Patio Electric Heater

Electric patio heaters are the modern way to extend outdoor living spaces. Electric heaters do not emit carbon monoxide and can be installed in enclosed spaces with no ventilation.

To determine the power (BTUs) required to warm your space, take note of the cubic footage of the space and the temperature rise you wish to achieve.

Power

Patio heaters can keep outdoor living spaces cozy and warm even when the sun sets and temperatures drop. They work by emitting radiant heat to objects and surfaces. They are available in propane, gas, and electric models. The best choice for your outdoor space depends on availability of fuel and power sources. Gas and propane patio heating systems are based on natural or liquid fuels, while electric patio heaters generate heat using electricity. In general, natural gas and propane patio heaters have higher ratings in BTUs than electric patio heater electric heaters.

Electric patio heaters plug directly into 120-volt outlets of standard which makes them the most simple to set up. Electric patio heaters might not generate more heat than models powered by natural gas or propane, but they can increase the cost of electricity. Propane patio heaters -like our top choice one, the AZ Patio Heaters Propane Patio Heater -- are 20-pound propane tanks that require propane refills from local convenience stores or gas stations. They're also being portable, meaning you can move them around to keep the area warm as 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 free standing electric heaters, which are ideal for pubs. These mount either to the struts of a parasol, or can be secured to the main pole of the unit. They are therefore susceptible to theft, so it is essential to consider the position of a device like this.

Bromic's newest range of freestanding electric patio heater outdoor heaters is a step above the rest in style and practical. The sleek designs are available in a variety of elegant finishes that will fit any style. They are quick heating and can be set to 800W or 1.5kW according to your requirements. The digital LED fire display is also integrated into the unit to improve the look of your outdoor space.

The energy output of a patio heater could be measured by its BTU rating, which tells you how many Btu's it produces per hour. A patio heater that produces 40000 BTUs can be used to be able to heat a space of 150 square feet. Anyone looking to warm larger areas should consider using multiple patio heaters or a combination of freestanding heaters and firepits which can create zones with different levels of warmth.

Heat Output

Electric heaters for patios are a convenient method of providing warm, comfortable heat without using fuel or chimneys. They plug into conventional electrical outlets and are portable which makes them ideal for outdoor seating areas and 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 it is, the greater its heating capacity. Electric patio heaters are capable providing up to 46,000 Btu each hour.

The amount of BTUs you need will depend on the dimensions of your patio and the temperature you want to attain. A good rule of thumb is to estimate the square footage of your space, then multiply it by the desired temperature increase. Then, divide the result by 1,000 to convert it to watts and find out the amount of energy your heater consumes per hour. You can estimate the cost of your heater for your patio by using the wattage rates found in your owner's guide or on your utility bill.

Gas patio heaters burn natural gas, propane, liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), propane or butane to create a flame that heats a perforated metal screen, which radiates the warmth into your outdoor living area. A reflector atop the burner helps direct the heat downward, maximizing efficiency and enhancing its effectiveness in the event of windy conditions.

Although the power of gas patio heaters is comparable to electric model, they need a larger upfront investment since they must be connected to either a propane or natural gas line. They're best for large, well-ventilated spaces that can be turned on and off as required, or programmed using the use of a timer.

Some gas patio heaters feature a built-in electronic ignition system however, others might require you to light them manually using the help of a torch or grill lighter. Follow the manufacturer's guidelines for safe lighting. Make sure to turn off the natural or propane gas before you attempt to ignite the burner. They are available as ceiling or wall mounted models and come with various options for controlling. These include dimmers and timers that cycle off and on according to set intervals.

Design

The right patio heater will make a big difference in your outdoor space. A electric patio heater will keep your outdoor space warm and inviting for a long time after the sun sets.

A tabletop model may be adequate for a temporary installation but a wall-mounted freestanding model is usually more suitable for a permanent installation. This will ensure that the heater is placed in a proper position to give the greatest heat coverage. The height at which you place the patio heater will be a significant factor in how much heat it can generate. Some models have a tilting feature that allows you adjust the direction of the heat.

People who want to add a modern flair to their outdoor space can opt for an infrared or halogen patio electricpatio heater. Infrared lamps emit a soothing blue light that is similar to sunlight. Certain models come with a built-in sound system that plays music when you press the button.

A flush mount patio heater is a popular choice. It can be put in the ceiling of an outdoor living space. This is ideal for rooms that cannot support a suspended fixture due to space limitations or a ceiling that is too steep. The flush mount design is available in all of Bromic's Electric heater series and works with a variety of mounting poles to satisfy your needs.

If you prefer the simplicity of a single element patio heater, there are simple stack switches that will give you control over the heating. These switches let you enjoy the warmth of your patio heater at full power, half power or even completely off.

Gas patio heaters are available to those who prefer to heat their outdoor spaces using the traditional flame method. These appliances burn either natural gas, liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) or propane to fuel a flame that then radiates the heated air onto surrounding surfaces. These appliances are usually powered by the propane tank which must be replenished on a regular basis.

Installation

Electric heaters for your patio are a great option to keep enjoying outdoor dining and entertaining after the sun has set. They are simple to use, inexpensive and easy to use, providing a powerful radiant heat that will keep your guests warm, particularly on those cool evenings. To ensure safety and durability they must be properly installed. Before making any professional installation, it's important to follow the manufacturer's recommendations and consult an electrician or plumber if you're using a gas-powered model.

The first thing you need to determine when choosing an electric patio heater is the size of an area you want it to warm. In general, a patio heater with a higher BTU (British Thermodynamic Unit) rating is more powerful and will offer greater coverage. A higher BTU rating requires more electricity.

It is also important to consider whether you want to mount your electric patio heater on the wall or the ceiling. Both options have their pros and cons. The wall-mounted units can be installed in many different places and are compact. They aren't easy to reach and their nozzles must be cleaned frequently.

A ceiling-mounted patio heater may give a modern, sleek appearance and is ideal for high-ceilinged areas. This is an option available on all Bromic's electric models and requires a minimum cavity space within the ceiling, ranging by model.

Lastly, you may also select a propane or natural gas-powered patio heater. They aren't as portable than electric heaters but they still provide a good amount of heat and can be turned off or on easily with a remote controls or a built-in clock. Gas-powered units are less safe than their electric counterparts because they rely on combustion to function. They also require regular maintenance.

Wood-burning fireplaces, such as metal firepits, chimineas, or brick fireplaces with built-in bricks are appealing to those who prefer heating their patios in a traditional method. They also provide an authentic look to your outdoor space. These kinds of units can be difficult to maintain since they require regular cleaning of ash and other debris. They can also produce sparks which can be dangerous if they are not properly maintained.
