Outdoor Patio Heaters

Portable patio heaters help you enjoy the ambiance of your patio or deck, even in the cold winter months. Using kerosene, natural gas, butane, or propane, they feature poles that measure from 3 to 7 feet high. Many feature safety controls like tilt protection switches, open flame controls, emergency shutoff valves, and more.

Electric outdoor heaters, on the other hand, require only an electrical outlet and minor assembly. These patio heaters use halogen heating bulbs to warm your space, and some models can be placed on a tabletop for cozy patio dining. Generally, you can expect an outdoor electric heater to warm a 20-foot-diameter area by about 10 degrees.

Types of Patio Heaters

• Tabletop heaters offer flexible outdoor heating solutions since they can be easily moved from a grilling area to an outdoor dining table, porch side table, or any location with a nearby outlet.
• Freestanding gas heaters deliver widespread heat coverage for several people at a time.
• Outdoor infrared heaters offer instant and silent supplemental heating for covered porches, workshops, and garages.
• Fire pits are excellent for radiant heating and adding ambiance to outdoor spaces.

Commercial Patio Heaters: These powerful units are often seen at restaurants, hotel pool areas, and rooftop lounges and bars. Made of heavy-duty stainless steel, these commercial-grade heaters distribute heat at high BTU levels, and cover wide areas of surrounding outdoor space. Commercial patio heaters are often powered through electricity, natural gas, or propane and can be floor- or ceiling-mounted heaters.

Residential Patio Heaters: These add direct heat to outdoor dining areas and living spaces, such as gazebos, decks, porches, and patios. Fueled by propane gas tanks or powered by electricity, outdoor heaters are portable and convenient, as well simple to use, and require little maintenance. Many outdoor patio heaters are certified by recognized testing labs, and some models feature an internal safety switch that automatically shuts off the heater if it tilts forward or backward.
