Choosing An Outdoor Patio Heater

If you are thinking about buying an outdoor patio heater, you are not alone. Incorporating an outdoor patio heater into your outdoor living space is becoming a new-found trend as more and more people desire to extend their time relaxing comfortably outdoors.

Simply place a patio heater and your outdoor space, and you add precious weeks to your outdoor enjoyment season. Energy-efficient and attractive models come in a variety of styles, size and fuel sources to meet every need. What's more, radiant heat systems, provide deep down warmth, for even greater comfort.

In many sections of the country, parts of the spring and fall (especially the mornings and evenings) are too chilly to relax comfortably outdoors drinking a cup of coffee, reading the newspaper, or sipping on an adult beverage. Fortunately, there is now the option of increasing the temperature in your outdoor living space to allow you to have more time enjoying your backyard patio without putting on long johns, leggings, or ear muffs.

Many outdoor patio heaters take the chill off in a radius of approximately 10 to 15 feet, but some bigger, more powerful models heat up a larger area. Outdoor patio heaters provide the same warmth that a fire pit can, but without all the mess and smoke from burning wood.

Today's outdoor patio heaters are available in many different styles, types, and price points to fit every budget and situation. Choose from a large selection of electric patio heaters, outdoor natural gas patio heaters, and outdoor propane patio heaters. Depending on your deck or patio size, you can choose from a number of different type of mountings, from suspended, wall, pole mounted, or hanging. For smaller spaces, a table lamp electric heater makes a great addition to an outdoor living area.

But outdoor patio heaters are just for residential homes either. Business like hotels and restaurants can use patio heaters to extend their dining out or lounging season with the simple addition of an outdoor patio heater.
