Patio Electric Heater

Patio electric heaters are the modern method of extending outdoor living spaces. In contrast to 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, provided they are not left unattended.

Calculate the cubic footage and desired temperature rise to determine the power (BTUs).

Power

Patio heaters can keep outdoor living spaces warm and warm even when the sun goes down and temperatures decrease. Radiant heat is released from the heaters onto nearby objects and surfaces. Electric, propane, and gas models are available. The type of fuel and power source availability will determine the best option for you. Gas and propane patio heating systems rely on natural or liquid fuels, while electric patio heaters produce heat by using electricity. In general, propane and natural-gas patio heaters have higher ratings in BTUs than electric patio heaters.

Electric patio heaters are the most simple to install since they plug into regular 120-volt outlets. They may not provide the same amount of heat as propane or natural gas models, however, and frequent usage of an electric patio heater will increase your electric bill. Propane patio heaters -- such as our top pick overall one, the AZ Patio Heaters Propane patio heater electric infrared Heater -- utilize 20-pound liquid propane tanks that require propane refills from local convenience stores or gas stations. They are a benefit of being portable, meaning you can move them around to keep the area warm as the sun moves across the sky.

There are now freestanding electric heaters that are suitable for use in pub environments. They are available in addition to wall or parasol mounted units. They attach to the struts of a parasol, or can be fixed to the main pole of the unit.

They also come with an inbuilt digital LED fire display that can add to the look and feel of your outdoor space.

The BTU rating of a patio heating unit can be used to determine its heat output. This rating indicates how many Btu it produces each hour. For example the 10,000 BTU patio heater can produce enough heat to warm an area of about 150 square feet. If you're looking to heat more of a large area, think about using multiple heaters for your patio. You can also combine freestanding heaters and firepits to create zones of various temperatures.

Heat Output

Patio electric heaters are a convenient method to provide warm and comfortable heating without chimneys or fuel. The heaters plug into conventional electrical outlets and can be moved and therefore an ideal choice for outdoor seating areas and backyard corners. The amount of heat a patio heater is able to provide is measured in British Thermal Units (BTUs) and the higher the number of BTU's it is, the greater its capacity to heat. Electric patio heaters are capable providing up to 46,000 Btu in an hour.

The dimensions of your patio and the temperature you'd like to attain will determine how many BTU's you will need. A good guideline is to estimate the square footage of your area and then multiply it by the desired temperature increase. Divide the amount by 1,000 and you will get the power consumption of your heater. You can then use the wattage rate that is listed in the owner's manual, or on your local utility statement, to estimate how much your patio heater will cost each hour.

Gas patio heaters use natural gas, propane, liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) propane or butane to create a 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.

Although the power of gas patio heaters is comparable to that of an electric model, they require an investment upfront that is greater because they require either a natural or propane gas line. They're ideal for areas with good ventilation where they can be switched on and off as needed, or scheduled with a timer.

Certain gas patio heaters come with an electronic ignition system built-in and some require you to manually light them using torch or grill lighter. Always follow the manufacturer's instructions to ensure that they are lit safely, and make sure that the natural or propane gas is turned off before trying to start the burner. They are available in wall or ceiling mounted models and come with various control options. These include dimmers and timers that cycle on and off according to time-based intervals.

Design

The right patio heater will make a huge difference to your outdoor space. A patio electric heater will keep your outdoor space warm and inviting for a long time after the sun goes down.

While a standard tabletop model might be sufficient in the short run but a wall-mounted or freestanding model is typically better suitable for a long-term installation. This will ensure that the heater is properly placed to give the greatest heat coverage. The height of the patio heater is also important in determining the amount of heat will be generated. Some models feature tilting features that allow you to alter the direction that heat is reflected.

Those looking to add a modern touch to their outdoor space may select an infrared or halogen patio heater. While halogen lamps emit an orange glow while infrared patio heater electric models emit a soothing blue-colored light that is reminiscent of natural sunlight, and allows you to relax.

Gas patio heaters are readily available for those who prefer heating their outdoor spaces with the traditional flame method. These appliances burn either natural gas or liquefied petroleum gases (LPG) or propane to fuel a heater which then releases the heated air onto the surrounding surfaces. They are usually fueled by a small propane tank that must be refilled regularly.

Installation

Electric heaters for your patio are a great option to continue outdoor dining and entertaining even after the sun has set. They are easy to operate, cost-effective and practical. They can provide a strong radiant heat that helps you and your guests stay comfortable, especially during the cool winter nights.

It is important to follow the manufacturer's recommendations and speak with an electrician or in the case of gas-powered equipment plumber, prior to installing any professional installation.

When choosing an electric patio heating system first, you must determine how much area you would like it to heat. In general, a patio heater with a greater BTU (British Thermodynamic Unit) rating is more powerful and can provide greater coverage. However, a heater with a higher BTU rating will also require more power to operate.

Another thing to consider is whether you want to mount it on the ceiling or wall your electric patio heater. Both options have advantages and drawbacks. Wall-mounted units are more compact and can be put in a variety of places. They aren't easy to reach and their nozzles have to be cleaned frequently.

Finally, you can opt for a propane or natural gas-powered patio heater. These heaters aren't as portable than electric heaters, however they still provide a high amount of heat and can be turned on or off easily by remote control or a built-in clock. But, because they depend on combustion for their operation gas-powered units aren't quite as safe as their electric counterparts and require frequent maintenance.
