The reason we did the patio heater reviews is that we all love our outdoor living and spend time out on the deck, patio, or yard. But when it gets colder later at night or later in the season, spending time outside is not too comfortable anymore and we move inside again.
With a quality patio heater, we can expand the time we can sit outside and stay comfortable and warm.
It is not easy to find the right heater for your situation and we have the solution for that.
We have done patio heater reviews for you to help you find the one that fits your specific situation. There are so many heaters available in all kinds of price ranges that it is hard to choose the right one.

Maybe all you need is a small tabletop patio heater. Or if you have a lot of company one or several pyramid-shaped patio heaters.
Do you need a propane patio heater or can you use natural gas? Is an electric tabletop heater a better choice for you? Maybe you need a quartz patio heater in your specific situation or even an infrared one.

What to look for in a patio heater
There are many patio heaters available depending on the area you need to cover and how your patio or deck is laid out
The most known is the full-size stand-up tall heater where you can stand or sit under, but there are also other types and models like tabletop heaters or heaters to mount on the ceiling or wall. Another choice you have is the fuel source.
Most of the manufacturers offer a variety of options for the same heater to match your outside decor. From stainless steel to nice bronze and heaters with a golden accent.
Before purchasing a patio heater we have to decide on what and where we use it for and the available space you need to cover with it.
Fuel sources for patio heaters
There are basically three heat sources available. Propane gas, natural gas, or electric-powered patio heaters.
The advantage of propane gas we found in the propane patio heater reviews we did, is that you can move the heater to any place you like and this makes them easy to use.
The price of natural gas is lower compared to propane and you do need to worry about refilling your tank and this provides you with a constantly available fuel source. Installation is most of the time required by a professional installer.
Electric patio heaters have to advantage of having zero-emission and the cost is fairly low and most of the time between propane and natural gas. There are models that you can just plugin into any 120-volt outlet and some have to be professionally installed.
Heat output and size
Most common and known are the full-size heaters. They are most of the time around 7 or 8 feet in height and have an output of about 40.000 BTU. Depending on your layout you can use a smaller tabletop heater on every table on your patio also that will produce about 3500 BTU. The large industrial patio heaters can have thousand of BTUs,s but will most of the time also require a natural gas hook up.
A ceiling heater can be placed under an umbrella most of the time and will heat a smaller but more.
Consider the total layout of your patio and how you will use the heater or heaters before deciding on what is best for you.
Models and design
One of the most important aspects in choosing the right patio heater is the design. The design has to fit the rest of your patio and can enhance the total outdoor experience of your patio or deck.
Many manufacturers have more than one option available to provide you with the look you need and match your patio design.
