E-TERRASSES launches a range of eco-friendly patio heaters

At a time of climate emergency, gas and infrared heating in cafés, hotels and restaurants (CHR) is now being singled out by many municipalities.

The example of Rennes, which took the step of banning gas and electric heaters last January (source), is now inspiring many cities. Paris, Angers and Grenoble could follow suit as early as 2021, while other cities admit to studying the project, in the face of a growing number of citizen petitions (source).

In the long term, these polluting and energy-hungry systems are likely to be banned in all French cities, as is already the case in many countries (in Switzerland, for example).

For elected officials and CHR professionals, the key challenge is to find the right compromise between the necessary protection of the environment and the preservation of economic activity.

In this context, E-Terrasses, the terrace optimization expert, is launching a range of outdoor pellet heaters specially designed for CHR.

This solution has a major advantage: it is 100% eco-friendly!

An eco-responsible innovation that benefits everyone
What if there were no longer any need to choose between saving energy, supporting local businesses and protecting the planet?

The new range of outdoor pellet heaters is a solution for the future that benefits everyone:

Elected officials address the concerns of citizens who want healthier and more virtuous cities. At the same time, they no longer need to ban terraces outright for CHR; they simply have to offer them this alternative solution.

CHR businesses can continue to offer their customers a terrace while making substantial savings: these heaters consume 6 times less than gas heaters! For example, a single gas heater costs around 1 647 ?/year compared with 279 ? with pellets, a consumption calculated for a gas heated parasol running 6 hours a day for 6 months of the year. The daily cost (6 hours) of a gas heater: 13? per hour compared with 1,86? for a pellet heater.

Moreover, it is much easier and less dangerous to store 15 kg bags of pellets than hard-to-handle gas cylinders. Changing the gas cylinders every 1,5 day for each heater is a nightmare for restaurateurs!

Customers enjoy attractive heated terraces with a shimmering flame, so they can smoke a cigarette, share a convivial moment with friends in the evening or in the middle of winter over a drink or a meal, and savor the sweetness of life... all while staying true to their values.

The environment is protected by fewer of the toxic emissions produced by gas and infrared heaters. Indeed, the pellets are 100% eco-friendly and 100% recyclable, as they come from woodworking: they are wood shavings reused for heating.

The icing on the cake: all the factories that manufacture the outdoor pellet heaters are located in Europe. This is a guarantee of quality, a boost to European economic dynamism, decent working conditions for the employees who make them, and less transport-related pollution.

One year of R&D to design this unprecedented system
The range of outdoor pellet heaters for CHR terraces is directly inspired by the eco-friendly heating methods used in private homes.

Christophe DEMAREST, the founder of E-Terrasses, confirms:

?We based our work on the eco-friendly pellet stove, which is governed by the RT 2012 standard for single-family homes. We then had to run numerous tests to design ?clean’ models that meet the expectations of CHR.?

E-Terrasses now aims to eventually replace all gas heated parasols and infrared heaters with pellet heaters.

E-Terrasses offers CHR several financing solutions, so that the replacement of their heaters is spread over 12 to 24 months, with payment by LOA (long-term leasing) or in 10 interest-free installments by credit card. The goal is to heat terraces for customer comfort while being eco-friendly and economical!
