Type of heat source

Types of patio heaters include propane, electric and gas. Electric models are the most convenient and inexpensive to operate. However, they must be near an electrical outlet, thus limiting the possible locations. Natural gas heaters must also be in fixed location near the gas source. Propane types offer the most flexibility in regards to placement, but you must purchase the propane.

Style and Size

The three basic styles are the tabletop, mounted and freestanding heaters. Tabletop heaters are nice for smaller spaces, since they can heat an area of around 8 to 12 feet. Mounted heaters that go in a wall or ceiling free up more space to entertain. Full-size heaters, which can moved, are ideal for approximately 25 feet.

After selecting the type, style and size, consumers can choose from finishes like bronze, stainless steel or a powder-coated finish. Each type will extend your enjoyment of the outdoors.
