriately rated timer where useful.

06 THE PROJECT DESK
Before the ceiling
closes, talk to us.
Send a floor plan, marked-up sketch or site photos. We'll help review heater choices, mounting, controls and a complete preliminary bill of materials. You own the customer relationship, installation and programming.
Attach drawings or photos by email. We'll reply with a reviewed project direction and recommended next steps.

The details
that prevent rework.
Everything below supports informed project decisions; final placement, rated clearances, mounting and electrical design remain with the manufacturer and qualified installers.
Can infrared heaters improve comfort in Alberta's shoulder seasons?+
They can improve comfort in cooler outdoor conditions. Wind exposure, mounting height and heater aiming have a major effect on performance; a reviewed layout should precede coverage claims.
Can Eurofase heating be coordinated with RadioRA 3?+
Potentially, through an approved control architecture. A compatible Lutron interface commands the properly specified Eurofase control box; heaters must not be connected directly to conventional lighting dimmers. Exact compatibility requires review.
How many Wi-Fi controllers are needed?+
The required controller-to-heater mapping depends on the supplied models and approved configuration. We confirm the matching accessories and bundle inclusions during BOM review.
Which models can be recessed?+
Eligible EF models support manufacturer-approved recessed kits. LP is a different mounting family. Confirm the exact heater, frame, ceiling assembly and required enclosures before rough-in.
Does Simply Controlled install the system?+
No. We supply and support the installing dealer with product selection, documentation and coordinated BOM planning. Electrical installation and system programming remain with qualified project professionals.
What else belongs on the bill of materials?+
Check compatible mounting hardware, recess components where required, approved high-temperature whips, control boxes, switching/timers, wiring provisions, project freight and any related lighting or audio scope. View the Eurofase dealer hub ↗.
