Patio Electric Heater Electric patio heaters provide modern ways to expand your outdoor living space. Electric heaters do not emit carbon monoxide and can be installed in enclosed spaces with no ventilation. Calculate the cubic footage and the desired temperature rise to determine the amount of power (BTUs). fireplacesandstoves can keep outdoor living spaces warm and warm even when the sun goes down and temperatures drop. They function by releasing radiant heat to objects and surfaces. They are available in propane, gas, and electric models. The type of fuel and power source availability will determine the best option for you. Patio heaters made of propane and gas depend on liquid or natural fuel, whereas electrical patio heaters use electricity to produce heat. Generally natural gas and propane patio heaters have higher BTU ratings than electric patio heaters. Electric patio heaters plug directly into standard 120-volt outlets, so they are the most convenient to install. They may not provide the same amount of heat as natural gas or propane models, however, and frequent usage of an electric patio heater will increase your electric bill. Propane patio heaters — like our top choice, the AZ Patio Heaters Propane Patio Heater — utilize 20-pound propane tanks which you must refill with propane from local convenience stores or gas stations. They're also being portable, meaning you can move them around to keep your area warm while 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 pub environments. They can be attached to the parasol struts, or the main pole. However, this can make them susceptible to theft, so careful consideration needs to be taken as to the location of such a device. Bromic's latest range of free-standing electric 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 decor. They offer fast heating and can be adjusted to two different modes that are 750W or 1500W, depending on the requirements of your. They also come with an inbuilt digital LED fire display that can enhance the appearance and feel of your outdoor space. The energy output of a patio heater can be determined by its BTU rating, which indicates how many Btu's it produces per hour. For example the 10,000 BTU patio heater can produce enough heat to heat an area of approximately 150 square feet. If you are looking to heat larger areas should think about using multiple patio heaters or a mix of freestanding heaters and firepits, which can create zones with different degrees of warmth. Heat Output Patio electric heaters provide warm, comfortable heat without the need for chimneys or fuel. They plug into regular electrical outlets, which means they're an easy and portable choice for outdoor seating areas or backyard nooks. The amount of heat that a patio heater can provide is measured in British Thermal Units. The higher the number of Btus, the greater the capacity of heating. The best electric patio heaters typically achieve 46,000 Btu's in an hour. How many BTUs you require will depend on the dimensions of your patio and the temperature you want to attain. A good guideline is to determine the square footage of your space and then multiply that by the desired temperature increase. Divide the result by 1,000 and you will calculate the power consumption of your heater. You can estimate the price of your patio heater using the wattage rates found in the owner's manual or on your utility bill. Gas patio heaters use propane or butane, LPG or natural gas to heat a perforated screening. The warmth is transferred to your outdoor living space. A reflector above the burner directs heat downwards to maximize efficiency and increase its effectiveness in the event of windy weather. While the heating power of gas patio heaters is comparable to that of an electric model, they do require an investment upfront that is greater because they need to be connected to either a propane or natural gas line. They are ideal for large, well ventilated spaces and can be turned off and on at will or programmed using an alarm clock. Certain gas patio heaters come with an electronic ignition system built-in some, while others require you to manually light them using a grill lighter or torch. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for safe lighting. Make sure you turn off the natural or propane gas before you try to start the burner. They can be wall- or ceiling-mounted and come with a variety of control options, including dimmers and timers that switch on and off at specific intervals to maintain a certain temperature. Design A good patio heater can make all the difference in your outdoor space. A electric heater for your patio will keep your outdoor space warm and inviting after the sun sets. A tabletop model might be sufficient for temporary use, but a wall-mounted or freestanding model is generally better suited to an ongoing installation. This will help ensure the heater is positioned properly to provide maximum heat coverage. The height at which you install the patio heater will play an important role in how much heat it can generate. Certain models have a tilting function that allows you to alter the direction in which heat is projected. If you're looking to bring a modern touch to your outdoor space, a halogen patio heater or an infrared model is the best way to go. Infrared lamps emit a soothing blue light that is similar to sunlight. Some models also come with a built-in speaker that plays music at the touch of one button. Another option that is popular is flush mount patio heaters that can be put on the ceiling of your outdoor living space. This is ideal for rooms that can't support a fixture suspended due to space constraints or a ceiling that is too sloped. The flush mount is available in all Bromic's Electric heaters 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 available that give you easy control over the heating. You can select to have your patio heater on full power, or at half power or off. Finally, there are gas patio heaters for those who prefer a traditional flame-based method of heating their outdoor areas. These heaters use propane, LPG or natural gas to heat the air. These appliances are usually powered by an insignificant propane tank that needs to be replenished on a regular basis. Installation Patio electric heaters are the perfect option to keep enjoying outdoor dining and entertaining after the sun has set. They are simple to operate, cost-effective and easy to use. They can provide a high-quality radiant heat, which allows you and your guests to stay warm, especially on the cool winter evenings. However, they must be installed correctly to ensure safety and longevity. It is important to follow manufacturer recommendations and talk with an electrician, or, if you're using gas-powered equipment, a plumber, before installing any professional installation. When you are choosing an electric patio heater first, you must determine how much area you want to heat. In general, a patio heater with a higher BTU (British Thermodynamic Unit) rating is more powerful and can provide more coverage. A higher BTU rating will require more power. Another consideration is whether you prefer to wall or ceiling mount your electric patio heater. Both options have pros and pros and. Wall-mounted units are more compact and can be placed in a variety locations. They can also be harder to reach and their nozzles might require regular cleaning. Ceiling-mounted patio heaters can provide an elegant, modern look and are perfect for areas with high ceilings. This option is available on all Bromic's electric models and requires a minimum of space in the ceiling depending on the model. Additionally, you can choose a natural or propane gas-powered patio heater. While they're not as portable as their electric counterparts, these models still offer a good amount of heat coverage and are easily switched on and off using a remote or by an integrated timer. However, since they rely on combustion for their operation, gas-powered units aren't as secure as electric equivalents and require regular maintenance. If you prefer a more traditional approach to patio heating, wood-burning units like metal fire pits and chimineas as well as brick fireplaces that are built-in are very attractive and can add a rustic feel to your outdoor space. These kinds of units are difficult to maintain as they require frequent cleaning of ash and debris. They also generate sparks that could be dangerous if they are not properly maintained.
