Patio heaters have one main function- to keep you and your guests warm as the temperature drops allowing you to utilize your patio earlier in the spring and later in the fall. There are two sizes of patio heaters, table top and floor models. Patio heaters for residential use are usually propane powered. Patio heaters for commercial use maybe propane or natural gas based. Natural gas requires the use of a professional for hook up and possibly permits for use. Check with your area officials to find out what you might need before adding a natural gas patio heater to your patio.
Table Top Patio Heaters
Table top patio heaters have up to a ten foot area of warmth. These heaters do provide a minimal amount of lighting. Most models take a 1 or 20 lb cylinder of fuel. Stainless steel, cast iron and aluminum are the most common components of the outer hull. Our heaters have safety shut offs in case the unit is tilted. Table top heaters may make it a little easier to keep the heater out of children's reach. These units DO get HOT. When used around children care should be taken. |  |
Floor Patio Heaters
Floor style patio heaters supply up to a twenty foot area of warmth. Floor and firepole patio heaters are usually 7 feet high or more to allow guests to stand near the heater and receive its warmth from head to toe. Liquid propane is the most common source of fuel but some models use natural gas and require a qualified professional for installation. Floor patio heaters consist of
stainless steel patio heaters and aluminum patio heaters and have a single, double, or triple dome for heat release. Our
patio heaters have safety shut off systems. Special care should be used when children are in an area where a patio heater is in use. These units DO get HOT. Do not leave children unattended near a patio heater that is in use.
