Outdoor patio heaters provide instant and clean heat without the smoke, dust or odor associated with some other heating fuel sources. Plus they’re easier to operate and require less maintenance!
Be sure to place your outdoor heater on a level surface, and periodically inspect for gas leaks. Also keep a fire extinguisher nearby just in case an unexpected fire breaks out.
Propane
Outdoor patio heaters come in various styles, fuel sources and BTU outputs to fit any outdoor setting. Choose between portable propane models that are easy to move around; umbrella-style or wall-mounted models for dining or gathering areas; and fire pits which warm decks, patios and other hospitality spaces. Prices depend upon size, style and fuel type – American Propane can help you select one based on budget, space requirements and usage frequency.
With its sleek design and attractive reflector, this Hanover pyramid propane patio heater boasts 42,000 BTUs of heat to help warm dining or seating spaces. A popular choice among restaurant and cafe owners for outside eating areas, as well as homeowners looking to extend outdoor season. Equipped with wheels for mobility and tank tie downs for convenience use.
Gas-powered models are more flexible than liquid propane heaters as they use your existing natural or propane gas line as their source, eliminating the need for additional propane tanks to transport. Gas heaters are an ideal choice for commercial properties hosting frequent events, and can even be installed on rooftops and other hard-to-reach locations with electronic Piezo ignition and tip-over switches that shut the unit off if tilting becomes an issue – offering guests and workers protection at every event!
Electric models use halogen heating elements to produce radiant heat without creating flames, making them more environmentally-friendly than gas-powered models. Their sleek modern appearance fits well in most outdoor spaces while being easy to operate and require no professional installation – though you will likely require multiple units in order to effectively heat a larger area. They come in various sizes and finishes so you’re sure to find something ideal for both residential and commercial spaces.
Natural Gas
When the sun goes down and temperatures begin to drop in your outdoor patio area, natural gas patio heaters can keep you and your guests toasty warm and cozy. These powerful heaters attach directly to your natural gas line for long-term comfort compared to propane patio heaters or electric models that use power cords; furthermore they tend to heat more air instead of just surrounding surfaces which saves both money and maintenance over time. While more expensive upfront, natural gas patio heaters require significantly less upkeep.
When purchasing a natural gas outdoor patio heater, look for one with adjustable heat settings and durable stainless steel construction to ensure years of use. Many models feature remote controls for easier use from up to 100 feet away while some models include built-in thermocouple thermometers with anti-tilt safety features to make sure that your space remains safe.
Natural gas patio heaters differ from their propane counterparts in that they don’t need to be filled up regularly; rather than needing refills of propane fuel periodically, natural gas patio heaters are designed to heat an entire patio space quickly with only a few puffs of air. Their ability to disperse a high level of warmth is measured in British Thermal Units or BTUs; typically full-size natural gas patio heaters burn 40,000 BTUs under ideal conditions, warming an area up to 314 square feet in their entirety.
Many natural gas patio heaters come in both freestanding and mounted styles, with freestanding models being easier to move around your patio while wall or ceiling mounted heaters typically require professional installation to ensure it can be operated easily and is connected properly. Many models also include manual or automatic ignition switches to turn it on or off as necessary.
Bromic gas patio heaters differ from their propane-powered counterparts by emitting infrared waves to generate heat instead. This radiant heat travels through the air until it comes into contact with someone or something to provide instantaneous warmth – it is safer for both people and pets than other forms of heat, yet should still be used cautiously near combustible materials such as clothing or furniture that might ignite easily.
Electric
Electric outdoor patio heaters provide the ideal way to ensure guests remain warm and cozy during outdoor dining, drinking, or socializing in cooler weather. Unlike gas patio heaters which rely on natural or propane gas fuel for warmth production, our 240-volt outlets-powered heaters can safely be used indoors and areas without sufficient ventilation for gas patio heaters. They’re also an excellent solution when space constraints prevent proper gas heater use.
Utilizing infrared heat, these patio heaters use infrared radiation to warm objects and people within an area they’re installed, rather than directly heating the air itself. This produces a more uniform and powerful heat output compared to traditional patio heaters – particularly wind resistance! Electric patio heaters designed with both style and functionality in mind feature slim profiles that blend into various outdoor settings seamlessly.
Choose the model that is ideal for your space, size and style from our wide selection. Wall mount models as well as freestanding options are all available here, while most electric patio heaters include control panels with thermostatic temperature regulation and anti-tilt safety devices as well as wheels for easy mobility.
One of the most sought-after patio heaters for outdoor spaces is a propane heater. As an energy source, propane emits much lower levels of carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxide and hydrocarbon emissions than other fuel sources, making it one of the safest choices available to outdoor heating. A single tank can easily warm an expansive patio; our propane patio heaters come in multiple sizes from standing to table-top versions – you may even find portable models which work even during power outages!
Gas Ceiling Heaters
Outdoor patio heaters add warmth and ambience to restaurants, lounges and other commercial spaces with outdoor seating areas. At home they extend the use of patios, decks and gazebos year-round for dining and entertainment purposes. Infrared natural gas patio heaters make an excellent choice in enclosed spaces as they don’t need ventilation for proper functioning; their fast, ample heating can meet a range of different heating needs in different sizes as well.

Natural gas patio heaters, on the other hand, are more fixed in place since they connect to an ongoing natural gas line from your home or business to your outdoor living space. Though not as portable as propane heaters, natural gas patio heaters still offer ample heat and long-term performance – perfect for quickly heating an outdoor restaurant patio to serve customers quickly or providing warmth on deck or poolside cabana at resort.
No matter which patio heater you purchase, always be sure that it remains free from anything combustible – this will prevent it from catching fire or spreading it nearby objects. Also consult your owner’s manual for specific care and maintenance instructions for your particular unit; regularly cleaning with damp cloth is ideal for eliminating dirt, dust and pollen accumulation as well as using high-grade automobile wax for scratch protection and corrosion.
