Electric heaters are eco-friendly and ideal for smaller spaces.Look for a heater with sufficient BTU output to warm your desired area, and ensure it has safety features like tip-over protection and automatic shut-off. Additionally, choose a design that complements your outdoor decor, whether its a freestanding, tabletop, or wall-mounted model. Finally, check for weather resistance and durability to ensure it withstands outdoor conditions.
