Background
The colonial style residences within Cape Cod, have historical charm and nobility. Dating back to the 1800’s to homey colonial revival capes of the 20th century. Considering the location of Cape Cod, homes were built to withstand harsh New England weather. The homeowner requested a replacement for an insufficient heater he had purchased 3 years previously that was not distributing enough heat for the requested location.
Challenges
Cape Cod is wonderous within the fall season but can experience cold, damp, and windy conditions during New England autumn days. Adding outdoor comfort heat can be challenging given Fall and Winter seasons and the weather it provides. Given the steep mounting height of approximately 10ft, with exposed sides, the approach for this installment was evaluated for a complete outdoor fix. The customer also expressed concerns of high winds and damp conditions that could hinder the project and product selection. The heater also required full controllability when it was necessary.
Solaira, ICR Series H3 Heater
Solution
The Solaira design team recommended the IP55 Solaira ICR Series heater. The ICR Series heaters are approved for rain, snow, and wind exposure with a mounting bracket system. Alongside a ceiling mount installation, positioned above the seating area, and a control system to manage an on/off command authority.
