Buyer Guide For Patio Heaters
When shopping for a patio heater, several key factors should be considered to ensure you make the right choice. First, determine your heating needs by measuring your outdoor space and considering the climate you live in. Choose between propane, electric, or natural gas models based on your accessibility to fuel sources and convenience preferences. Propane heaters offer portability but require tank replacements, while electric models need proper outlets but are more environmentally friendly.Consider the BTU output (typically 40,000 BTU is sufficient for a standard patio) and the heating radius to ensure adequate coverage. Look for safety features such as automatic shut-off, tip-over protection, and weather resistance. Finally, factor in your budget, keeping in mind that while initial costs vary, fuel efficiency and durability can affect long-term expenses. Popular brands like Hampton Bay, Fire Sense, and AmazonBasics offer reliable options across different price points.
How to use Patio Heaters
Patio heaters are excellent solutions for extending your outdoor living space usage during cooler weather. Here’s a comprehensive guide on how to use them safely and effectively.Choosing the Right Location
- Place the heater on a flat, stable surface
- Keep at least 3 feet clearance from walls and flammable objects
- Avoid placing under covered areas with low clearance
- Ensure proper ventilation in the surrounding area
Starting and Operating
1. Connect the fuel source (propane tank or natural gas line) properly
2. Check for gas leaks before first use
3. Turn the control knob to “Pilot”
4. Press the ignition button to light the pilot
5. Once lit, adjust the temperature setting as needed
How to Maintain Patio Heaters
To keep your patio heaters in top shape, start with regular cleaning. Wipe down the heating element and reflectors with a damp cloth to remove dust and debris. Inspect the fuel source; for propane heaters, check the tank for leaks and ensure connections are secure. Perform seasonal checks on ignition systems and replace batteries if necessary. Store heaters indoors during the off-season to protect them from the elements. Always follow manufacturer guidelines for maintenance and safety, ensuring a warm outdoor space for years to come.
