What is a Patio Heater?
A patio heater is a device designed to provide warmth in outdoor spaces, extending the comfort of patios, decks, and gardens throughout cooler months. Available in various fuel types—including electric and infrared—these heaters make it easy to enjoy outdoor living year-round.
Infrared patio heaters are a popular, energy-efficient option that deliver direct radiant heat, warming people and objects rather than the surrounding air. This makes them ideal for windy or open outdoor areas, as the heat isn’t easily lost. They also heat instantly, require minimal maintenance, and come in both freestanding and wall-mounted designs.
