    The 2.4kW Athena Wi-Fi Remote Controllable Infrared Bar Heater with Motion Sensor is a fantastic way to get powerful near infrared heat into your home, business or garden.

    Using 2.4kW of power means this heater will reach surface temperatures of between 200-300°C while easily heating a space of 33-38m². Unlike other heaters with similar power levels, this model is quite sleek, only measuring 870mm by 160mm. It can be mounted on the wall out of reach, and will only jut out by 80mm.

    Compatible with Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa

    All that power is easy to control, with this heater coming with multiple methods to manage it. You can pair it with your mobile phone, use a smart home assistant, or use the included remote control. Choose between multiple heating levels, timers and adjustable goal temperatures to create the exact feel you want. It even features a motion sensor for extra peace of mind. That sensor has a 3m range, and it will ensure that if no movement is detected for 2 minutes, the heater will switch off. This makes them much safer and also helps reduce your bills.

    Watch Our Athena Video Guides Here

    Choose between 4 distinct power levels, 25%, 50%, 75% and 100%.  This lets you further customise the feel of your heat, as well as manage how much power you're using effectively, giving you more control over your bills. You're not stuck using 2400W if you don't need it.

    This unit is protected with an IP65 rating, so you can easily use it in a range of outdoor locations with minimal shelter required.

    Please note that you should hardwire this bar heater to your electrical supply, as prolonged use in a standard 13A socket may overload your plug, but can be used with a 2P+E plug and socket minimum 20amp fuse.

    What IR Can Do For You

    There are absolutely loads of amazing benefits to using infrared heat that traditional convection heaters can’t hope to match.

    For example, while all electrical heaters are 100% efficient, IR heaters use a more direct, radiant heat that’s amazing at making you feel comfortable quickly. That means you won’t have to keep the heater running for as long, and it’s why many find that IR heat can help reduce their bills.

    Using less energy also makes infrared a lot greener compared to other heaters. They don’t produce any greenhouse gases on site, and can be combined with domestic solar panel arrays for a carbon neutral heating method.

    IR heaters use of infrared waves (instead of heating air in a cycle) also means they spread a lot less mould, damp and dust around your room, which makes them an exceptionally good choice for people with breathing difficulties. Infrared heat also feels drier and more pleasant, like stepping outside on a sunny day.

    Smartphone Control…

    By pairing your heater to your Wi-Fi through the Smart Life app, you unlock a huge range of control methods right in the palm of your hand. You can set a 7-day timer, an hourly timer, create multiple heating zones and even give your family access to manage things themselves. All of this can be done from anywhere in the world, as long as you have a Wi-Fi connection.

    This app is compatible with iOS and Android devices, and once paired you can also control your heating through Google Home or Amazon Alexa devices.

    Remote Controls

    If you don’t have your mobile to hand, you can still manage your heating through the included remote control. This gives you access to all the same features as the mobile app, but you do have to be closer to the heater itself.

    It also comes with a child lock, so if your little ones decide to play with it they won’t mess up your heating.

    Motion Sensor

    For even more ways to automate your heating, the heater features a motion sensor. If this sensor doesn’t detect anyone within 3m in the room after 2 minutes it will shut the heater down. This is a simple way to get complete peace of mind, there’s absolutely zero risk your heating will be running when you don’t want it to be.

    Whatever settings you choose, and however you control your heater, you can always see what it’s doing thanks to the integrated LED display.

    Powerful Heat

    Most of our heaters make use of far infrared heat, but Athena uses near instead. The crucial difference between these two terms is the fact that near infrared is closer to the red end of the electromagnetic spectrum, creating shorter, more powerful wavelengths.

    This is still safe to be around, but it creates a more intense form of heat, one that’s perfect for outdoor use. You’ll feel comfortably warm even when the weather around you is bad.

    Product Protection

    Your Athena Bar Heater is fully protected with a manufacturer 2-year warranty against accidents and incidents. You also won’t have to pay for this. You also won't have to pay to upgrade your warranty to 5 years too.

    In the event that you are unhappy with your order, you can send it back to us within 14-days to return or to exchange for something better suited to your needs.

