Hercules Patio Heater By Chill Chaser

The latest developement in electric patio heaters from Chillchaser UK. These attractive and unigue electric patio heaters are the latest design from Eddie Middleton who famously pitched to the Dragons on BBC's Dragons Den Programme. The Hercules is hoping to follow the success of the Mercury, Neptune and Zeus Patio heaters which were sold worldwide to restaurants, bars, hotels and many more patio terrace applications.

The release date is expected March 2012 with a RRP of £699.00 GBP / $1100.00 USD with delivery costes varying on location. The Hercules patio heater is now manufactured in Scotland, UK instead of the old factory in Shunde, Guangdong Province China which last year was hit by a massive storm which smashed through the factory causing $1000's damage to the Zeus, Neptune and Mercury Patio heaters which were ready for shipment. Stock had been tight for all of these products which were retailing in the UK at around £399 and £329 respectively and suppliers could only buy small lots due to the supply issue. Since production has moved to Scotland the manufacturing processes has speeded up and the quality of the product has been improved with thicker gauge metal but the price has risen on all the products across the range. With the new Hercules electric patio heater expected to be around $1100 USD it is expected to be a more commercially orientated product with end users such as hotels, restaurant and clubs instead of home owners but with it being such a attractive, desirable product it is assured to be a great success worldwide.
