Types of Outdoor Heaters

If you want to keep enjoying your garden after sundown, a patio heater is an effective way of keeping cosy under the stars! Place your outdoor heater alongside your bistro sets or garden lounge sets for added warmth and ambience for those long summer evenings.

We have a choice of patio heaters in sizes to suit all gardens, from small electric outdoor heaters to large gas patio heaters for outdoor entertaining, as well as covers to keep them protected when the weather isn’t quite so pleasant!

Electric patio heaters

An electric patio heater is a cost-effective method for warming up cooler nights. Available in tabletop varieties for smaller gatherings as well as large models for garden parties, it’s as simple as plugging in and feeling the warmth!

Gas patio heaters

An outdoor heater powered by gas has the benefit of being portable, so you could put it anywhere you like in your garden. Some options also use a flame effect which can make a real impact when used on the patio, great for sitting around and letting conversations flow.

Are outdoor heaters expensive to run?

The cost of running your outdoor heater depends on lots of things, including the size of your heater, the length of time it runs for, and how it’s powered. A tabletop electric heater will use less energy than a large, freestanding one, but will need to work harder to create the same heat. Remembering to only use it when it’s needed is your best bet for saving energy.

Gas canisters for powering gas patio heaters will cost more initially, but many vendors will refill canisters for a discounted price after they’re bought. You can also check out our collection of fire pits and chimineas for a natural source of heat for those garden gatherings.

FAQs

Can electric patio heaters be used indoors?

Certain models of electric outdoor heaters are suitable for both indoor and outdoor use, but you should always check first. Always keep rooms well ventilated when using patio heaters and don’t leave them unsupervised!

How much area can a patio heater cover?

Depending on the size of your patio heater, they’ll cover different areas. Tabletop outdoor heaters are designed for more intimate gatherings and won’t cover as much area as a large freestanding heater, which are ideal for larger gatherings.

Are patio heaters suitable for all weather conditions?

Our outdoor heaters are designed to be durable, as those summer showers tend to sneak up on us! However, in extremes, we’d always advise that you keep your patio heater safe in a shed, outbuilding, or under a cover to avoid damage.

Are gas patio heaters safe?

Provided that you follow the instructions carefully and install them properly, your gas patio heater should be perfectly safe to use. Remember to keep your heaters clean and regularly check them for faults, as well as making sure the area you’re in is well ventilated.
