Why Choose an Outdoor Heater?

Convenience – Outdoor heaters are quick and easy to use. Simply switch on your gas or electric unit and enjoy instant warmth wherever you need it.

Value – Adding a patio heater increases the usability of your outdoor space, letting you make the most of your backyard, deck, or business patio.

Efficiency – Many of our heaters use infrared technology to provide directed heat, maximizing efficiency and comfort without wasting energy.

What to Consider When Buying

Fuel Type – Decide between gas (propane or natural gas) or electric. Gas heaters provide strong heat for larger areas, while electric units are ideal for smaller patios and simple installation.

Configuration – Choose from freestanding, wall-mounted, or ceiling-mounted designs. Freestanding units are portable, while mounted units save floor space.

Heat Output & Size – Select a model with the right power for your space. Too much or too little heat can make your patio uncomfortable. Ensure proper clearance for safety.

Features – Many models include smart features like remote controls, dimmers, waterproof construction, wind resistance, and automatic shut-off timers for added convenience and safety.
