Patio Heaters
Patio heaters: how to choose
Electric or gas? Electric infrared (Platinum, Tungsten Electric, Cobalt, Eclipse) is silent, has no flame or fumes, and is the only choice under a covered patio, pergola or awning; it needs a 240 V circuit (commercial 208/277 V versions exist). Gas (Platinum Gas, Tungsten Gas, Tungsten Portable) puts out two to three times the heat per unit and suits open terraces and restaurant patios; wall and ceiling models need a gas line, the Portable runs on a 20 lb propane tank. How many? Bromic sizes heaters by area: one 2,300 W Platinum covers about 65 sq ft, a Tungsten 500 gas about 215 sq ft. Mount them 7 to 9 ft above the floor, angled toward the seating.
Start with the fuel, then the mount. Electric patio heaters for covered spaces · Gas patio heaters for open air · Wall-mount · Portable · Commercial. By brand: Bromic (in stock, ships free) · Schwank · SunStar · Dimplex.
