The HEATSTRIP® Intense Electric Infrared Patio Heater with Remote & App Control is a high-output outdoor electric radiant heater designed for patios, courtyards, alfresco areas, high ceilings, and other hard-to-heat indoor or outdoor spaces.
Featuring a carbon filament infrared heating element, the Intense delivers fast, targeted radiant heat directly to people and surfaces. Unlike the HEATSTRIP Classic range, the Intense is designed for higher-temperature applications and can be used in both undercover and permanently exposed outdoor installations when installed according to the manufacturer's requirements.
Available in 2200W and 3200W models, this white HEATSTRIP outdoor heater combines high-performance infrared heating with remote, app, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and compatible smart-home control.

Smart Control & Remote Functions
The HEATSTRIP Intense White can be controlled directly from the handheld remote or through the compatible TuyaSmart app.
The remote provides:
- Three heat levels — L1, L2, and L3
- Adjustable countdown timer of up to 24 hours
- Heater on/off control
- Heat-level adjustment without requiring the mobile app
The mobile app connects through Wi-Fi, while the product also supports Bluetooth connectivity and compatible Google and Amazon smart-home platforms.
The handheld remote requires line-of-sight to the heater. The manufacturer states that it can operate at distances greater than 8m when used in a straight line, with range decreasing when used at an angle.
The remote itself is not weather-rated and should be kept away from wet locations.
Which HEATSTRIP Intense White Model Should I Choose?
Choose the X-THB2200WA (2200W) for smaller targeted heating zones. Its manufacturer-listed heating area is approximately 54–97ft², depending on the installation environment and exposure.
Choose the X-THB3200WA (3200W) when a larger radiant footprint is required. Its manufacturer-listed heating area is approximately 86–140ft².
Actual heating performance depends on mounting height, wind exposure, enclosure, heater positioning, and the location of people within the radiant footprint.
For outdoor spaces, positioning the heater directly above the occupied area generally provides the most effective spot heating.
Where Is the HEATSTRIP Intense Best Used?
The HEATSTRIP Intense is designed for higher-output heating applications where a lower-intensity patio heater may not provide enough targeted warmth.
Typical applications include:
- Exposed and semi-exposed patios
- Courtyards and outdoor entertaining areas
- Alfresco dining spaces
- Covered outdoor kitchens
- Balconies and verandahs
- High-ceiling areas
- Commercial outdoor dining areas
- Difficult-to-heat indoor spaces
- Targeted heating above tables, seating areas, or workstations
Its higher-temperature carbon filament element makes the Intense particularly well suited to outdoor locations and spaces where stronger direct radiant heat is required.
Positioning & Mounting Height
For effective spot heating, the manufacturer recommends ceiling mounting the heater directly above the area to be heated whenever possible.
Recommended mounting height: 2.3–2.5m / approximately 7ft 6½in–8ft 2½in.
Maximum mounting height:
- Outdoor: 2.8m / approximately 9ft 2¼in
- Indoor: 3.0m / approximately 9ft 10in
The manufacturer's general mounting guidance lists a minimum mounting height of 2.1m. The current US/Canada manual also specifies jurisdiction-specific minimum installation heights, including 6ft in the United States and 8ft in Canada. Always follow the current installation manual and applicable local requirements.
For installations above the ideal range, optional extension poles or suspended mounting can be used to lower the heater closer to the recommended height.
Mounting Options
The HEATSTRIP Intense White includes a pair of ZBRAK-132W standard adjustable mounting brackets.
The brackets support:
- Direct ceiling mounting
- Angled wall mounting
- Beam mounting
- Chain or wire suspension
- Parallel, 22.5°, and 45° mounting positions
Additional optional configurations include flush mounting and extension-pole installation.
Chain/wire is not included.
The heating surface must be positioned according to the manufacturer's installation instructions and must not be directed toward the ceiling.
What's Included
- HEATSTRIP Intense White heater in the selected 2200W or 3200W model
- Handheld remote control
- Pair of ZBRAK-132W white adjustable mounting brackets
- Access to compatible app control
- Manufacturer installation and operating documentation
Electrical installation, optional flush-mount enclosures, extension poles, and suspension chain/wire are not included.
Installation & Safety
The X-THB2200WA and X-THB3200WA are 240V models with gang-box connections.
Fixed electrical wiring must be installed by a licensed electrician in accordance with the current HEATSTRIP installation instructions and applicable electrical regulations.
The heater is IPX5-rated and the manufacturer specifies that the Intense White can be permanently mounted outdoors without requiring full protection from the elements. Required mounting clearances and installation instructions must still be followed.