    • Good product, minor issue 4

      Posted by Chloe Smith on 15th Apr 2026

      I bought this for the pergola. It is a powerful heater. The heat is definitely stronger than the halogen units. I find the wifi connectivity a bit fiddly to set up though. It took me a few attempts to get it connected to the router. Once connected, it is fine. I spoke to Dee on the phone when I was struggling and he was helpful, though I did have to wait on hold for a bit. The heater itself is excellent quality. It looks great and feels sturdy. The remote is responsive. I love that we can use it for voice commands now. It makes the garden much more usable. Even if the wifi setup was annoying, the end result is worth it. I would buy it again. Just be prepared to spend some time on the app setup. It is not the most intuitive thing ever made, but it works fine once you get there. Overall, I am pleased with the purchase.

    • Perfect upgrade 5

      Posted by Anonymous on 14th Apr 2026

      We needed an upgrade for our garden heater, and this was the perfect choice. The Athena bar heater is fantastic. The heating output is powerful and consistent. It is so much better than the old halogen ones. It does not have that blinding, harsh light, just clean, deep heat. The black finish looks modern and sleek on the wall. I ordered it online and it arrived fast. I had a quick question and spoke to Dee on the phone, who was very helpful. The installation was easy. I set up the Wi-Fi and connected it to our smart home system. It works brilliantly. I love the voice control features. It makes life so much easier. The motion sensor is a great addition, too. It is reliable and gives us confidence that the heater is not running when it is not needed. The build quality is superb. It feels heavy and well-made, not cheap or flimsy. This has completely transformed our patio into a year-round space. We are outside all the time now, even on cold nights. It has been a fantastic investment. I am very impressed by the entire experience. It is not often that you find a product that is exactly as described and works this well. I would highly recommend this heater to anyone. It is powerful, efficient, and smart. The price is well justified by the quality of the product and the level of service I received. It has been a smooth and professional process from start to finish. I am a very happy customer and will definitely be coming back to this company for any future needs. Everything about this purchase has been fantastic. It is rare to be this satisfied. This is a very solid and well-made heater. It is exactly what we were looking for. I could not be happier. It is a high-quality product that has added real value to our home and improved our outdoor living experience. If you are debating buying this, do not hesitate. It is a great product. I have no complaints at all. Everything has been perfect. This is a very solid and well-made heater. I am really pleased with the purchase. It is a fantastic heater and a very professional company to deal with. I am glad I chose this.

    • Great heater, minor hassle 4

      Posted by Claire Jenkins on 11th Apr 2026

      Fantastic piece of equipment, but the setup was not entirely without its headaches. I purchased it for our patio because we wanted to use the space more in the autumn. I ordered online and the delivery was fast. No issues there. The product itself is beautiful. It is much more discreet than the halogen heaters we have used before, and the heat output is superior. It is a deep, warm heat that feels really comfortable. The remote control is handy, and the build quality feels very robust. However, the initial Wi-Fi setup was a bit of a nightmare for me. I am not the most tech-savvy person, and the app instructions could be clearer. I ended up calling the support line and spoke to Dee. He was very patient and helpful, and we eventually got it sorted after some trial and error. Once the connection was established, it has been rock solid. I love being able to control it with my voice via Alexa. It is a very cool feature to show off to friends. The motion sensor works well, although sometimes it is a little too sensitive, so we have had to adjust the placement slightly to avoid it picking up movement from the trees nearby. It has completely changed our home usage. We are out on the patio every single weekend now. It makes a massive difference having that extra space available to us. I do think the price is justified given the performance and the smart features. It is a step up from everything else we have used. The level of service I received when I eventually got through was good. Dee was great, but the wait time was a little longer than I would have liked. Aside from the initial setup frustrations, I have no complaints. The heater does what it claims to do, and it does it well. It is a solid, premium product. If you have the patience to get the app connected, you will be rewarded with a really excellent outdoor heating solution. I am happy with the purchase overall and it has certainly improved our quality of life at home by giving us our garden back. Just be prepared for a slightly fiddly start. It is a high-quality unit and I am glad I made the choice.
