Gas patio heaters

Gas heaters are powered by a gas tank, generally propane, for an even emission of warmth. These are an incredibly efficient option and are available in many styles. A budget patio heater can suit smaller entertaining areas where a portable source of warmth is useful.

Outdoor electric heater

A common type of outdoor heating across Australia, these offer warmth from a heating bulb. Outdoor infrared heaters are particularly effective and can be moved easily. For exposed settings, a waterproof outdoor electric heater can provide warmth without relying on a gas cylinder.

Fireplaces and fire pits

Fireplaces and fire pits bring that wow factor into any outdoor space. These are great for outdoor parties, creating a focal point for gathering.

The advantages of high-quality outdoor heaters

Outdoor heaters are the perfect way to improve your usage of your garden, patio, or deck. High quality models are incredibly discreet, designed to blend into your outdoor space and warm the surrounding air without taking away from the ambience. Electric heaters are versatile, so you can move them to suit your specific heating needs. Other models are designed as a focal point, such as fire pits, combining style with practicality. High quality outdoor heaters do not require heavy maintenance and will last a long time as long as they are used properly.

How to choose an outdoor heater that is right for you

When choosing an outdoor heater, first consider what kind of heating you’ll need. Electric and gas heaters are ideal for heating large expansive spaces. Larger styles, such as standalone patio heaters, give off enough heat to warm an entire patio space, whereas smaller versions can be placed near dining tables or outdoor furniture for a smaller pocket of warmth. Fire pits and fireplaces require the correct building requirements and can be permanent installations. Wall mounted patio heaters can keep floor space clear and direct warmth towards a seating or dining area.

Can I leave my electric patio heater outside?

As they are designed to heat outdoor spaces, most electric patio heaters can be left outside for extended periods of time without the risk of damage. High-quality heaters have better insulation and thus have greater longevity even in unpredictable weather conditions, as is common in Australia.

Do patio heaters use a lot of energy?

Different patio heaters consume different amounts of energy. Gas heaters consume more energy but offer greater heat output. Electric heaters are more cost-efficient and eco-friendly, consuming less energy. Overall, the amount of electricity any appliance demands depends on how often it is used.

What is the optimal wattage for an outdoor heater?

Wattage describes the amount of energy needed for heat output. Larger spaces, such as expansive patios or decks, will require a greater wattage to ensure an even distribution of radiant heat. Experts in Australia recommend 2000 to 3000 watts in wide areas and around 1500 watts for small patios.

Is it safe to use an outdoor gas heater?

High-quality outdoor gas heaters have a very low risk of fire. This is because any flame is safely contained with protective tubings. However, it is recommended to use these heaters in open spaces without any nearby combustible materials. If your patio is covered, make sure you check with your specific manufacturer’s instructions to determine whether your outdoor gas heater is suitable for this area.

Do outdoor gas heaters last a long time?

Outdoor gas heaters last a long time, requiring only minimal maintenance. Gas lines are fitted into the heater, directly supplying energy for heat emission. These lines can get damaged after a while, particularly in extreme weather, so it is important to check that they are in working condition.
