Brand: Mr. Heater

If you are looking to turn your garage or barn into a work space you can use all year-round, you will have to find a safe quiet and reliable heat source. This 80,000 BTU Natural Gas Unit heater is the way to go. It uses a built-in electric high velocity fan to pull cool air into the rear of the heater, across a heat exchanger, then forcing warm air into the surrounding areas. These heaters only require 115v AC power and can be vented vertically or horizontally – please check local codes and restrictions. With a mounting clearance of only 1 inch, the supplied brackets, external access to power, and thermostat connections – installation is a cinch. With the Durable Spark ignition and robust factory standard self diagnostic control module, we can offer a 3 year factory warranty on all parts and burners and a 10 year warranty on any defects in the heat exchanger. This heater offers the operating versatility and safety that you have come to expect from Mr. Heater.

Buyer Guide For Patio Heaters

Fuel Type. Choose between propane, natural gas, or electric heaters. Propane is portable but needs refilling, natural gas requires installation but is cost-effective, and electric heaters are convenient but may increase energy bills.
Heating Power. Look at BTU (British Thermal Units) ratings. Most residential patio heaters range from 40,000 to 50,000 BTUs. Higher BTUs mean more heat output and larger coverage area.
Coverage Area. Consider the size of your outdoor space. Calculate the square footage you need to heat and match it with the heater’s coverage capabilities.
Safety Features. Look for units with:

• Auto shut-off if tipped over
• Protective grills
• Weather-resistant construction
• Stable base design

Mobility. Consider if you need to move the heater around. Look for models with wheels if portability is important.
Weather Resistance. Ensure the heater is suitable for your climate and has proper weather protection features.
Style and Design. Choose a design that complements your outdoor d?cor. Options include standing, mounted, or tabletop models.
Cost and Maintenance. Factor in both purchase price and long-term operating costs. Consider maintenance requirements and parts availability.

How to Maintain Patio Heaters

Regular maintenance ensures your patio heater works efficiently and lasts longer. Start by cleaning the exterior with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris.
