Outdoor space heaters are great for enjoying outdoor space during the fall and winter seasons when the temperature starts to drop. These space heaters transform any chilly backyard or outdoor space into a more comfortable and enjoyable experience. While many outdoor heaters are designed to heat up the immediate area within a certain distance, some of them have wheels and other design features to increase mobility. Outdoor space heaters are useful for grounds maintenance projects and are a great way to ensure that your patio furniture doesn’t wind up collecting dust due to the cold wintry weather. Read on to learn more about the outdoor space heaters that Staples has available.
What Types of Outdoor Space Heaters Are Available?
Outdoor space heaters come in an array of sizes and designs suitable for any porch or outdoor space. Depending on the user’s needs and the location, patio heaters are either gas-powered or electric. Gas-powered outdoor heaters use propane gas to create heat, while electric patio heaters rely on a power connection to generate heat. Learn more about the two most popular outdoor space heater varieties available below:
Gas-Powered Patio Heaters
Outdoor space heaters that are powered by natural gas use propane gas and have a low long-term ownership and maintenance cost. Propane-powered patio heaters connect directly to a gas line to offer continuous heat until the gas runs out. They are also easy to maintain, meaning that once these heaters are in the perfect spot, there is virtually no reason to shuffle them around any longer.
Many gas-powered outdoor space heaters are available as standing units, although some portable versions do exist. These patio heaters should be used outdoors so that the fumes have a chance to disperse properly.
Electric Outdoor Space Heaters
Electric outdoor space heaters are an efficient and portable solution to heating any porch or outside recreational space. The output of these patio heaters is measured by wattage and BTUs or British Thermal Units. Typically, higher wattage and BTUs mean more comforting heat on a frigid day. Electric heaters are extremely portable and can be positioned or mounted several different ways:
- Standing electric outdoor heaters are usable in any outdoor setting, regardless of size. Many of these patio heaters are available with wheels for increased portability.
- Hanging electric patio heaters are used for overhead heating on smaller porches or locations with limited space.
- Umbrella-mounted electric outdoor space heaters can be equipped to most standard patio and porch umbrellas. Just attach them to the center pole of the umbrella and enjoy outdoor entertainment in the colder weather!
- Wall-mounted outdoor heaters are another great option for those with a limited area of space. Electric patio heaters can be mounted to any wall easily with bracket mounts.
