Patio Electric Heater

Patio electric heaters are the modern way to extend outdoor living spaces. Contrary to the older natural gas and propane-powered patio heaters, which emit carbon monoxide, electric heaters don't require ventilation and are safe to use in closed spaces as long as they are not left unattended.

To determine the power (BTUs) needed to heat your space, calculate the cubic footage of the area and the degree of temperature rise you wish to achieve.

Power

Patio heaters can keep outdoor living spaces comfortable and warm even when the sun goes down and temperatures drop. Radiant heat is released from the heaters onto nearby surfaces and objects. They are available in gas, propane and electric models. The type of fuel and power source availability will determine the right choice for you. The propane and gas patio heaters rely on natural or liquid fuel, while electric garden patio heater patio heaters make use of electricity to generate heat. In general natural gas and propane patio heaters have higher BTU ratings than electric patio heaters.

Electric patio heaters are the most straightforward to install as they plug into the standard 120-volt outlets. They might not provide as much heat as propane or natural gas models however, and regular use of a patio heater powered by electricity can increase the cost of electricity. Propane patio heaters -- like our top pick overall one, the AZ Patio Heaters Propane Patio Heater -- use 20-pound liquid propane tanks that you must refill with propane from local gas stations or convenience stores. They have the advantage of being portable, meaning you can move them around to keep your area warm while the sun moves across the sky.

In addition to the traditional parasol or wall mounted versions of these units, there is now a range of completely freestanding electric heaters that are ideal for pubs. They attach to the struts of a parasol or can be secured to the main pole of the unit. However, this makes them susceptible to theft, so careful consideration needs to be taken as to the location of an item.

Bromic's newest range of freestanding electric heaters is a step above the rest in terms of style and function. They feature sleek designs and are available in a number of fashionable finishes that will fit any decor. They are quick heating and can be adjusted to one of two options that are 750W or 1500W, depending on your requirements. The digital LED fire display is also included to enhance the appearance of your outdoor space.

The BTU rating of a patio heater can be used to determine its heat output. The BTU rating is a measure of the amount of Btu it generates each hour. For instance, a 10,000 BTU patio heater could generate enough heat to warm an area of approximately 150 square feet. Anyone looking to warm larger areas should think about using multiple patio heaters or a combination of firepits and freestanding heaters, which can create zones that have different levels of warmth.

Heat Output

Patio electric heaters are a great method of providing warm and comfortable heating without chimneys or fuel. They plug into regular electrical outlets, which means they're a convenient and portable option for outdoor areas for seating or backyard nooks. The amount of the heat a patio heater can provide is measured in British Thermal Units (BTUs) and the higher the number of BTU's, the higher the heating capacity. Electric patio heaters are capable of delivering up to 46,000 Btu per hour.

The size of your patio and the temperature you'd like to achieve will determine the amount of BTU's you require. A best practice is to determine the square footage of your space and then multiply it by the desired temperature increase. Then, divide that number by 1000 to convert it into watts and find out the amount of energy your heater consumes per hour. You can estimate the price of your patio heater using the wattage rate found in your owner's guide or on your utility bill.

Gas patio heaters use natural gas, liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), propane or butane to create an electric flame that heats a perforated metal screen, which emits the warmth into your outdoor living area. A reflector over the burner is able to direct heat downwards to maximize efficiency and enhance its effectiveness in windy weather conditions.

Gas patio heaters offer similar power of heating to electric pyramid patio heater models, however they require a greater initial investment due to the fact that they have to be connected to propane or natural gas line. They're best for spaces with a lot of ventilation that can be turned off and on as needed, or schedule using the use of a timer.

Certain gas patio heaters come with an electronic ignition system built-in some, while others require you to manually light them using the torch or grill lighter. Always follow the manufacturer's instructions to light them safely and ensure that the natural or propane gas is turned off before attempting to start the burner. They can be ceiling or wall-mounted and come with a variety of control options, including dimmers and timers that turn on and off at predetermined intervals to maintain a specified temperature.

Design

A good patio heater can make a big difference in your outdoor space. If you're looking to extend your evenings with friends or simply enjoy the sunset with a glass of wine A patio electric heater will keep your outdoor space warm and inviting long after the sun has set.

A tabletop model could suffice for temporary use however a wall-mounted or freestanding model is generally better suited to an ongoing installation. This will help ensure the heater is properly placed to ensure maximum heat coverage. The height at which you install the patio heater will also play an important role in how much heat it can generate. Certain models come with tilting capabilities that let you adjust the direction of the heat.

If you want to bring a modern touch to your outdoor space, an outdoor heater with halogen or an infrared model is the way to go. Infrared lights emit a relaxing blue light that's comparable to sunlight. Some models also come with an inbuilt speaker that plays music at the press of the button.

Gas patio heaters are available to those who prefer heating their outdoor spaces using the traditional flame method. These appliances use propane, LPG or natural gas to heat the air. They are usually fueled by an insignificant propane tank that must be refilled frequently.

Installation

A patio electric heater is a fantastic way to enjoy outdoor dining or entertaining even after the sun goes down. They are simple to operate, affordable and easy to use. They provide powerful radiant heat, which allows you and your guests to stay comfortable, especially during the cool winter evenings. To ensure safety and longevity they must be correctly installed. Before you install any type of professional installation, it's essential to follow the manufacturer's guidelines and talk to an electrician or plumber if you are using a gas-powered model.

When choosing an electric patio heater, you should first determine the size of the area you would like to heat. Most often, a heater with a higher BTU (British Thermodynamic Unit) rating is more powerful and can provide more coverage. A higher BTU rating will require more power.

Another thing to consider is whether you want to mount it on the ceiling or wall your electric patio heater. Both options offer their advantages and disadvantages. The wall-mounted units can be placed in a variety of locations and are incredibly compact. They can be difficult to reach, and their nozzles have to be cleaned frequently.

You can also choose a heater for your patio that is powered by propane gas or natural gas. Although they're not as portable as their electric counterparts, these models provide a decent amount of warmth and are easily switched on or off by remote or by a built-in timer. However, because they rely on combustion for their operation gas-powered units aren't as safe as their electric equivalents and require regular maintenance.

If you prefer traditional methods of patio heating, wood-burning units such as fire pits made of metal, chimineas or brick fireplaces with built-in bricks are very attractive and can add a rustic feel to your outdoor space. These types of units are difficult to maintain since they require regular cleaning of ash and debris. They also generate sparks that could be dangerous if not properly maintained.
