You’ve even seen our list of best outdoor heaters for 2020. Now it’s time for us to get down to details and help you make your decision!
There are a number of excellent outside heaters to choose from, and it’s important to keep your specific needs in mind when making the choice. Fortunately, with the number of options Patio Products USA offers, you’re sure to find the best outside heater for your space!
Outdoor Heater Fuel Types
What option you choose will largely depend on what power supply you have readily available. Fortunately, the best outdoor heaters are available in a wide variety of fuel types to meet your needs. Each fuel type has its own advantages, so this choice should be considered carefully. You’ll want the fuel source that best fits your lifestyle and needs. Here’s a refresher from a previous article:
Natural Gas
Natural gas heaters produce more heat for less energy and cost less to operate in the long run.
Electric
Electric outdoor heaters produce fewer emissions, are easier to install, safer to operate in covered spaces and easier to maintain.
Propane
Heaters that are powered by propane tanks are often portable, though there are portable heaters available with natural gas and electric power sources as well.
Styles of Outdoor Heaters
Outside heaters are an appliance, so it’s no surprise that function takes precedence over form. There are still choices to be made when it comes to style, though! Many of the best outdoor heaters give you the option of tucking your heaters away into your outdoor ceiling or displaying them proudly. Outdoor heaters fit into most décor aesthetics with ease while providing your space with the perfect level of heating to keep everyone comfortable.
Wall and Ceiling Mounted Outdoor Heaters
Several of the best outdoor heaters are available in flush mounting options, tucking away into the structure of your patio space. These are hardwired into your space and often require little to no maintenance as a semi-permanent appliance. These heaters come in both gas and electric power options.
If recessing the heater into the wall or ceiling isn’t an option for your space, you can mount the heaters externally to create an appearance similar to semi-flush mounted light fixtures. Several of these heaters even come with various color options for their casing to help them match your outdoor décor. Regardless of how you choose to mount it, wall and ceiling mounted heaters save space while providing a wide range of heat.
When it comes to wall and ceiling mounted heaters, our experts recommend looking at Infratech heaters and Bromic Heaters.
Electric wall and ceiling mounted heaters that use infrared technology to heat people and objects within an up to 11’x11’ area, and aren’t affected by outdoor elements like wind. In addition, Bromic and Infratech wall and ceiling mounted heaters are compatible with smart control systems and feature tilting heads for optimum directional control of your heat. Patio Products USA offers an extended warranty on Infratech outdoor heaters, so you can have confidence in your installation!
Freestanding Outdoor Heaters
If you’ve got a big yard or patio, you might need to move heat around to where the people are. Freestanding heaters are perfect for moving around your backyard or commercial space to make sure that your guests stay warm and toasty wherever they are. These also come in gas and electric options, and some models come with storage space for propane tanks to keep them safely out of the way.
The Bromic Tungsten Smart-Heat Portable Heater is our favorite freestanding model. The adjustable tilt head makes sure you get heat exactly where you need it, and with a range of 215 square feet it’s bound to cover your needed area. Two rolling wheels make this heater portable so you can set it up wherever you need it, and it includes a safety shut-off control that will turn the heater off at once if the re-ignition feature fails.
